FAQ

What is the training space needed for the unit and mat?
The Nimbus only requires a54 Square metre minimum training area. That’s only 6m by 9m

The highest part of the nimbus is the cargo net which stands at about 2.75m and needs a minimum of 2.8m clearance
How many people can use it?
16 people on the nimbus and 16 doing rotations. Groups of 32 are good with area around it
Can adults use it?
For sure! It is adjustable and built heavy duty for adults, and youths ages 5 - 18
Can it go outdoors?
Yes. It’s coated with a specially designed paint just for that purpose, but we recommend it be placed under a covering like a tent, canopy or pavilion
Does it come with programming?
Yes. A Basic Training Manual and Product Demo CD set developed by Brian Grasso, director of the IYCA comes with every unit.
Is there further training available and /or certifications available to train youth?
Yes. The IYCA can provide that for you. Contact them at: www.iyca.org
Does it come with bands, balls, free weights and other accessories?
No. These are purchased separately. We can supply most of the items. Free weights are best bought locally.
Is there a business opportunity that uses the NIMBUS as well?
Yes. The IYCA has a complete youth training “Business –in-a-Box” that can also be purchased. It has been tested and proven to be a tremendous revenue generator.
Couple this with Adult Boot Camps that can also be run on the unit and it provides a double revenue stream for two different times of day. Adults in the AM. Youth in the day.
Why does the mat cost so much?
This is a custom made safety and Training Mat made my one of the top mat companies in the world. It was engineered and designed to attach to the bottom of the cargo net area, is 20cm thick for extra-safety and uses a moderately soft foam cushioning for multiple uses, is large enough to be used for other drills and has 3 beveled sides to prevent ankle sprains from running children. (Research shows this is a problem with children, and the beveled edges greatly reduces the risk over that of standard design.) It is easily washable and resists stains and tears
