The Oregon Project, funded by Nike, was started by Alberto Salazar in 2001 to train America’s most promising young distance runners. Salazar believes in world-class coaching supported by cutting-edge facilities and technology. One of the Project’s key technologies is the G-Trainer.

Alberto Salazar, Director of the Oregon Project, talks about the benefits of the G-Trainer and how, as a cross training tool, it allows his runners to increase training volume up to 25%.

Looking at the calibre of athletes using the G-trainer for enhancing their performance and reading the science and rationale behind the equipment convinced us that with the innovation and knowledge in the strength and conditioning team at Balance we could really have some fun and produce results.
