The science behind Sproing is real and documented. We conducted an extensive three month study to prove what we already knew (and felt!) – that Sproing is half the impact of a treadmill or elliptical. Read for yourself the research studies. The facts are compelling.
Research Studies:
- Research shows that Sproing has half the impact of a Woodway treadmill. To receive the full report, please contact us.
