But, are you Know OYO?

This company was founded by Paul Francis, the same guy who invented SpiraFlex OYO, or “On (more on that in a minute). After much success with this new resistance technology, into portable fitness equipment. The portable fitness equipment

And they all rely on SpiraFlex Technology. They are all designed for on-the-go fitness, making the need for bulky free weights and machines unnecessary.
They’ve taken the portable exercise idea and real exercise it.OYO has partnered up with different companies to provide their worker's fitness breaks at their desks- a brilliant idea. Not only is it great marketing for their products, but it might help folks stuck in the office get some much-needed exercise.
OYO’s Personal Gyms are also being found in group exercise classes like Pilates, Yoga, and spin classes.
But what makes these products stand out from the rest of the pack? That would be the SpiraFlex Discs.

What Is SpiraFlex?

SpiraFlex is what provides the resistance for the OYO devices (the original Double flex and the OYO Personal Gym). I first came across this technology when I was reviewing the Bowflex Revolution, which I believe was the first home fitness machine to use it.
Paul Francis licensed the tech to Nautilus, Inc and helped them develop the Revolution, which has been a big success.
Francis came up with the idea to help astronauts stay fit in space. If you think about it, it’s tough to work out when you don’t have gravity pulling you down. Lifting weights don’t work. Our good old’ fashioned body weight exercises like push-ups pull-ups, and squats don’t work either (because you are weightless in space).
To overcome this hurdle, Francis designed resistance that isn’t dependent on gravity- enter SpiraFlex.
SpiraFlex comes in the shape of lightweight discs. Inside the discs, are a series of stretchy bands (similar to resistance bands, but more durable material). As the disc rotates, it stretches the bands and provides resistance. Unlike a typical resistance band that offers variable resistance (more resistance the farther they stretch it), we design SpiraFlex discs to provide a more constant resistance that feels more enjoy lifting free weights.
Turns out they worked. The astronauts in the International Space Station have been using this technology for a decade to help maintain muscle and bone mass while working in a zero-gravity environment.
Back here on Earth though, these discs also have added benefits. SpiraFlex discs are lightweight and small, which means they don’t take up much space. 25 lb of SpiraFlex resistance only weighs like 2 lb- this makes it the perfect tech to use for portable exercise equipment.
And with a feel that mimics free weights, it can work as a nice alternative for folks who don’t like the feel of resistance bands.
So far I like what I’m seeing- we have a company based solely around a technology that is NASA tested and approved. Now let’s see exactly what we get to the OYO Personal Gym.


All in the box       


When you open the OYO Fitness box, the inside cover reveals a quick start guide describing how to attach the flex-packs

• 1 x OYO Personal Gym LE
• 1 x Door Attachment
• 3 x Flexpacks
• 2 x Leg Attachments
• 1 x Product Guide

The picture below shows the OYO Fitness facility with two flex-packs hooked up. The primary flex-pack should be a 10lb resistance pack and a complete of three flex-packs include the athletic facility. OYO Fitness doesn't sell further flex-packs on an individual basis. You'll additionally see that within the second image below, the athletic facility often folds into a really transportable package.



When I opened the OYO Fitness gymnasium box, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of each component and the compact size. The instructions are clear and you can get started right away. Adding and removing the Flexpacks to regulate the resistance is kind of straightforward and also the basic exercises will all be performed with just the OYO and the Flexpacks. OYO includes straps that permit you to connect the gymnasium to a door or any such structure to accomplish pulley-block kind exercises that you just would ordinarily do with a bigger gym system. At first, I used to be skeptical regarding whether or not or not this compact device may really give enough resistance to even build most folk break a sweat, however, I presently revealed that it's quite capable of doing this and really versatile. It provides American state a full exercising and may be employed by the enthusiast, the occasional traveler, or the fitness fanatic.



After that I have got the following:

Personal Gym LE (obviously)
1 ‘5 lb’ SpiraFlex disc
2 ’10 lb’ SpiraFlex discs
1 door anchor
2-foot attachments
Nutrition guide
Exercise wall chart
You can also download the free OYO coaching app IOS Here 
And you can also Watch this comprehensive guide to using OYO Personal Gym the free workout videos online. OYO even designed a 10-week challenge you can access if you want to perform the guided workouts Here.

I think this is a fairly generous package for the price. Speaking of price, for an additional $50 you can upgrade to the OYO Gym Pro, which includes integrated sensors that allow you to connect directly to the app- helps you count reps and track calories, etc.

But for me the LE and PRO versions are the exact same physical product: they look identical from the outside and each come with 25lbs of resistance. The PRO model has integrated sensors and bluetooth technology which allows the device to pair with the OYO Coaching App for iOS (Apple devices only for now). With this connection, the Coaching App will count reps and provide real-time pacing coaching so that you know you're getting the full range of motion and have the right pace

In any case, I was practice exercises four or five times a week. I do fast walking for about 4 kilometers, followed by 35-50 sit-ups, 15-20 pushups, 35 leg-raises and, 15 angled and partial pull-ups (feet on the ground), 35-40 full squats. I've been doing this for decades. When I was younger I also used a Bullworker but I felt the isometric exercises were not good for one's circulatory system. I also did strength training at the gym with exercise machines in my 40s to 60s and ended up training at home with rubber bands, but stopped because I have high blood pressure and the progressive resistance of the bands was either too light at the start or too heavy at the end of each exercise.

Well, the OYO personal Gym, with its lightweight and adjustable linear resistance suits me just fine. I discovered that it is not so much of a device for doing very heavy low repetition power building exercises but more of a device designed for high repetition interval training. You can almost do all of the various exercises non-stop and even 15 lbs of the available 25 lbs of resistance are enough to give me a good workout and build up quite a sweat, especially if the various exercise sessions on the DVD or online at here. Starting out I have been combining two Fast Five-minute Workouts (Arms+Shoulders and the Chest+Back), for a really good 10-minute workout almost every day.

All in all, the OYO Personal Gym is perfect for what I want to do and that is to keep my muscles toned without overdoing it which could be dangerous at my age. It is a quality device made of a very high-grade plastic material and backed by a first class company with great support. Some reviewers expressed that they were not satisfied because it is made of 'plastic'. I guess they expected a heavy duty iron device which would defeat the purpose of the OYO Personal Gym. If the OYO Personal Gym were heavy it would be almost impossible to do many of the very beneficial exercises that are possible with this lightweight but very well made device.
