As an athlete, does using CoreControl mean that I don't have to work as hard to achieve the same results?

CoreControl is not a magical solution that will help you increase bulk or aerobic threshold just by using it. It's a tool to help athletes or fitness enthusiasts recover quickly and do more work in a shorter amount of time. That work is still up to the athletes, who must push their limits for maximal benefit. Vigorously exercising athletes using CoreControl are regularly surprised by performing far beyond their own (and their coaches') expectations.
