THE ORIGIN OF IN-TRINITY
ÂŽ
In-Trinity came from an inspiration I had while lying on a mound of grass next to a riverbed in Brazil. As I lay there, I began to stretch and it struck me that if I could put my hands under the earth I would be able to expand my movement and go deeper than the ground would allow. I began to explore movements on the incline and decline and was elated to discover that the possibilities were endless. I went home and placed a park bench on a rock in my garden. I worked with angles for about a year before I found the one that captured the feeling I first had at the riverbed in Brazil. I brought prototypes of this discovery to my partner, Matrix Fitness, who infused the innovation with intelligent engineering and worked with me to bring In-Trinity to life. In-Trinity is an elevated fitness board and training program designed to build strength, balance and flexibility, coordination and agility. For the first time, In-Trinity takes the workout off the floor, providing access to entirely new movements and completely redefining the training environment. I invite you to discover this transformational exercise experience and boundless group training opportunity. The more you use In-Trinity in your programming and personal practice, the more possibility and reward you will discover.
DISCOVER IN-TRINITY IN-TRINITY: A RAISED PLATFORM, AN ELEVATED PRACTICE, A NEW PARADIGM The Johnny G In-Trinity Board by Matrix is an innovative incline training platform that builds strength, deepens flexibility, and improves balance, coordination and agility. It presents the unique opportunity for movement below the board, which allows users to train more deeply and in ways never possible before. In-Trinity training is an exciting and original exercise modality that breathes new life into traditional practices. The expansive In-Trinity programming draws from traditional disciplines including yoga and martial arts to create a vast body of exercises that promote physical wellness as well as mindfulness. The incredibly versatile board is a refreshing complement to existing exercise protocols and presents opportunity to enhance and re-imagine a variety of training regimens or independent exercise. The simplicity of the In-Trinity board belies the depth of its versatility and functionality.
THE 8 ELEMENTS OF IN-TRINITY GRAVITY Gravity is what pulls the body toward the earth and keeps it connected to the In-Trinity board. At times gravity works to assist movements. At times, movements must overcome gravity’s pull. The In-Trinity board and training program harness the power of gravity to create resistance and to facilitate movement
STICKS Inspired by martial arts training, In-Trinity sticks serve as extensions of users’ arms and hands to provide length and light resistance. They assist with balance and improve hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
NEGATIVE SPACE Negative space is the area beneath the board. Access to this space allows users to extend their range of motion beyond what is possible when training on the floor.
INCLINE Incline changes the way the body perceives movement and can alter the challenge of certain exercises. Muscle activation for the hamstrings, quads, glutes and calves increases when performing dynamic movements on an incline.
ERGO-GRIP RAILS The ergo-grip rails extend the entire length of the board. Access to negative space enables users to grasp the rails and better connect with the board. The rails provide stability and help anchor the body so that users can deepen stretches and explore new movements. STRAPS The quick-connect straps serve as an extension of the board and keep users connected and centered. They provide resistance and stabilization, enabling users to confidently attempt challenging movements.
DECLINE Decline also changes the way the body perceives movement and can alter the challenge of certain exercises. Decline creates opportunity for exercise involving eccentric muscle contraction, which applies force to muscles as they lengthen. HOURGLASS DECK The hourglass shape allows users to comfortably straddle the In-Trinity board. It also facilitates flowing transitions between incline and decline and from one movement to another.
INSPIRED SOLUTIONS JOHNNY G IN-TRINITY BOARD BY MATRIX The incline training board introduces original exercises not possible on the floor and makes traditional movements feel new. The hourglass deck allows for smooth transitions between movements, and the elevated platform creates incline and decline for below-board training. The ergo-grip rails give users a secure grasp of the platform, while the sticks and attachable straps add intensity and increase exercise variety. The detachable comfort mat removes easily for cleaning. OPTIONAL IN-TRINITY STORAGE RACK The vertical mobile storage rack simplifies class set-up and equipment storage. It accommodates five boards, and comes with a durable storage pack that holds 5 pairs of sticks and straps.
