INTRODUCTION 

 

 

What is it?

 

The  kBox  is  a  self-contained,  compact  exercise  platform  for  various 
strength  movements.    It  is  a  flywheel  exercise  device  and  uses  the 
physics of inertia and mass acceleration (centrifugal) to provide a high 
and variable resistance in both the concentric and eccentric movements 
of the user.

 

 

 

 

 

How Does It Work?

 

The kBox has an adjustable-length strap wound around a shaft located 
beneath the platform. Different combinations of flywheels are mounted 
on the end of the shaft.  

 

 

Using  hand  grips  or  a  harness  attached  to  the  Block,  the  User  lifts  to 
accelerate  the  flywheel  and  then  resists  to  decelerate  the  flywheel  as 
the strap winds in the other direction. 

 

 

A Strap Adjustment Dial allows for quick adjustment of the strap length 
for  the  type  strength  work  desired.    An  extension  strap  is  used  for 
overhead work. A shorter strap length for squats.
