Eccentric Fitness Technology
Emerging from research at AUT University, our ground-breaking advanced eccentric strength technology into an accessible, user-friendly consumer priced solution that brings “strength made easy” to everyone. Originally developed for elite athletic training, our technology has been refined over the last three years into a versatile, low-effort approach to strength training that is suitable for all fitness levels-including older adults (85+) and those focused on rehabilitation or chronic disease management.
With rapid strength-building benefits and low exertion. it integrates smoothly into daily routines and can adapt to diverse settings. Given the rising rates of chronic diseases, sedentary habits and aging demographics, our technology offers a safe and effective solution to enhance both physical and mental health.

How it Works?
Making fitness easy and effective. Our recumbent cycle works the lower body by using a motor to push back at you, creating the necessary resistance to challenge your muscles without excessive strain.
It is quick and convenient and requires no special preparation. You can even exercise in your everyday clothes. This makes strength-building accessible for everyone, especially those new to fitness for a low-intensity yet impactful workout.
Featuring an adjustable seat that allows you to customise the distance between you and the pedals, ensuring optimal comfort and enhancing the effectiveness of your lower body workout.
The screen displays your vital stats and provides a live view of your workout session, including metrics such as power, work done, duration and leg asymmetry-highlighting the power output of your left and right legs.
Eccentric Fitness Technology is equipped with fail-safe functionality that automatically stops the machine when your leg is lifted off the pedals, ensuring enhanced safety- especially for elderly users and those with limited mobility.
We Believe in Health, Movement and Fitness
Skeletal Muscle Mass
As we age, skeletal muscle mass decreases, contributing to reduced mobility, metabolic decline, mental health challenges, and a higher risk of falls.

Skeletal muscle mass is essential for maintaining strength, mobility, and overall functional independence, especially as we age. It plays a critical role in supporting metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. Additionally, skeletal muscle protects joints, enhances posture, and reduces the risk of injuries by stabilizing the body during movement. Maintaining muscle mass also helps prevent sarcopenia and frailty, ensuring a higher quality of life and reducing dependence on caregivers or medical interventions.
Fast-Twitch Muscle
Fast-twitch muscle fibres, essential for strength and quick movement are key to maintaining physical function and metabolic health.

Fast-twitch muscle fibres are essential as we age because they generate the quick, powerful movements needed for activities like rising from a chair, climbing stairs, or preventing falls. Preserving these fibres helps maintain functional independence, prevent frailty, and support daily tasks and recreational activities. They also play a key role in metabolic health, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. Regular high-intensity resistance or eccentric exercise can effectively maintain fast-twitch fibres, ensuring strength, agility, and quality of life as we age.
Strength made Easy eccentric exercise is highly effective for strengthening leg muscles because it enables them to handle heavier loads, leading to increased muscle mass and strength. It enhances balance and stability by targeting the muscles that support knee and hip joints, reducing the risk of falls and joint injuries. This type of exercise also improves flexibility and control, essential for daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and standing from a seated position. Additionally, eccentric training for the legs is particularly beneficial for injury prevention and rehabilitation, as it strengthens tendons and improves overall lower-body functionality.
