press release: Speedflex (UK & Ireland) Limited
Speedflex supports Village Health and Wellness Clubs ‘V Games’ with inclusion of the Speedflex Blade
28 Mar 2024
Taking place on 7th April at Village Ashton, V Games | The North is one of two free regional event / Speedflex
Far from an elite contest, V Games is open to everyone of all fitness abilities, including non-Village members – and it has just become more inclusive with the addition of the Speedflex Blade.
The V Games features a combination of cardiovascular machines, bodyweight exercises and weighted movements to complete the 8-station challenge in the fastest time possible.
Speedflex are proud to be supporting the V Games, with the inclusion of the Speedflex Blade in place of a less inclusive barbell movement. The Power Clean and Press exercise on the Blade is significantly safer and suitable for a wide range of participants, reducing the risk of injury. The Blade’s built-in screen features an exercise library, where the on-screen trainer demonstrates the form and technique, enabling users to jump straight on the Blade and begin exercising.
James Smith, Speedflex Director of Sales UK: “We’re really pleased to support Village Clubs and the V Games, including the Speedflex Blade makes the challenge unique and more accessible. The Blade has proven really popular with Village members, both on the gym-floor and in the small group training ‘Blade Blast’ which centres around it, with auxiliary stations. We’re really looking forward to the V Games and look out for Team Speedflex!”
Taking place on 7th April at Village Ashton, V Games | The North is one of two free regional events, welcoming members and non-members to team-up or tackle the event solo for a chance to bag £1k worth of prizes including a Speedflex hoodie, free membership, hotel breaks and fitness tech goodies. With 33 clubs across the UK, Village will host the V Games South later in the year, enabling members and the public another chance to compete.

Testimonial
"Jubilee Hall Trust has been pleasantly surprised with the Speedflex units.
Not because of how good they are, the ease of use and the smoothness of movement - we knew they were good! We were surprised by how many of our senior customers used it, intuitively and without prompt.
Many operators have machines which are challenging for certain demographics of our community to use, least of all our seniors! But Speedflex is different. I have seen customers approach it for the first time, play on the screen and easily start a workout, and better still, they say their joints didn't hurt either.
Whilst many operators would put two units next to a rig, we have one in an open space and another in a quiet space; more private, less on show. It’s this unit the majority of individual users go to. Yes, the studio classes are better for having one but don’t rule out having one as part of your special populations area too.
I was surprised how well Speedflex sits in both camps. HIIT Without the HURT, perfect for classes and studio but equally as good for seniors to do those all-important compound movements; Osteoporosis fighting, strength training. Riskfree."
