The drop zones feature dual density rubber pads, with an extremely dense top layer to prevent premature wear. The top layer of rubber is also reversible, so the lifespan is doubled compared to many comparable platforms. The metal surround can be made in any colour you like, to provide an easily visible highlight to minimise the chance of the platform becoming a trip hazard. The platforms are used by many high performance centres, including the Queensland Academy of Sport. internationalfitness.net Practical online ed for club operators MINDBODY has launched  MBU on Demand  – an online educational program inspired by the success of the live ‘MINDBODY University’ events.
