SAFETY INFORMATION
Before you start
YoRoller is a newly designed powerful and effective device for maintaining and
increasing the physical fitness. Please follow our safety instructions in
order to avoid injuries, accidents and damages on device. The YoRoller is
designed only for fitness training of healthy persons and may not be used for
other purpose. Even if the flywheel technology is generally used and
recommended by specialist for medical purposes, please use the YoRoller only
after consulting the doctor or therapist of your trust first, respect all his
indications and note that any improper or excessive training can cause health
damages. The training is very simple and intuitive but you must start the
training slowly in order to get used to it. We recommend to train at the
beginning together with a physician, or a personal trainer who could recommend
you a simple, tailor made training or at least together with a partner who can
survey and support you. The device is not a toy and may only be operated by
persons over 16 years old. Children may use it only in the presence of adults.
Before you train
- Check the stability of the support – which must be designed for a load of more than 350 kg – before fixing the Power Unit on it. Check that the Power Unit is correctly and firmly installed on the stable support and that the security side covers are closed. Start the training and increase the intensity always slowly.
- Check from time to time the coupling between the grip and the pulling strap.
- Check degree of wear and eventual damages of the pulling strap like frays and deformations at its contact edge with the shaft mounted into the Power Unit, before every training. It is a wearing part and if it brakes instantly, you could lose your balance, fall down and get injured. Read the further instructions about how to replace or repair a damaged element.
- Generally, check the condition of all straps and any accessories and components. They may not be frayed, deformed torn or broken! Damaged components must be immediately repaired or replaced with original YoRoller parts in order to be able to train safely.
The Training
The training with YoRoller is based on flywheel technology and the device
works like a reverse YoYo, fixed on a stable support. After a strong traction
of the pulling strap which is wound on the shaft inside of the Power Unit the
disks will be accelerated and store kinetic energy. After the full unwinding
of the pulling strap, it will begin to wind back and you will be pulled back
instantly with the same force you have invested to rotate the discs. Before
and during the training, make sure that you have enough space to exercise in
an area at least 1 m longer than the length of the unwound pulling strap. Make
sure that there are no objects that could hinder your movements and put on
clothing conforming tightly to the body. Make sure that around you, even
outside of your training space, there are no edged or sharp objects that could
hurt you if you were to lose your balance or your contact with the grip. Start
slowly and make a short test exercise with the full load. Keep all the straps
clean and avoid any contact with fat or oily substances with the straps, the
Power Unit, the accessories and especially the hand grip.
For maintenance, only use the procedures and the tooling described in the
manual.
AD Kinetics GmbH is not responsible for any damage to the machine and its
parts if you don‘t follow them!
We designed the YoRoller to be very safe. You cannot be harmed by heavy and
hard dumb belts or other training objects, that could fall on your foots or
crush your hands or your chest!
Despite that, you should follow some rules in order to ensure the maximum
security during the training.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
- Check the condition of the pulling strap before each workout and shorten or replace it if worn.
- Be sure to have enough space behind you in case you fall back
- Check your condition by the physician of your trust before you train
- First warm-up before any training
- Don’t let the pulling strap to wind until its end and don’t come too near to the Power Unit with your handgrip
- Don’t drink or eat during the training
- During training, wear loose, possibly elastic clothing that fits snugly to the body
- Don’t wear sunglasses when you train indoor
- don’t train and drive
- YoRoller is not a toy and not suitable for children under 16 years of age. Younger children should only exercise under adult supervision
- Training in a stationary or moving car, bus, train, subway, bus, ship or plane is possible, but we expressly do not recommend it. If you do decide to do it, first ask the operators for permission and understand that you do it at your own risk. Make sure you can keep your balance, have enough space around and especially behind you, and obey all house rules.
- Despite taking special care, we cannot imagine all situations where users could injure themselves or those around them or cause property damage, and therefore we advise you to use your common sense during the using of our range of products with consideration for yourself and those around you.
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation!

HOW IT WORKS
(short description)
YoRoller is a unique development in sports and physiotherapy.
Instead of using traditional weights, you train with flywheels, rotating
disks, ignoring gravity. In the concentric phase, which is common for most
other current training methods, the flywheels will be accelerated by pulling
the training strap, which is initially wound onto a shaft placed inside the
Power Unit, and store kinetic energy. Once the training strap is fully
unwound, it will begin to wind back up onto the same shaft but in the opposite
direction and you will be pulled back instantly with the same force you have
invested to rotate the discs initially.
The training consists of bringing the discs into rotation with a concentric
movement, then to stop them with an eccentric movement – which is not common
for traditional training – and repeat that cycle.
The training energy you initially invest to accelerate the disks is the same
you must use to slow them down and its intensity depends only on your mood and
your condition.
- YoRoller – the absolute novelty is the first modulary built, compact, light and for wide target groups affordable training device in the flywheel training industry. It can be versatilely mounted on stable trees, columns, walls or door frames. Training is even possible without fixing it, if you work out together with a training partner.
Training follows cycles of two phases:
- Phase 1 – Concentric movement: by pulling the training strap the flywheels inside the Power Unit are accelerated and store Kinetic Energy until the training strap will be fully unwound and then reverses and starts to wind up again in the opposite direction (like a reverse Yo-Yo). With that begins
- Phase 2 – Eccentric movement: when the training strap will pull you back, you instinctively try to brake the pull until a standstill.
Then a new cycle begins with a concentric movement.
- With YoRoller you can even train with a higher eccentric load than invested in the concentric phase, if you accelerate slowly and brake with the maximum, fastest effort. It results in a high stimulus of the muscles that is extremely difficult to achieve by other means.
- You should start your first training slowly. As soon as you get used to this movement cycles, you will be able to increase intuitively and steplessly the training intensity, depending on your individual physical condition and the purpose of your training. The bigger the force exerted during unwinding the training strap, the bigger the eccentric resistance when it is pulled back.
- Unlike weight training, your muscles are under a high, stepless variable stress, but they also have a “relaxing phase”, during the time period between the concentric and eccentric phase! This unique “relaxing phase” is even steplessly adjustable and it increases the efficiency of your workout.
- The unique adjustability of the training energy and the relaxing phases during the flywheel training, makes it perfect for many purposes, like for increasing the physical performance of top athletes in any sports, for general fitness and individual training and for rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
- The YoRoller most usual components: the Power Module, the Universal Adapter, the unique Grip with special coupling, the Pulling Strap, one Ankle Loop, a 1 m long Mounting Strap with ratchet and one Social Media Adapter, are placed in a unique, practical EPP case, wherein the grip of the device serves as the handle of the case.
- This “kit” is necessary and sufficient to train the most important muscles anytime any anywhere, indoor and outdoor. Many other Accessories complete the product range and extend the applications.
- YoRoller enables training with a steplessly adjustable energy from 0 to more than 100 kg.
- Pulling strap: 250 cm long
- Length x width x height of the EPP case: 50 x 42 x 12 cm
