Prohands Hand ExercisersWith the initial introduction out of the way, let's talk about this company's hand exercisers. These devices, which are produced in three separate lines, are designed to strengthen the hands and fingers through repetitive use. One of the things that makes Prohands unique is that their exercisers allow the user to exercise individual fingers as well as the entire hand. Traditional hand exercisers typically consist of a wound spring and two handles, requiring the entire hand to be engaged in exercise. But Prohands takes a different approach. The Prohands devices slightly resemble the fingering mechanism you might find on a trumpet. It's more or less a hand held block with spring-loaded triggers for each of your four fingers. Two of the lines also have a single bar at the bottom to exercise the thumb and palm. Prohands claims that their innovative technology provides a superior hand exercise for maximum results. The three lines of hand exercisers are known as Via, Gripmaster, and Pro. The Via line is the entry level line designed for those looking simply to improve their dexterity and overall grip. The Gripmaster line is the next step up designed for the general athlete. Prohands top-of-the-line models are sold under the Pro name and feature all of the bells and whistles designed for the serious user. Prohands Exercise ProgramsBecause Prohands hand exercisers are such unique devices in the world of fitness, the company provides illustrated exercise programs for their customers. The programs are on their website, in PDF form, where they can be freely downloaded. Users will find the instructions and illustrations to be useful in getting the most out of their Promax hand exercisers. If you are experienced in the gym, and have good working knowledge about hand exercises, you can probably get by without downloading these workout programs. Prohands Product ReviewsNothing is better in the fitness equipment industry than product reviews published through mainstream outlets. Prohands has an impressive list of such reviews having appeared in Golf Digest, Golf Fitness Magazine, Tennis Magazine, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and many more. Not only that, but the wide range of consumers will simply blow your mind. Everything from professional guitar players to athletes to construction workers are using Prohands hand exercisers. There's even a positive review from a professional magician! While it's possible that some of the individual reviewers were paid for their work, it's undeniable that the vast majority of these reviews have nothing but good things to say about Prohands. Keep in mind, the reviews are dealing strictly with the product itself and how well it works. None of the reviews mentions whether or not Prohands or Accu-Net are easy to do business with. Then again, as long as the device does what they claim it does, that's all that really matters. Prohands Shopping and PricingYou cannot purchase Prohands products directly from the Accu-Net website. However, the site does include a complete listing of both traditional and online retailers. In terms of the online ones, the site lists several dozen to choose from; some of the names you'll recognize easily. For a traditional retailer near you, the site provides a store locator that works either by entering a ZIP code or selecting a state/province from a drop-down menu. Surprisingly, entering my ZIP code revealed nine different retail outlets within reasonable driving distance of where I live. The Prohands pricing structure is extremely reasonable when you consider how expensive gym equipment can be. There are Via line sells for about $12, the Gripmasters for about $15, and the Pro series for roughly $23. With Prohands you certainly won't spend a lot of money to get a decent hand exerciser.
