History of The Trainer Custom Series Exer-Genie Exerciser

Exer-Genie, Inc was formed in 1961 and developed by Gene Hulkavick. For the first 3 years of its use the Firm was Embryonic and the primary effort was toward the development and improvement of the product, product applications, and marketing.

Then in 1964 The Exer-Genie Exerciser was recognized as a breakthrough in the theory of combining isometric and isotonic exercise. The simplicity of accomplishing isomeric contraction by fingertip pressure to fatigue the muscle, and then working the tired muscle isotonically through the full range of motion, made the Exer-Genie exerciser ideally suited for this theory as well as other theories of exercise. Strength, endurance, flexibility and technique can be developed in minimum time, reducing repetition and boredom. In 2008 that system is now known as The Trainer Custom Series Exergenie Exerciser.

From there the Exer-Genie went thru a lot of amazing advances and experiments including being part of Nasa's astronaut program and playing a big role in keeping the astronauts fit for their 500,000 mile journey into space on Apollo 8 which orbited the moon 10 times, as well as on Apollo 11 flight to the moon.

The Exer-Genie also Excelled heavily in the sports world and was accepted by numerous schools, colleges, and professional teams and even Olympic athletes. By allowing the motion of the sport to be simulated against selected resistance, and uniformed through a complete range of motion the Exer-Genie became a must have for all sports enthusiasts.

In 1989, The Trainer® Fitness & Rehab System was developed for the non-athlete using the EXER-GENIE® exerciser’s technology along with 36 years of research and application for the busy person looking to take better care of themselves.
