3ACT Slide – The Multi-Directional Self-Contained Fitness Tool

The 3ACT Slide’s multi-directional design allows tri-plane movement to simulate athletic and physical demands for a variety of sports and rehabilitation needs. The sliding surface demands increased muscular activity, emphasizing control of deceleration forces to optimize explosive athletic skill. The dual sided stability blocks allow customized foot positioning, while offering safety and movement specific guidance.

The idea for the 3ACT Slide was conceived by physical therapist Dave Armet and personal trainer Christy Abel as they were preparing for a golf performance lecture. Their conversations focused around the common movement flaws they observed in so many golfers and athletes. They desired a surface on which they could promote rotational movements for a wide range of physical abilities. Beyond this, they knew it had to be portable as they had both previously worked in locations where floor space was limited.
