He said that when he went to check out the gym at the Saratoga YMCA, he found that there was equipment called suspension straps hung from the ceiling but they weren&#8217;t being used much. He went online and researched how to use the straps, which leverage gravity and body weight to produce resistance.<\/p>\n<p>He eventually became certified as a suspension trainer.<\/p>\n<p>Chindamo said business is picking up gradually. Classes, offered at 6 a.m., 10 a.m., noon and 6:30 p.m., currently run with seven or eight people in a space set up to accommodate as many as 25.<\/p>\n<p>His clients to cover a wide age range, from boys from high school teams to middle-age moms, on up to one 85-year -old. The youngest client is 10.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy McNutt and David Wolfe are the other two trainers at Saratoga Suspension Training.<\/p>\n<p>Chindamo said he went into a training business because he likes to make people feel good about themselves. He feels that suspension training is a thing that anyone can do. Intensity of a workout can be increased or eased up by moving one&#8217;s body forward or backward. Suspension training is good for strengthening the midsection, Chindamo noted. Core muscles are being worked even when the emphasis is on other muscle groups.<\/p>\n<p>The owner said he has received comments from clients saying that they can&#8217;t believe how much they&#8217;ve toned up, lost weight, and increased muscle in a relatively short time. Classes are $10 for a single class or people can pay $80 for unlimited classes in a month. The first class is free.<\/p>\n<p>The website address is suspensiontrainingcenter.com.
