AlterG, the producer company of Anti-Gravity Treadmill, the revolutionary technology for athletic training and rehabilitation launched today the AlterG M300 product. M300 uses the same anti-gravity technology developed at NASA, which can be found in the P200 series too, but at a third of the price and packed in a new design. M300 brings the revolutionary technology closer to millions of people who are trying to rehabilitate more easily from surgery or injury or they just want to train smarter. The best thing about this product is that the efficiency/price is very good. This new product is basically an improved P200, and main differences are that M300 is optimized in form, function and price for therapy in clinics, trainings and fitness facilities.

"Our AlterG P200 can bear the weight of pro football players, move at the speed of Olympic runners and accommodate the specific requirements of world-class teams and athletes" said Lars Barfood, the CEO of AlterG. "The new M300 is designed to take all the benefits of our existing anti-gravity treadmill and make it more affordable and manageable for physical therapy clinics, fitness and training facilities and individuals. AlterG removes the obstacles associated with training and physical rehabilitation - impact on the body and the pain and difficulty of recovery - and helps even more people achieve their training and rehab goals.

This recovery machine is great both for weekend warriors recovering from surgery and for hardcore athletes training through an injury. This product allows people to run and walk at a fraction of their body weight, it applies a precise and a comfortable force to lift the body, and people can move naturally and pain free. Reducing body weight lowers the impact on joints and muscles to provide a smooth recovery from injury or from surgery. AlterG M300 is also good for improving training and performance.

AlterG is easy to use, and it has simple differences from a traditional treadmill. First of all, the user steps onto the treadmill, raises the enclosure and zips into the chamber. The controls are pretty the same with traditional treadmills' controls, beginning with the body weight measuring tool and with the pressure measuring tool. The body weight can be modified and actually reduced up to 60%, and the pressure on joints is much better and allows people to train better.

The speed and the incline also can be modified, and this also modifies the intensity of the exercise. In addition to the standard features, you will get support from the inflated air chamber. This way, the exercise will be more effective, and you body will recover faster.Originally, this product has been designed for athletes and professional sports teams, but nowadays anyone can benefit from this revolutionary product. So anyone looking to train or to smart rehab should get a M300. The company is working on improving the quality/price ratio, but taking into account that the technology used in this product is quite new, you should understand the price tag.

AlterG is pre-selling the M300 model, and the product will be shipped starting with November 2009. The product begins at $24,500 and here are some information about model's varieties.

With the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill you get all the gain, without the pain. AlterG optimizes rehab and training by minimizing the impact of running and walking on a person’s body.

For athletes – training is injury free and rehab is faster

For patients with lower body injury – faster recovery and smoother return to full functionality

For patients with neurological disorders – helps to maintain, and even regain, functionality and mobility

For weight loss – motivates users by simulating weight loss, protects joints from stress

AlterG has been reinventing rehabilitation and athletic training with its NASA developed, anti-gravity technology since 2005. Alberto Salazar, famed marathon runner and director of the Nike Oregon Project, was instrumental in working with AlterG to provide feedback on the prototype. His athletes began testing AlterG prototypes in 2006. Additional early testers include the Golden State Warriors and Oakland Raider franchises. In 2007, AlterG went to market with the first commercially available Anti-Gravity Treadmill.
