Cirrus has secured approval from more than 100 leading colleges and universities including the above and University of Alabama, University of Florida, Ohio State University, University of Michigan, University of Kentucky, among many others.
"This is an exciting time for the fitness industry as Cirrus' new lines will shake up the category and introduce color and spirit to equipment for the first time ever," said Kenny Dichter, Chairman, Cirrus Fitness. "These are ideal products for fans across the country, adding another way for them to express their love for their school. Personally, I love how my home gym now resembles the University of Wisconsin Badger's varsity gym."
Cirrus Fitness has introduced two product lines – Cirrus Performance Edition and Cirrus by Cybex. The Cirrus Performance Edition consists of exercise / yoga mats, stability balls and medicine balls for home, personal and professional use with additional products coming in 2014.
