Elite Performance

• "Ultraslide is the best slide board on the market. Some of ours are ten years old and still working perfectly. We use them with every athlete we train regardless of sport. Thanks for a great product."

• "We are very happy with the Utraslide slide board.  The non-slip underside, ability to adjust the length, durability and team logo embedded on the board are all the reasons that make it the best slide board out there."

• "TRIA Orthopaedic Center serves Minnesota’s pro teams (Wild, Timberwolves, Vikings, Lynx, Twins and Swarm) as well as select University of Minnesota teams.  We use Ultraslide for development of explosive hip strength and movement, i.e. hockey, football, basketball, skiing athletes.   The Ultrasliide allows us to clinically simulate sport-specific movements.  The patient maintains balance and stability while staying in a functional athletic stance, demanding quad strength and explosive power at the hip.  Beyond its traditional usage, we also draw on Ultra Slide for core strengthening, shoulder stabilization and cardiovascular activity for those seeking general wellness and health.  The Ultraslide’s adjustable wood bumpers allow us to use it no matter the ability level of the patient."

• "I was first introduced to the Ultraslide about 15 years ago when I was working with Mike Boyle in his facility outside Boston. Fast forward to today and I have taken what I learned with Mike and applied those principles to my own facility outside Chicago. The Ultraslide has followed me as well. It is an integral part of what I do from a training and conditioning standpoint. I use it with my athletes, tactical forces and people “in the game of life.” It gives me all of the energy development with no impact, power development for the golfers and pitchers and core proprioception for those that have lost sensory in space. In short, there was no way I was opening my own facility without Ultraslides in here."

• "We've been using the Ultraslides in our group fitness classes on a regular basis over the past year. The great thing about the Ultraslides is that is a simple and easy tool to use.  It is a great compliment and counterbalance to any linear (straight running) training that is typically done in conditioning. I also like that this tool is portable, quick and easy to set up.  It is also scalable to each individual.  I can put 12 year old kids on them, athletes, a stroke recovery client, and anyone in between.  I also use them for individuals that are limited to only low impact exercises on their knees and ankle joints."

• "As the owner of THE EDGE Sport Enhancement Training, we would argue that the Ultraslide may be one of the most “bang for the buck” pieces of equipment for cardiovascular conditioning and training. The Ultraslide is one of the best designed, most versatile and cost effective pieces of training equipment in our facility."
