“Twist Sport Conditioning has earned a global reputation and industry accolades over the last 13 years for creating new exercise IP, innovative drills and training methods, and replicable teaching systems that advance how we challenge, overload and improve the human machine to increase performance in life and sport” explained Peter Twist, President and CEO. With our ability to communicate these systems with inspiration, motivation, and a keen following of advocates and certified trainers and coaches, we have had the opportunity to change how athletes and fitness participants train, and created many friends, followers, and alliances around the world . It has permitted us to bring to Canada, extremely valuable product partnerships for premium brands for whom we’ve worked tirelessly over the past 13 years to introduce and deliver these products to market, drive product interest through our education paradigm, and help these manufacturers make a positive impact with their unique tools ”.

“In order for Twist Sport Conditioning to best leverage and focus on our core competencies of creating and distributing fitness, performance and new lifestyle education, we needed to point our team’s compass to where we are most passionate. To achieve this goal, we currently recognize the need to funnel our resources into expanding the utility for top brands like Bosu, TRX and Trigger Point by investing time, people, and resources into developing and introducing new training methods to the market. Given we have been managing wide‐scoped operations for product invention, distribution, education, both live and digital, certifications, athlete training services, Franchise Sport Conditioning Centres, and sport consulting and marketing, while managing an exponential increase in interest for Twist education, at this stage of our company we have hit a threshold in our ability to deliver timely product fulfillment. From my perspective, this needed improvement and we needed to invest in maturing our product supply chain and back end. This is now achieved in our formal relationship with 360 Athletics, who have a strong commitment to customer service, inventory availability and supply logistics in Canada with focus on the back end to manage the flow of products and improve the customer experience. This sets us up as partners to handle ongoing growth and exciting demand together.”
