Flywheel Training
Whether you're rehabbing an injury, training for everyday life, or building elite performance, flywheel resistance training adapts to your effort—giving back what you put in. It's resistance that meets you where you are and challenges you to move better, stronger, and more efficiently.
Flywheel resistance training swaps gravity for momentum. Instead of lifting weights, you spin a flywheel—and that spinning wheel pushes back. The harder and faster you move, the greater the resistance, especially in the eccentric (lengthening) phase. It’s called iso-inertial because the inertia of the wheel stays constant, but your effort changes the outcome.
You generate force to spin the wheel—activating muscle shortening like standing from a squat or deadlift.
The flywheel pulls back. You fight it, slowing the momentum and building strength as your muscles lengthen.
At the switch, you pause briefly before reversing direction—mimicking the explosive changes of direction seen in sport.
This continuous rhythm trains your body to control deceleration and acceleration in one fluid motion—just like sprinting, jumping, and cutting.
The eccentric phase—when muscles lengthen under load—is where much of the magic happens. Flywheel training naturally emphasizes this phase, helping:
Build resilience and reduce injury risk
Improve strength and muscle quality
Enhance power, control, and stability
Support effective rehab and return-to-play timelines
Whether you're a physiotherapist guiding recovery, a coach refining athletic performance, or someone who wants to move better for longer—flywheel training adapts to your goals.
