STREXBOX vs other flywheel producers
The main difference is that other flywheel producers have a vertical built in flywheel and we have a horizontal built in flywheel which we have US patented. Horizontal flywheel leads to more safety, larger movement area, device is easier to store, on the production side for us less material costs and less shipping costs which leads to a price advantage. Disadvantage of the horizontal flywheel: you have the flip the box to exchange the flywheels (if you change the flywheels often that may be important, if you don’t change it often above mentioned advantages outweigh this disadvantage from our perspective).
What is the difference between STREXBOX Home, Physical Therapy, Studio and PRO?
STREXBOX Home Set: Small Full Metal Box 60 x 40 x 10 cm = 24 x 16 x 4 inches, can carry up to 3pcs of L and XL inertia plates. Perfect for first time flywheel users who are looking for a competitive price as well as a portable and easy to store device.
STREXBOX Physical Therapy Set: Only available for selected countries within the European Union. Large Full Metal Box 90 x 55 x 10 cm = 35 x 22 x 4 inches, the best choice when you look for a large standing platform at a competitive price and at the same time only need low to medium loads. It is limited to a max allowed load of 1 XL + 1 L inertia plates. 1XL + 1L is usually enough load for physical therapy.
STREXBOX Studio Set: same technology as used for the STREXBOX Home, but with a large standing platform 90 x 55 x 10 cm = 35 x 22 x 4 inches. Perfect for you when you need more space for sumo squats etc. Includes more accessories that are useful for professional studio clients, such as extension belts and bar for additional upper body workouts and more inertia plates for greater load variation. This device is able to fit a heel-up-and-lateral-squat-block due to it large standing platform.
STREXBOX PRO Set: same box as the STREXBOX Studio, but with additional tools which are essential for sport and conditioning coaches such as the Powermeter Force Sensor to measure the athlete´s performance and track progress. Size adjustable Pro Harness with detachable hip belt included which offers the most comfortable and effective workout gear for squats.
Should I buy a Box or Tower?
Box: best for squats and all exercises where you pull vertically
Tower: best for core, upper body. Basically if you want to perform other exercises then squats frequently the wall-mounted STREXBOX Tower is the best choice.
What is the max force I can achieve?
The resistance created depends on 2 factors:
- Amount and size of inertia plates
- Pulling speed, the faster you pull the more resistance
When an inertia plate says 0-60kg/0-132lbs, is that 60kg/132lbs of resistance?
Yes, that means you can achieve a max of 60kg/132lbs when you pull fast (with explosive squats for example to train jump height). The average force is below this value, usually around 30-50%.
That means when you squat with traditional weights 130kg/285lbs with 1 repetition maximum, you should look for an inertia plate load of around 260kg/570lbs, double the traditional weight load.
Therefore most people prefer 2pcs XL plates (2x120kg=240kg -> 2x260lbs=520lbs) for slow to medium pulling speed squats. If you want to do explosive squats, you usually reduce to 1XL or 1XL + 1 L plate, as the resistance of a flywheel device increases the faster you pull.

Yes, I would love to get a STREXBOX Flywheel Training Equipment:
No, I need more info:
No, I have a question:
No, this is probably not for me, because I am already at the best performance level of my life and do eccentric overload workouts everyday – okay fair enough.
