Boost Recovery and Strength with Flywheel Training!
Transform rehab with flywheel training! This dynamic, joint-friendly technology adapts to each patient’s effort, boosting eccentric strength, neuromuscular control, and functional recovery. Compact and versatile, it accelerates progress, reduces re-injury risk, and delivers results that set your practice apart.
Flywheel resistance in your office
Adaptive Resistance for All Patients
Flywheel machines provide a unique form of resistance that adjusts dynamically to each patient’s force output. This means whether your patient is in the early stages of recovery or working on high-level functional training, the resistance matches their capability in real-time. It eliminates the need for multiple machines or weight adjustments, making it a versatile tool for any rehabilitation stage.
Eccentric Strength for Faster Recovery
Eccentric training, or focusing on the lengthening phase of muscle contraction, is proven to be critical for tissue repair, tendon health, and injury prevention. Flywheel machines naturally provide controlled eccentric overload, helping patients rebuild strength more efficiently. This approach reduces the risk of future injuries and accelerates recovery by targeting key aspects of muscular and tendon rehabilitation.
Low-Impact, High-Effectiveness Training
Flywheel machines deliver excellent muscle activation without the stress and impact associated with traditional weight training. By eliminating abrupt stops and controlling resistance dynamically, they’re ideal for patients with joint pain, arthritis, or those recovering from surgeries. This joint-friendly approach allows therapists to focus on improving strength and function without compromising patient comfort or safety.
Enhances Patient Engagement and Outcomes
Flywheel training introduces a modern, interactive element to rehab sessions, keeping patients engaged and motivated. The immediate feedback and versatility of the machine allow patients to see and feel their progress in real-time, fostering a sense of accomplishment. This increased engagement improves adherence to rehabilitation programs, leading to better overall outcomes and satisfaction with their recovery journey.

Use the top range force equivalence for each flywheel below as a reference when selecting flywheels.
- XS (15 lbs)
- S (30 lbs)
- M (60 lbs)
- L (120 lbs)
- XL (250 lbs)
Actual resistance is created by the user and will be variable based on the velocity of your movements. However these values can be used as a guide to help select the range of flywheels necessary for your strengthening goals.
*Note: There is an additive effect when loading multiple flywheels on the machine at once. This can be used to tune resistance to match a desired movement velocity.
Kratos ships its products in packages of varying weights and dimensions. Please review the images here to know what size and weight of packages to expect.
Evaluate your space
- Measure length width and height of your strengthening space
- Ensure that you have a suitable structure for mounting vertical tubes when applicable
- Check the overall package dimensions to ensure you can get them through doorways, up stairs or in elevators
- Check and see what application specific materials you might need for your situation that are not provided.
Select the product option that meets the requirements for your plan and space.
Select the right accessories
- Purchase or acquire the accessories needed to perform the movements stated in your plan. Accessories can be purchased in product packages or A la carte
- Ensure that the wheels selected are appropriate for the movements in your plan
Purchase and begin preparation for arrival
- Select a payment option that work for you
