Why does flywheel tech work 25% better than the average workout?

Backed by science and real results, Exerfly flywheel technology will make you stronger, move faster, avoid injury and help take your performance to the next level.

Why does the flywheel work?

Why does the flywheel work?

Exerfly equipment implements Flywheel training, a method of training that generates resistance not by moving a weight against gravity as in traditional training, but by harnessing the inertia of a spinning Flywheel, and accelerating and decelerating the Flywheel at speed.

This can generate a huge amount of force, and allows athletes to train with constant resistance in both the concentric and eccentric phase. Inertial and eccentric training through the Flywheel method are scientifically supported to produce impressive results in terms of strength training and injury management.

Flywheel training vs traditional weight training

Flywheel training vs traditional weight training

With traditional weights, the resistance never changes. Take for example a bicep curl. Typically, you pull a weight from your thigh to your chest, and you feel resistance as the weight is coming up towards you.

But on the way down, you’re no longer pulling against gravity, so it feels easier to lower the weight back to your thighs. This means that the athlete misses out on training the eccentric phase of movement.

With Flywheel training, you’ll feel the resistance on the way up, and the way down. You use your force to spin the wheel, then to slow down the wheels momentum. This means that resistance is constantly adapting to your force, rep by rep.

Variable resistance

Variable resistance

Flywheel training offers many advantages over flywheel training and variable resistance may be the most important one. There is no limit to the kinetic energy you can generate with Exerfly equipment.

This means that you can always use a higher force and accelerate more. If you plateau you can the motorised technology to boast the eccentric phase. Therefore, our equipment is suitable from heavy strength training to rehabilitation as well as elite athletes to elderly.

In conclusion, the more interia added to Exefly equipment you use the force can be produced which can be recorded via the app.

Benefits of Flywheel training

  • Adapts to increasing fatigue

    Because resistance is based directly on the force of the athlete, Exerfly seamlessly adapts to increasing fatigue.

  • Rehabilitation

    Exerfly can also be used for rehabilitation and physiotherapy, as a safe way to build muscle with less risk of injury or re-injury.

  • Something for everyone

    Whether elite training or recovering from injury, Exerfly is perfect for any stage of strength training.

  • Durability

    Designed to be virtually unbreakable, all our equipment is built to last.

  • Unlimited possibilities

    Exerfly supports a huge range of motion that includes horizontal, vertical, or diagonal movements in many different combinations.

  • Maximizing efficiency

    With its compact design, Exerfly machines can fit just about anywhere, meaning you can train right from the corner of your lounge.

The effects of Eccentric vs Concentric resistance training on muscle strength and mass in healthy adults

The effects of Eccentric vs Concentric resistance training on muscle strength and mass in healthy adults

The aim of this systematic review was to determine if eccentric exercise is superior to concentric exercise in stimulating gains in muscle strength and mass.

Meta-analyses showed that when eccentric exercise was performed at higher intensities compared with concentric training, total and eccentric strength increased significantly. However, compared with concentric training, strength gains after eccentric training appeared more specific in terms of velocity and mode of contraction.

Eccentric training performed at high intensities was shown to be more effective in promoting increases in muscle mass measured as muscle girth. In addition, eccentric training also showed a trend towards increased muscle cross-sectional area.

Scientific Studies

Researchers investigated the influence of a weekly bout of inertial squat resistance exercise offering eccentric overload on lower limb muscle power and patellar tendon complaints on over 80 basketball and volleyball players of both sexes.

They found that adding a weekly eccentric overload squat training bout to a regular basketball and volleyball exercise routine enhances lower limb muscle power without triggering patellar tendon complaints.

How Exerfly works

“Having used Exerfly equipment for several months I have been delighted with the quality and functionality across able bodied and disabled groups. We have used Exerfly primarily to support muscle mass development in addition to traditional free weight modalities where muscle length and passive muscle element adaptations have been desirable for well rounded muscle volume change.”
The equipment allows for maximal intent and load application from the athlete to the muscle or movement across its range straight away, from the very first rep. It opens up several additional options or opportunities for loading and more importantly overloading the eccentric phase of a movement or muscle action. This has allowed us to tailor programming in specific ways, meeting athletes needs and preparing them more effectively for competition or subsequent training.
The portability of the Exerfly Portable is of significant note. During the pandemic it has been a lifeline when facility access has been limited or undesirable overseas. We have been able to maintain physical shape effectively from hotel rooms and Covid friendly spaces we would not have historically been able to take advantage of.
The team at Exerfly is fantastically accessible, approachable and quick to meet customer needs. The relationship has been welcomed and is valued as we look towards Paris 2024. It is an exciting time for Para-Powerlifting in the UK, and it is incredible what Exerfly equipment can add to the pursuit of maximum strength. Many thanks, Exerfly!”

Both the exerfly portable and platform products will continue to be beneficial for our basketball players. The unique resistance profile can facilitate higher impulse-oriented loading at troublesome joint angles, such as deeper ranges of flexion during squatting exercises.
Traveling with the Exerfly Portable has added immense value to our training on the road. The type of resistance provided by the flywheel is just something that is hard to mimic without the equipment itself. The Portable is extremely easy to set up and break down, and has stood up against the rigors of NBA travel.
The versatility of the Exerfly Platform is unmatched by any other piece of flywheel equipment on the market. Firstly, being able to use 1 or 2 straps is a huge advantage. Unlike other equipment with 1 strap , the Platform can be better set up for things like deadlifts with 2 separate handles or a shoulders elevated hip bridge with a straight bar. This has allowed us to utilize the flywheel stress with most of our exercises.
The Platform motor feature also has huge potential to enhance our training in our foundational exercises like squatting and hinging. Basketball players are subjected to immense forces as they move into and out of positions of ankle, knee, and hip flexion. The Platform motor can increase the speed of the spinning wheel during the eccentric portion of the exercise, facilitating higher force outputs that would be hard to mimic using any other method.
I believe the Exerfly products provide a type of stressor at an intensity that will allow us to make serious improvements in our KPIs.
We are lucky that the Exerfly company has been responsive, open minded, and eager to innovate using the feedback of coaches in the field. They are already ahead of most other companies in this particular space, and we are excited for the continued evolution!

“The sports that I work with predominantly are very measured, so physical performance is a prerequisite. Trying to develop that physicality has become somewhat of an obsession of mine, and I like to find ways of doing things better – which is why I use Exerfly.”
“The athletes I work with are speed and power athletes, so physical performance is a prerequisite. We’ve been using Exerfly for several years now, and the ability to train these high power qualities in different planes, rotationally, and in different aspects has been extremely advantageous. I’m using it because it works.”
“The ability to take Exerfly and travel with it has been something that I’ve never seen before, and there’s a lot of elite athletes around the globe now using Exerfly. And that’s a testimony to the company, that Exerfly has been flexible and has continued to develop.”
“Most of the movements we do in sports are not strength orientated, they’re power orientated. And most of that is high-velocity power. For somebody to jump high or run fast, it’s not a slow grinding strength like you might see in powerlifting – it’s elastic power and high-speed muscle power, and you can train both of these with Exerfly.”

When it comes to strength training equipment for my athletes, I am of the minimalistic camp. I really like the adjustable rack mounted flywheel from exerfly. First of all for its versatility as the adjustable height opens up many possibilities for different exercises as well as stressing different portions of the same exercise. It is also important that the flywheel comes with measuring capabilities and a simple app that tells you what amount of work is done which is not always the case with inertial equipment. I am grateful to exerfly for the quality of their product and the quick customer service they provide despite being exactly on the other side of the world from me.

I like the ability to introduce a different way of training regimen into my schedule and routine. It gives my body a different way of adapting to load and intensity. Exerfly has increased power and endurance during strength sessions and explosiveness. Exerfly equipment has been a great addition to my strength component as well as strength endurance. Full body workouts are very challenging with limitless moderation of effort. I have enjoyed a lot for the communication and introduction to Exerfly and the expertise to get the best out of the equipment.
