:: COMPEX AUSTRALIA - TESTIMONIALS ::

	Jono Brauer "as a professional athlete the need to keep on top of training is imperitive especially when dealing with injury. The only way that I maintained my strength post op was to use the compex strength programs. I found phenomenal gains without lifting heavy weights and i now use my compex whilst lifting weights to get the absolute most out of my work out."

	Jerry Rice "For two years after my surgery I tried every kind of exercise imaginable, but my left quad still remained smaller and weaker than my right quad. Then I started using Compex Sport for 20 minutes a day, and within just a couple of weeks I noticed a huge difference. Today, my left quad is as strong as my right and I am back on the football field ready for the coming season. Compex Sport gives athletes in any sport an advantage because it lets them train more efficiently and effectively, and without the physical and psychological fatigue of conventional workouts."

	Justine Henin-Hardenne "Compex Sport enables me to train longer and with greater intensity. It is remarkable. I would not have thought that this small device was so powerful!"

	Hermann Maier "I never thought I would win again so quickly. It's probably my greatest victory. Compex has always been an important part of my training routine; but since the accident, Compex became a critical element in getting me back on track to compete at a world-class level. The Compex programs helped me to regain my lost muscle strength during the enforced training break. After which I got back to using my favorite workout programs on my Compex Sport."

	Chris Barrett - Head Product Designer - Planet Altitude "OK I'm no stranger to injury - broken back in 3 places (motocross), 3 broken wrists (snowboarding, skateboarding), fractured sturnum (motocross), wasted shoulder joints (surfing) - should I go on? :-) Its why our obsession at Planet Altitude became to design protective products for sports that push your body beyond its limits. Its also why we have a lot in comon with companies such as Compex. I find the Compex great for not only keeping me in shape to avoid injury in the first place but also as an invaluable tool post injury. The Compex is second to none for pain management and keeping me in shape so I can get back out there quicker."

	Stuart Lee - Rugby, Basketball, Athletics Coach My name is Stuart Lee. I have a degree in Human Movement and a Diploma in PDH/PE. As well as teaching I coach rugby union, basketball and athletics for the school. My weekly training regime consists of two mountain bike rides, three weights sessions and on Thursday nights I run up to 3500 stairs with some other mad friends. That was up until an injury that stopped me in my tracks. After having an ACL knee reconstruction in May of 2005 there was a great deal of Atrophy to the quadriceps muscle group. My physiotherapist claimed that I had “a slow healing knee”, and I agreed with her. The rate at which flexion and extension was resuming to normal was very slow as was the rate of improvement to the muscles in my quads. Tom Dilba, who I met at university and is the Australian distributor of Compex, offered to lend me a Compex unit outlining the gains that I could expect, so I took up his offer. I placed the gel pads on both legs to have some comparison. Well to say I was horrified with what I saw would be an understatement. My “good leg” had a great neural and therefore muscular response as the current kicked in but my injured leg had almost no response at the same levels. This only proved what I already new, my quads in my injured leg were in very poor shape. From the first day of using the Compex unit I not only saw visible gains but I could feel greater stability around the injured knee and a substantial increase in strength in my quadriceps. Firstly I would set the Compex unit to Hypertrophy mode, then to Strength mode and would finish the session with the Recovery mode. Over the next few weeks I was doing up to six sessions a day. Because I was getting such great results it fed my enthusiasm to do more and more sessions. There was an obvious increase in the size of my quadriceps plus the strength gains allowed me to get back into some sort of normal sporting activity. I honestly believe that if I did not use the Compex Unit I would not have been able to get back to doing anything like cycling or running stairs as quickly as I did.

	Michael Byrne - 6 x World Championship Medallist - Inline Speed Skating "Compex has been a revelation for me. After years of competing on the international circuit and pushing myself as hard as possible, 'training smarter' has been my aim over the past season – to be more effective, efficient, productive and to remain injury-free. Shortly after integrating Compex sessions into my training plan I saw immediate benefits in improved recovery, muscle condition, strength gains and power output. Compex is focused, specific and completely customisable to the individual athlete and their goals. Definitely a part of training smarter."

	Aaron Richardson - 14 x Ironman Finisher and Australian Triathlon and Duathlon Team Member I have just completed my 5th season of summer training camp at Jindabyne, cycling between 160 and 200 kilometres everyday. This year I was given the opportunity to use the Compex Product extensively throughout the week. I was quite simply astounded with its effects and I can tell you that the Compex Machines, Active Recovery Program, is absolutely brilliant. The Compex Product allowed me to jump on the bike feeling fresh every day. I could feel the improvements in recovery and therefore performance enhancement. The Compex Product itself is robust, compact and the battery never seems to run flat. I was able to use the product safely on other athletes which our masseurs loved too, as it meant that those that used the Compex did not need to get such a long massage or one at all. With so many different products out their claiming to improve performance and recovery none have shown me such great results. I recommend the Compex Product’s to anyone who wants to get the most out of their sport or perhaps those needing to get extra recovery.

	Heath Betts I have been using the Compex Energy for the past 6 months now. I specifically use this unit for triathlon training, and for the major benefits of recovery. My partner also uses it for toning programs, and it's hard to get it off her to use for me. The benefits I have seen are amazing. I use the strength and endurance programs and my cycling and running feel another level. I have bought all the gear and equipment that you need for triathlons, but this is the best investment I have ever made. Instead of buying those new racing wheels or new bike, spend your money on something that makes you faster. I wish I had one of these when I was 15. I would of killed it. But I will make up for lost time now!!!

	Alex Moore - Physical Trainer - Australian Alpine Ski Team "Many of the team use Compex units and they play an integral role in recovery on the road as well as optimising strength and power gains in the gym. We have also had great success using the units with injured athletes and have experienced accelerated recovery times from these injuries."
