Compare Exercise Pro with our competitors:

OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS:

  • Many programs look attractive at the start.  When you compare the price of their program with equal content to our software, you will find you will save hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
  • Based on cost per exercise our software is the best value.
  • Some sell and require extra hardware to be plugged into your computer. One company charges $99 for this hardware just so you can have the privilege of purchasing their exercise libraries.  Do not be fooled - this "program module" does not include any exercises.
  • None have search by muscles or muscle groups or a name search component.
  • Only Exercise Pro has a picture editor.
  • None have full page education handouts.
  • Most do not have password protection.
  • Many program won't let you add exercises or make text changes.
  • Most have less content and  outdated exercise libraries.
  • Several do not print in Spanish. Or they may charge extra for the additional language.
  • Most do not have pediatrics.
  • Not all work on a network.  If you are considering a network click here before purchase any other software.

Information compiled as accurately as possible from each manufacturer's literature as of 1/1/05 and may be subject to change.
* Based on independent clinician subjective feedback.
** Based on purchase of "optional" libraries. Physio Tools and VHI have redundant exercises or libraries meaning you pay two to three times for the same exercise. Divide VHI counts by 1/3, Physiotools by 3, for a more accurate count.  Exercise Pro does not "double count" exercises.
*** Based on purchase of "optional" libraries and Spanish language option if available.

This is just a short list contact us by phone (800-750-2756) or email for more information.

Network Pricing:

Exercise Pro is $1150 for a 5 concurrent user network (Server/Workstation Systems).  Exercise Pro may be installed on as many workstations as you desire.  Up to 5 people at any time may be using the program.  Additional licenses are only $175 each.

Now consider if you are to buy the equivalent system from VHI you would have to buy each exercise library for each concurrent license.  In addition you have to buy a hardware key, which provides no functionality to you, for $249.  If you bought all of the equivalent exercise libraries from VHI to match Exercise Pro for a 5 user network it would cost $7,756.45.  Exercise Pro costs $1150. 

An additional license for VHI would cost $1,501.30.  An additional license for Exercise Pro would be only $175.

When your company grows Exercise Pro is priced to grow with you.  With pricing differences like this the choice is clear.

Web Based Applications:

A)The biggest problem is exactly their main sales pitch. You don't have to own the software. Sounds good?  
These sites either charge per program or a monthly fee. And in 2 or 3 years of paying all that money you have nothing to show for it.

Let's face it, sometimes it is just really nice to own a piece of software. Who doesn't have their own word processor? For $499 you can have Exercise Pro,  your own exercise software that prints UNLIMITED programs FOREVER. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

B) Access and download - Web based programs require high speed internet both for the Therapist and the patient. However 1 out 4 people do not even have internet access and only 2 out 5 people have high speed internet access. These programs do not meet the need for all of your patients.

Using web based video your patients are forced to exercise in front of their computer. With Exercise Pro handouts they can exercise anywhere.

C) System Integrity - Everyone is concerned about Patient Confidentiality, right? The hackers got right into the big companies like Amazon, CNN, and EBay. What is going to stop them from getting your patient's information? Do these companies conform to the new HIPPA federal requirements regarding electronic patient information?
When you own our software it is secure on your own computer, PLUS, we have Password Protection for Client Information.

D) Features - No exercise defaults, No Spanish language translations, you can't add your own exercises, searches are not intuitive, and you can't make permanent text changes. Exercise Pro will link with almost any electronic documentation system, something web based applications can not do.

E) Content - These databases do not compete with our 2700 plus exercises. Only Exercise Pro meets the needs of all of your patients.

Other considerations:

We provide free code change update patches on our web site. We do not duplicate exercises in our count. If we like an exercise proposed by you we may add it for free. If you ever have to re-install due to a computer failure or loading it on another, you do not have to wait for a new code or pay again. Exercise Pro can be used with a handheld portable unit. Free tech support by toll free number or by email or by fax.

WE HOPE THIS HAS HELPED YOU UNDERSTAND JUST A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES BY USING OUR SOFTWARE OVER OTHER SYSTEMS. WE URGE YOU TO BE AN INFORMED CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY HOME EXERCISE PROGRAMS ON THE MARKET AND ALL CLAIM TO BE THE BEST AND MOST COST EFFECTIVE. WE HAVE PROVIDED OBJECTIVE HARD FACTS, NOT CLAIMS. YOU DECIDE.
