“To meet the complex needs of upper extremity conditioning without the hazards imposed by standard arm ergometry, the newly upgraded and technologically advanced VitaGlide® better serves as an exercise.”
Mark S. Nash, Ph.D., FACSM, FASIA, Associate Scientific Director for Research, Miami Project to Cure paralysis, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
“I have been into fitness my whole life – D1 football player, power lifter, cyclist, triathlete, so when I suffered a SCI injury in 2022 resulting in quadriplegia I was devastated. One of my first goals was to get out of my power chair and into a manual chair. I was introduced to the VitaGlide while in rehab and enjoyed using the machine. I realized it was a great piece of equipment that helped me build shoulder strength and endurance, both of which would be critical for helping me transfer and be successful in a manual chair.
After I was discharged, I decided to incorporate the VitaGlide into my therapy and strength training routine primarily as a cardio component. I worked directly with Marcy and Hugh during the ordering process, as well as some trouble shooting and questions down the road. I’ve had the machine now for 9 months and use it a few times a week. My endurance continues to improve and Marcy & Hugh are always available – they have even reached out to me just to check in.
“The VitaGlide is very beneficial for me in a wheelchair. There aren’t many machines that people in wheelchairs can use and truly benefit from. The ability to have some exercise and work my upper body helps me not only on a physical level, but also mentally. It does everything they said it would do. As a bonus, the owners are wonderful people who I truly enjoy talking to and staying in touch with.”
“I am an Adaptive Fitness personal trainer and the VitaGlide has been a game changer for my clients. Most of my clients range from paraplegics and quadriplegics to stroke clients and traumatic brain injury (TBI) clients. Sometimes it can be difficult to find fresh adaptive ways to challenge my clients, but the VitaGlide has brought a great new challenge for my clients. Specifically, the VitaGlide gives a great upper body exercise targeting cardiovascular health and muscular endurance. Overall, the VitaGlide is a fantastic machine!
As an added bonus, Hugh and Marcy have incredible customer service, and were helpful with any issues we faced when learning how to utilize the VitaGlide efficiently. We felt like more than just customers because of the familial-like customer service of Hugh and Marcy. We are grateful for the VitaGlide team and organization!”
“This is a fantastic product…I have gained core strength and lost weight from using it daily. Highly recommend for folks in chairs :)”
“Awesome innovation for us wheelchair users looking to get an effective core workout. Cardio workouts for quadriplegics are nearly non-existent without the VitaGlide.
Thanks to Marcy and all the dedicated ppl at VitaGlide, I’m able to get a core, and back workout. Being that I’m right side flaccid, the previous pulley version was ideal but, this new version allows independent movement on my affected side which enhances isolated movement. I’ve gotten stronger, and dropped a little body fat since regularly using the VitaGlide💪🏾.
I’m forever appreciative for the VitaGlide company assisting the lives of us wheelchair users, the elderly, and even abled-bodied (my careworker has used it too).”
“After my stroke, I went to a rehab facility. They have a VitaGlide and I’ve been able to build up strength using the machine. I’m seeing great results.”
“It’s awesome. Lost 20 lbs. from the exercise. It works.”
At The Perfect Step (Paralysis Recovery) Center, we embark on a mission every day to make a real difference in the lives of individuals facing neurological disorders resulting in paralysis. In this journey, we have been fortunate to come across a remarkable piece of equipment that has revolutionized the way we help our clients regain strength, mobility, and hope: the VitaGlide.
The VitaGlide has become an indispensable part of our rehabilitation program. It offers a simple yet effective solution to build upper body muscle strength and core stability, with a special focus on shoulder orbit reinforcement. More than just a machine, it’s a beacon of hope for those who’ve faced life-altering challenges.
What sets the VitaGlide apart is its ability to engage multiple muscle groups, simulating the motions of rowing and cross-country skiing. This delivers an unmatched combination of cardiovascular conditioning and strength training. For our clients, it has opened doors to endurance, energy, and confidence.
Its design allows for a natural, fluid motion with minimal shoulder stress. Users can independently adjust resistance levels for each arm, making it adaptable to a wide range of physical abilities and rehab goals.
One of its most important benefits is the prevention of shoulder impingement—a frequent concern for individuals with paralysis. This isn’t just about exercise—it’s about improving quality of life.
The VitaGlide has become more than equipment—it’s a tool for transformation. It has helped our clients rebuild strength, regain confidence, and embrace independence.
With VitaGlide, every day becomes an opportunity for progress.
We’re proud to see VitaGlide® making an impact in rehab centers, adaptive gyms, and clinics across the country! Here are some of the facilities that have incorporated VitaGlide® into their programs. Please Note: This is for informational purposes only and doesn’t imply an official endorsement.
