Excy Announces New Exercise Equipment Rental Program to Make Therapeutic Cycling More Accessible for Prehab, Rehab, and Post Rehab
New month-to-month and rent-to-own programs help make the world's highest quality full-body portable exercise bike more affordable for those with medical fitness needs.
SEATTLE, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Excy (http://www.excy.com), the leader in quality portable full-body cycling equipment, today announced it will provide month-to-month and rent-to-own programs to make its high-end exercise equipment more accessible.
The Excy portable exercise bike integrates thousands of dollars of upper and lower body cycling equipment into a single compact device that is used by hospitals, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and consumers. Excy's patented device adjusts easily to become a gym quality recumbent exercise bike, upper body ergometer, step cycle, bed pedal exerciser, and range of motion trainer. Excy also provides a free mobile coaching application for Android and iOS with live, on-demand, and guided training from physical therapists. Rental fees vary based on the model and terms selected. Products can be returned and payments stopped at any time.
"We've been using Excy in our physical therapy clinics for nearly two years and love the versatility. We can easily set Excy up on a table and use it as an upper body ergometer or have a patient remain sitting to use it as a recumbent bicycle," said Julie Vanni, PT, DPT with Biojunction Sports Therapy in Seattle. "Excy equipment's size and portability make it perfect for our clinics that aren't able to have a full gym's worth of cardio or strengthening equipment. Excy provides us with one compact device that's great for cardiovascular work, range of motion, and strengthening. We've been able to use Excy with anyone from our young athletes to our elderly patients. I'm excited about the new rental programs for PTs and patients and hope people take advantage of Excy's size and versatility to help produce better outcomes. Patients with access to Excy will have greater continuity of care between the clinic and home."
Excy's Unique Patented Approach Unmatched in Quality and Versatility
The Excy portable full-body cycling device turns any chair into a quality recumbent exercise bike, tones and sculpts arms with versatile upper body ergometer positions, and strengthens legs with floor, desk, bed, and step cycling. Weighing just 14 pounds, all Excy portable exercise bikes are capable of light to athletic performance levels for cardio, strength training, balance, flexibility, and range of motion exercises. Quiet, bi-directional resistance with a range of 2-70 pounds allows you to pedal arms or legs with light or heavy forces while sitting, standing, kneeling, or lying down. The company offers 30 on-demand training videos in its free app from physical therapists, as well as guided interval clocks to help keep people motivated.
Consistent Access to Medical Fitness Drives Demand for Excy's Rental Programs
The founding story of Excy starts with Michele Mehl, a busy mom and technology-marketing professional who broke her leg and got a blood clot. Her story has resonated with others battling temporary injuries and is the primary driver of the rent-to-own program. Like Mehl, those recovering from a lower extremity injury or surgery are turning to Excy for arm bike workouts while having non-weight bearing exercise restrictions. As restrictions are removed and weight-bearing exercises are allowed, they are then coordinating their lower extremity rehabilitation on Excy with their physical therapists. Rent-to-own programs are in response to Excy customers living with longer-term disabilities, chronic conditions, and injuries like Parkinson's disease, MS, arthritis, heart disease, POTS and more. Since Excy is portable, the device is easy for people to coordinate with their physical therapist, doctor, or personal trainer specializing in medical fitness to create custom therapeutic cycling exercise experiences for home, work, and while traveling to achieve successful health outcomes.
"I love that Excy is small enough to fold up and fit in my closet, yet performs better than the recumbent bike that turned into a dust collector and couldn't be used after having stroke complications from postpartum heart failure," said Excy customer Kristy who lives in Redmond, WA. Kristy got a new heart in July and is supported with home physical therapy and occupational therapy services offered by Evergreen Health in Kirkland, WA. "With Excy, I can pedal it as a recumbent bike from my wheelchair under the supervision of my home physical therapists. But what's even cooler is that I can use the same device with my home occupational therapists as we work on rehabilitating my partially paralyzed arm. Excy is playing a critical role in my home rehabilitation as I work hard to be the best, healthiest, and most independent person I can be."
