Training ON SA Vibes

Tanika LaskeyFeatures, NewsLeave a Comment on Training ON SA Vibes

South Africa has been a favourite winter training destination for European athletes for many years. What that means is that they head to sunny SA in their European winter months – our summer – for training in our great weather conditions, when running outdoors back home is likely to be washed out by snow, rain, wind and freezing conditions. Two of these athletes are George Mills of Great Britain and Tom Elmer of Switzerland, who are also part of the ON Athletic Club (OAC), sponsored by ON apparel and shoes. Both have been coming to SA for a number of years, and we caught up with them in between double training session days for a chat about their experience in and thoughts on SA. – By Sean Falconer

Roxanne MartinAd Free, NewsLeave a Comment on Under Armour Flexes On The Launch Of Its Most Versatile Trainer Yet!

When Apollo Brands PTY LTD (official distributor of Under Armour in South Africa) launches a new trainer, you can expect technology to be at its very core.

The new UA Flex To Flow, dropping in stores nationwide on 23 February 2023, is lightweight and durable, with cushioning that provides a comfortably snug fit, making it the perfect go-to trainer for any sports activity at any level of training. It provides the ideal structure and support in all the right places while also assisting with the natural flex of your foot.

We Test The Shoe!

Our Sales Director, Richard Laskey, gave Under Armour’s new Flex to Flow cross-trainer a wear test, and says UA is so right when they say this shoe takes training to a whole new level!

Richard used the shoe in a multitude of disciplines, from running on the treadmill, jumping squats, to some strength work, using heavy weights, and his feedback from all of it was that this is one of the most versatile training shoes on the market. To show you what we mean, we made a video showing Rich putting the shoe through its paces, and you can see for yourself how amazing the shoe is.

 

 

Built using Under Armour’s signature Warp technology, the UA Flex To Flow works in unison with the foot to support you during each stride. It perfectly moulds to the foot for increased performance as your feet move through your workout regime.

Whether its HIIT training, cross fit, boot camp, or even pilates, its versatility is wherein the technology lies. The UA Flex To Flow provides excellent energy return, incredible consistency and dependable durability, which will keep you reaching for your new favourite pair.

The breathable fabric allows cool air to circulate while allowing humid air to escape. The upper is finished with a lacing system that secures the mid-foot for distraction-free strides.

 

The new UA Flex To Flow will be available in both men and women sizes with a recommended retail price of R2 999, and will be available in stores and online at https://underarmour.co.za
