About Exxentric

Exxentric, founded in 2011, is a strength equipment manufacturer specializing in flywheel training equipment that works without gravity. These flywheel devices are designed to efficiently store kinetic energy and resist changes in rotational speed, and are often used to provide continuous power output. It was used in the 1980’s to help astronauts avoid muscle atrophy and bone loss in space, and over time it has been incorporated into resistance training.

The background of Exxentric

The founders of Exxentric, Fredrik Correa and Mårten Fredriksson, both used to work at an elite ice hockey club training junior players when they first met. They were both dealing with the same problem: the majority of their time was focused on teaching their players how to lift rather than improving their performance. Their frustration circled around the limitations that using free weights came with, as they were limited with how much load they could put on these talented athletes due to lack of technique.

This frustration combined with their discovery of flywheel training ultimately led to the creation of Exxentric. They decided to create a multi-exercise device that could be used for strength training, rehabilitation, injury prevention, general fitness, and much more. Using a flywheel device, instead of free weights, provides the user with variable and unlimited resistance while also offering them a safe and convenient way to achieve an eccentric overload.

The background of Exxentric

Today Exxentric’s product lines include the kBox4, the kPulley2 and the LegExx. With each of their flywheel devices, you work against the inertia of heavy steel flywheels, instead of lifting weights against gravity. The kBox4 is designed for horizontal movements and is renowned for its ability to safely and efficiently overload the eccentric portion of movement in regular training as well as its variable and unlimited resistance, both backed by growing scientific support. Their kPulley2 is the ideal solution for horizontal exercises based on the same, scientifically proven flywheel technology as the kBox4. The LegExx is their first single-exercise flywheel training device intended for seated leg extension training.

They also have numerous accessories, including their kMeter feedback system, developed to accurately monitor power and energy output as well as estimate force production during flywheel training on all of their devices. Their kMeter is used in combination with their kMeter App, which is designed to track data and progress over time. “Given that we have pretty high order values, I think it’s important for us. That’s probably the same for many other fitness equipment vendors. You need options for the customer to find the right financing.” Johan Larsson, Head of Ecommerce and Marketing
