Equalizer Testimonials
Ross O'Donnell, President, Fitness Kickboxing Canada Inc.
"Since being introduced to the Equalizer by Marc Lebert, we have incorporated them into our kickboxing program. Having our students perform kicks over the Equalizer has drastically improved form and technique by requiring extension and retraction without allowing the leg to drop during kick drills. It has been well received by our students as a fresh innovative learning tool that has enhanced strength and conditioning as well. We were so impressed that we introduced them as a part of our Can-Fit-Pro accredited Continuing Education Credit workshops for Personal Trainers and Fitness Instructors." Ross O'Donnell, President, Fitness Kickboxing Canada Inc.
Lori Kirwan, PhD Exercise Physiology, Group Exercise Manager and Instructor
"My experience with the Equalizer is that it's taken the intensity of my classes up a notch. It's given me tons of variety and new exercises to work with. It's what we were looking for to promote group exercise programs and to get people to come out and participate in a program. As a fitness instructor and coordinator of a group exercise program, I also like the fact that they stack and are easily put aside when they are not being used." Lori Kirwan, phD Exercise Physiology, Group Exercise Manager and Instructor, free-lance writer in the field of fitness and nutrition.
Brigitte Blais, Fitness Model, Competitor, etc:
"I love my Lebert Equalizer! Why? When I’m short on time, it gives me the opportunity to challenge my entire body into a 20min workout! By doing circuit training, you maintain an elevated heart rate that keeps you burning calories to a greater range. I have found the Equalizer very useful for balance training and stretching as well. It is very versatile and will give you the results you want."

Dale Mitchell, OHL Oshawa Generals:
"I play Hockey for the Oshawa Generals. I enjoy using the Equalizer because it is a simple design that can put you through a great workout. The Equalizer is excellent for making your legs stronger with the many different types of squats you are able to do. Not only working the legs, the Equalizer can build the upper body without needing a bar from a gym! The Equalizer can be turned into a simple portable chin up bar that will work those arms and that chest...solid. After using the Equalizer, I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to get stronger and in shape."Dale Mitchell, Oshawa Generals, Ontario Hockey League.
Jason Downey, Pro Fitness Model, Competitor:
"Before every competition or contest, you will see guys/girls doing an assortment of exercises to 'pump up'. In most cases, competitiors have to get creative with their surroundings in order to find different exercises to attain that pumped look. However, I've found one simple answer to this - It's easy, convenient and best of all, extremely effective - It's called the Equalizer. I love using the Equalizer before my competitions. It allows me to get that pump and the look I need before I go out in front of thousands of people. Without the Equalizer, I would be stuck doing push-ups for hours trying to get what the Equalizer does in minutes. I always get that full bodied pump before each show with the Equalizer and am always confident about the look I need and desire. Now I will take my Equalizer with me everywhere so I can hit every muscle I want with ease, while watching my competitiors struggling on the floor doing push-ups. The Equalizer has helped me attain the look I want, and the convenience of it all is just remarkable." Jason Downey, Pro Fitness Model/Competitive Bodybuilder

Dorothy Waxman, Occupational Therapist:
"The Equalizer has many applications, as shown in the website. There is appeal for any age, especially when they see how much fun it is to challenge oneself on one simple piece of equipment! The diameter of the tube is comfortably grasped by men and women. In addition, the older population, many of whom have some difficulty to maintain or recover their balance,find the Equalizer to be most useful. We can practice seated balance activities on the stability ball, at a wall, (progressively moving away), with the Equalizers on either side. The yellow colour is easily seen in the client's peripheral vision, as are the black grips, and the Fitness Professional can observe the client, or add external stimuli (like a ball toss), once the client is comfortable with having the Equalizer handy. The Equalizer has more than just a one-point reference to access for stabilization. The client can also stand between the Equalizers, on the floor, or on a selection of stability-challenging options (rolled towel foam pad, etc.)" Dorothy Waxman, Dip. O.T. (Occupational Therapist).
