KAATSU Training in Lake County, IL
Low impact. High results. Discover the power of blood flow restriction training.
“KAATSU helps you build strength without stressing your joints. It’s ideal for recovery, precision, and results - and it’s custom-fitted for you.”
What Is KAATSU?
KAATSU is a form of blood flow restriction (BFR) training that uses specialised bands to safely reduce blood flow to the limbs. This allows you to achieve the same strength and hypertrophy benefits as heavier lifting - but with much lighter loads.
Originally developed in Japan for rehab and recovery, it’s now used by pro athletes, busy adults, and anyone looking to maximise gains with minimal joint strain.
Why Use KAATSU?
Muscle Gains with Light Loads
Stimulate growth without heavy lifting - perfect for recovery phases or joint-sensitive clients.
Joint-Friendly Conditioning
Minimise wear and tear on your knees, shoulders, and elbows while still getting results.
Safe & Backed by Science
Used by the U.S. military, Olympians, and medical clinics worldwide. We use the official KAATSU system and certified protocols.
Is KAATSU Right for You?
- If you're recovering from injury or surgery
