Egg Weights are the World’s first palm centered weights specifically designed to work with the body’s natural motion during physical activity. They don’t alter or obstruct functional movement during physical exercise like a traditional dumbbell shape. Each size, shape, and weight has its own unique characteristic that can be customized to match any fitness level from beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
In addition to the company’s testing with ultrarunners, triathletes, fitness experts, coaches, and professional athletes, the company has recently started testing with the Los Angeles Police Academy and UCPLA (United Cerebral Palsy Los Angeles) with amazing results.
“We wanted to validate our product with the men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department who protect and serve our community every day,” said Founder Christian Malcolm.
“They enjoy the egg weights and love the structure of it,” said Alex Contreras, Assistant Athletic Director, Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club.
“After we launched our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/eggweights, we were contacted by a few individuals suffering from muscular degeneration diseases. I reached out to my local United Cerebral Palsy Regional Office and donated some Egg Weights and hand straps for testing,” said Malcolm.
“People with spastic cerebral palsy have difficulty keeping their hands open, their muscles want to contract and pull the fingers and palm into a tight fist. Using the Egg Weights with the straps, they are seeing benefit. Just having the clients hold the weights for an extended period keeps the muscles from tightening,” said Amy Simons, Chief Development Officer, UCPLA.
It is our goal to unite the fitness world with those suffering from muscular degenerative diseases to be stronger together.
