Swim Trainer


One of the best places to go besides CrossFit is Monkey Bar Gym. They too have the WOD but they also have a store to buy the products they use.

The Swim Trainer is designed for sports specific training and conditioning. It's the best way to improve your game - tennis, golf, swimming, punching, throwing, and so much more. Two cables connected to one point of attachment. This unique design allows the user to pull each cable independently or together without worry of the cable becoming uneven from side to side. Because of this, it is perfect for all types of sports & fitness training. $24.95
