The Resist-A-Ball Story
Mike and Stephanie Morris rolled out their Resist-A-Ball program to the fitness industry at the World IDEA Conference in New Orleans in 1993.
Just one year prior to the conference, Mike learned about the stability ball while attending a personal training certification course led by Tom Purvis, a physical therapist and former head trainer for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Mike returned home excited about working with this new exercise ball, but quickly realized that little information was available for stability ball training in the fitness industry. With Mike's expertise in strength training and Stephanie's background in dance exercise and choreography, they introduced the stability balls into their personal training and group exercise workouts. After establishing its popularity and effectiveness with the public, the first educational manual for Resist-A-Ball training was written. Today Resist-A-Ball education and training products can be found in many health clubs and homes throughout the world.
Resist-A-Ball Education now has joined forces with Power Systems, Inc., one of the most highly respected and successful fitness product distribution companies in the world. Power Systems will manage all Resist-A-Ball workshops and the distribution of Resist-A-Ball products. This partnership will allow Mike and Stephanie the opportunity to devote their time and passion toward fitness education and program development.
