No fitness enthusiast would even consider beginning to exercise without the right footwear. And the actual surface for the workout is equally important...which is where Venture Products, LLC's Shock Athletic™ lineup of portable fitness mats and interlocking gym flooring comes in.
Whether for yoga, Pilates, resistance training, or basic stretching, Shock Athletic products offer a broad range of sizes and styles that provide a solution for just about everyone. And they're ideal for use in a health club or at home.
"Whenever you work out, you want to be on a top-quality mat to maximize your results," explains Steve Fischer of Venture Products. "Let's face it; everyone wants to be safe and comfortable while they work out."
In addition to exceptional cushioning and stability, the Shock Athletic lineup offers yet another benefit to athletes -- Microban® antimicrobial zinc technology which is infused into the mats during the first stages of production. As a result, Microban protection inhibits the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold, and mildew during the full lifespan of the product.
"By their very nature, health facilities and home gyms alike are prone to breeding bacteria," Fischer adds. "This can be scary stuff, so it just makes sense to utilize Microban antimicrobial technology to provide our customers the cleanest fitness flooring possible."
Shock Athletic products are available at The Sports Authority nationwide, as well as online at www.venture-products.com.
Microban antimicrobial technologies can be incorporated into a broad range of materials. Venture's products that feature Microban protection are made from EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) Foam and do not contain any type of lead, paint or latex.
