Stroops Balance, Resistance, and Functional Training Equipment for Rehab and Performance Settings
There is a convergence of approaches in rehabilitation and sports training. Both the patient restoring ankle stability and the athlete preparing for speed require instability, elasticity and low impact exercise. Such pieces of equipment suitable for both types of people can be a cost-effective solution for a fitness center.
MediDepot’s Stroops collection carries 40 products across balance training, elastic resistance, functional bars, plyometric tools, and conditioning machines. The range is built around portable, low-footprint equipment, with a few commercial cardio machines at the high end.
The product mix reaches across clinical and fitness environments. This collection is a fit for:
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics
- Sports medicine and athletic training rooms
- Chiropractic practices with exercise areas
- Strength and conditioning facilities
- Schools, colleges, and team training rooms
- Senior and wellness centers
- Boutique fitness studios and ballet or dance studios
- Home-based practitioners who need portable gear

| Wall and group systems | Several | Group or fixed-station resistance | Needs anchor points or floor base |

Choosing for Your Program
Match the equipment to the patient population and the room you have.
- Start with the goal. Balance boards support proprioception and stability. Bands support progressive strength. Machines support conditioning.
- Consider progression. The WBK kit with 3 progressive boards allows a patient to advance in difficulty without buying separately.
- Count storage needs. The WBS stand holds 5 boards and keeps a clinic floor clear.
- Think portability. Bands, bars, and the VITL kit travel easily, which suits home visits and outreach.
- Plan for group work. The SRPBASE base and REVOL anchor are built for group resistance sessions, which suit classes and team settings.
- Choose motorless treadmills for specific reasons. They run without electrical power. The curved model is self-propelled, while the flat model suits users who prefer a flatter surface.
- Check anchor requirements. Wall-mounted stations and band anchors need a suitable wall or fixed structure.

Check the load limit, size, anchor points, and instructions for setup on every page before making your purchase. The MediDepot does not guarantee the efficiency of the device for the treatment of any condition. Exercise programs for patients should be set by a qualified clinician, and equipment should be inspected for wear before each use. Elastic bands in particular should be checked for nicks and tears.
Building a Program Without Overspending
A few sequencing habits help a clinic or gym grow its equipment gradually.
- Begin with balance and bands. They cost less than machines and cover many programs.
- Add anchors when you add group work. Fixed systems earn their keep when several people train together.
- Buy machines last. Commercial bikes, rowers, and treadmills take the most space and budget.
- Keep replacements in stock. Bands wear out, so keep a few extras available.
- Train staff first. Equipment that staff do not understand tends to sit unused.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a balance board and a rocker board?
A balance board typically allows movement in several directions, while a rocker board allows movement along one axis. The collection lists Fitterfirst Professional balance boards in 16 in and 20 in sizes, and a 20 in rocker board.
How do Slastix bands differ from standard bands?
The collection lists Slastix bands in several lengths and styles, including sleeved bands and a loop band. Check each product page for resistance level and material details.
Do the motorless treadmills need electricity?
No. The OPTICURV self-propelled curved treadmill and the OPTIMILL flat treadmill are motorless, so they run on the user’s own movement.
What is included in the Fitterfirst balance board kit?
The WBK kit is listed as a 3 board progressive set. Confirm the sizes and contents on the product page.
Can these items be used in a home setting?
Many are portable, including bands, bars, balance boards, and the portable door barre. Clinicians sometimes send patients home with items from a program, so confirm suitability with the treating professional.
Are there options for group classes?
Yes. The SRPBASE portable base and REVOL Revolution Anchor are designed for group resistance training, and the CONNECTUS barre and resistance system is listed as an all-in-one option.
