I love ViPR, its tough training but once you get into a routine its addictive and you can really see the results!

Here's a bit about the vipr
I've never used a vipr (I had to look it up ). It seems like it would be a fun toy to play with. It could be a little hard to get a group as the size means a storage issue & people need different weights, so you'd need a bit of space to store them. The style of training isn't really an area I work in, I know a few trainers who work in a more 'weighted aerobic' style who might find these a useful addition, but the price is quite high (here in the UK you'd be talk over £200 for 20Kg tube). I pay a lot for 'specialist barbells' so I can see if this was something you're serious about the outlay would be worth it. I think it work better if you had a fairly narrow range of strength with your clients, say women wanting to get super thin for example, then you could buy less viprs & fit them into a circuit or similar where you'd get the benefit but not the expense of a whole pile or viprs you'd have to buy to cover a wider range of clients. They're not a tool I'd use personally as I'm much more focus on the the big barbell lifts than this method of training, but I can see it being fun if you like that sort of thing.
