is it good for training?

I used them to spar a lot, but the quality varries from unit to unit. They are good for shorter term use.

For adults training for Kendo, yes. They are perfect. For teenage boys beating on each other, no. They will break.

Worth a try. Our kids use it for martial arts training which includes sparring. They have braces top and bottom.

It is not going to prepare you for a Body Building Contest, but has pretty good resistance when turned up. It can do more than tone, can build muscle to a point also, but not like heavy squats. Like riding a bike up a pretty good hill for the whole ride.

Training dvd is decent. Provides a good intro. The vibration can be used as a warning that the shock is coming, you can train them to respond to just vibration in some cases. I use the tone for recall rather than warning/correction.

Its has a setting on the controls for training but for everyday use in full gear not sure if it would be ideal. You can choose the pace you would like to run at manually from the controls but if your doing 'intensity training', this is one of the controls on the panel. The machine will make you work, for it changes the speed automatically after a certain period which makes it interesting and makes you stay alert when using the weight-loss or intensity training options.

I am sure it could help train a dog to stop bad habits. It makes a high pitch sound, getting the dogs attention and causes them to stay back. Maybe if your dog does something that your training not to do, just say no, then a quick click on this tool and eventually your pet will understand that it is not okay. It is worth a try. I think it works great!

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

I really haven't tried. It Works well to train my animals, but I don't train persons.

I am not a distance runner whatsoever so I wouldn't know if this would be a good training tool for that. I played basketball and lacrosse in college and used the ladder quite a bit for agility and conditioning. I bought the ladder to use as a form of conditioning in conjunction with interval cardio training and weight lifting.. This person below seems to know what they're talking about too.

I don't use it for that but I would think it is good for that. Love the unit.

I've found the best use for it to maintain a 65-75% of my maximum heart rate for a very steady clip (so far I've gone 3.5 hours in one shot at the longest) It's a smooth speed and allows me to work properly. I'm not sure how intense you'd like to get while working, but if you want to push it will take it. The resistance just might not be high enough for your level of intensity depending on your strength. But it's certainly durable and capable enough as a machine.

In my personal opinion; this supplement is helpful to me for my overall mental well being. I do not know the how it affects weight training; and it may have different effects on each person. My personal experience is that the supplement has helped to improve my mood and it has some effect on decreasing my level of depression.

I use it for instructional purposes. I am the aquatic director of a pool. I think it would be fine for that.

That's a really hard question to answer, but I would say it probably is unless you're pretty fit and energetic. It definitely is a bit of a workout. That said, it may be doable if you plan on frequent breaks and not plan to use for extended periods. It's a substantial tool being a little heavy and unwieldy. I hope this helps.

It's not the best around but with that price, good enough for me to use it for my training.

Yes I use it for that purpose. This product works really well to me. I would recommend you try it.
