Early bird pledges are available from $499 or roughly £394 offering a considerable discount off the recommended retail price of $848. After the successful Kickstarter closes, worldwide shipping is expected to commence sometime around January 2020. The Handy Gym works in conjunction with a smartphone application that can track your calories, cycles, time and strength. Thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity of the Handy Gym and will be available for both iOS and Android devices. Select your disk configuration in the mobile application and carry out either a single exercise or a complete workout.

Handy Gym App

Internally the Handy Gym contains two swappable inertial solid steel core discs combined with a conical pulley elliptical gear core and security clutch. Wireless connectivity allows the Handy Gym to be connected to its companion application to track your fitness levels, workouts and resistant settings. While using the Handy Gym, users can run a full body workout or select from hundreds of different exercises to work on specific muscles. Users can tailor workouts for weight loss, posture improvement, physical recovery, body strengthening, muscle toning, strength and injury prevention. Micaton explains a little more about the inspiration behind the Handy Gym.

“We believe in creating smarter devices for smarter and more effective fitness and training experiences. We also wanted to create a device that could be equally used for physical rehabilitation. After all, our CEO, Manuel Montes, who has been dealing with Parkinson’s for 11 years, was the first in our team who tried to create a device to train his mobility at home and we just knew we had to had to get together and develop a device that could be used by anyone, anywhere, at any time.”
