The Exer-Genie was invented in 1961. It was derived from a variable rope friction device known as the Sky-Genie to help lower people from burning buildings. Then the Exer-Genie was developed to help the American Space Program with “Fitness in Space.” It’s unique resistance apparatus allows for many different workouts including working out in zero gravity. After Vince Lombardi, head coach of the Green Bay Packers, used the Exer-Genie to train his football team many professional teams in the NBA, NHL, and NFL used Exer-Genie for the past 50 years to improve their workout regime.
