To avoid serious personal injury or damage to property, and even death, read this section
carefully before using the product to ensure proper and safe operation.
When using Handy Gym™, follow all recommendations for use and pay particular attention
to the warnings and risks set out below.
a) Never touch the discs when they are moving. On the sides of the main unit, next to each
disc, you will see a warning symbol, indicating the presence of “moving parts” and advising
you to keep parts of your body away from the moving parts of the machine.
b) Never try to stop the inertial discs from spinning by using your hand or any other part of
your body.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS
WARNING - RISK OF BURNING YOUR SKIN.
1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WARNINGS.
c) Keep all parts of your body more than 10cm away from the inertial discs. The exception to
this is when you are using the handgrip attached to the machine, when your hand will be
less than 10cm from the disc. However, your hand should never be less than 2.5cm from the
disc. Always hold the grip on the inside part so that your hand is protected by the structure
of the handgrip.
d) Do not pick up or touch the pull rope when working out with Handy Gym™.
e) Do not allow any part of your body to be within 10cm of the pull rope or pulley when
working out with Handy Gym™.
WARNING - RISK OF GETTING TRAPPED.
a) Do not grasp or touch the rope while the machine is in use. Do not pull the rope directly.
b) Do not tie a knot in the rope or hook it to any part of your body. The rope is attached to
the accessories by using the rope-regulator carabiner or pulley carabiner.

6
d) Do not touch or insert anything into the space between the inertia discs and the main
unit.
e) Do not use the machine without tying your hair up. Otherwise it could get caught in
the machine’s nozzle or pulley. Do not allow your hair to be anywhere near the areas of
movement - especially the machine’s pulley and nozzle.
a) Make sure that the rope regulator is rmly locked on to the rope. Check each time or when
starting an exercise that it is correctly in place by pulling on it. If the rope is not properly
locked, there is a risk of falling backwards when performing the movement.
b) You are advised to gather any excess rope hanging at the regulator outlet and roll it up so
that it does not get in the way during the exercise. Otherwise you could trip and fall.
c) Do not use Handy Gym™ on slippery or rough oors or in dangerous environments so that,
if you do trip over the rope or other items, you will not hurt yourself badly when you fall. Make
sure the oor is stable, rm and offers sufcient grip.
d) Do not use the machine barefoot or with socks only - always wear suitable sports shoes.
e) Step rmly with both feet onto the portable platform to avoid falling or slipping.
f) Do not climb trees or other structures to anchor Handy Gym™. You should only anchor
Handy Gym™ in suitable places that are within reach and below 2m in height.
WARNING - RISK OF FALLING DOWN.
c) Do not touch or insert anything into the machine nozzle. Keep all parts of your body at
least 10cm away from the nozzle when using the machine, as there is a risk of trapping your
ngers, hair or other parts of your body.
f) Always wear tight clothing to avoid it getting trapped.
g) Avoid wearing jewellery (earrings, rings, chains, bracelets, etc) when
using the machine. If you do, they should be properly covered under
clothing, or there is a risk they will become trapped and cause you harm.
h) When using the pulley, keep a minimum safety distance of 10cm between the pulley and
your body, clothing and equipment.
i) When using the carabiners, keep a minimum safety distance of 10cm between the
carabiner and your body, clothing and equipment.

7
a) Do not anchor Handy Gym™ to the ceiling or hang from it with your body weight. The
machine could break loose and hit you.
b) Do your exercises using the rope regulator at a minimum safety distance of 10cm from
your body, including clothing and equipment, to avoid it hitting you.
c) Take extra precautions when doing exercises that involve movements close to your head.
Keep a safe distance of 10cm between Handy Gym™ and your head, and bear in mind that
your face is the area most at risk.
d) Before exercising with Handy Gym™, always tighten the inertial disc screws rmly and
check that they are screwed on properly. To do so, use the key attached to the rope regulator.
Every time you do an exercise, check that the screws are properly tightened. The machine
has means of protection to prevent the disc from coming loose in the direction of rotation.
If the disc were to come loose while the machine is running, it would move in the direction
of rotation when it touched the ground, and could spin for some time and hit you.
e) Handy Gym™ can only be used with two discs, each placed on either side of the machine
and tightened with its screw. Otherwise there is a risk that they will come loose and hit you
or damage the machine. The discs must be kept clear of external items. They should not be
tampered with and their weights should not be changed.
f) Items that can be attached (such as the handle or mounting plates) must be attached to
the machine using the tracks, and ensuring they are correct attached by listening for the
double click on the double safety system. The machine has two buttons for this, which need
to be pressed and secured in their respective holes by sliding the machine along the rails
until they line up. Check that it is properly anchored by moving the parts back and forth
and ensuring that they are rmly attached. This should prevent the machine from ying off.
g) They should be fully inserted into the rails. The machine and accessories should never
protrude when tted in place. If any of the parts stick out, it means it has been wrongly
inserted. Once this is completed, the machine should be moved in both directions to check
that it is correctly coupled.
h) Three releasable cable ties must be used whenever the rack mounting plate is used
and secured to suitable structures with sufcient resistance (able to withstand over
660lb/300kg). Never use fewer cable ties. If the 3 cable ties are not used simultaneously,
sufcient resistance is not guaranteed, and the machine could y off and hit you.
i) You should always step rmly onto the platform with both feet and use it on stable, solid
ground that offers sufcient grip. Otherwise the platform and the machine could y off and
hit you.
j) The loop strap should not be wrapped around or supported on any sharp, pointed or
protruding objects. We recommend that you t it to a rounded or low-edge structure that
supports a minimum of 600lb/300kg and that you ensure it is well secured. Otherwise the
strap could break and this could cause harm by hitting you.
k) Examples of structures that are considered hazardous: structures that are not secure, can
be easily moved, are uneven or have wheels... Fixing the Handy Gym™ system to structures
like these can lead to breakage, knocks or falls.
l) The door stopper accessory should be placed on top of the door and in the centre of the
door. It should be placed on the closing side of the door towards the door jamb, so that
the movement is in the direction of the door closing, not in the direction that it opens.
Otherwise the accessory could break and cause it to fall or hit you.
WARNING - RISK OF YOU BEING HIT.

WARNING - RISK OF OTHERS BEING HIT.
WARNING - RISK OF CHOKING.
WARNING - RISK WHEN FITTING THE WALL MOUNTING PLATE.
WARNING - RISK OF ROPE BREAKING.
a) Exercise within a safe perimeter where you are alone, with no hazardous items or other
people around you. The minimum safety perimeter is 1.8m wide by 2.4m long. You should
exercise within this perimeter; if you need more space, increase it. If you are using the
portable platform, the minimum safety perimeter is 1.8m diameter.
b) Look out for other people and pets moving around you, and make sure they do not enter
the safety perimeter. This will help ensure others are not hit.
c) When doing most exercises you will be able to see the position of the machine. You should
therefore be especially careful when doing exercises where you cannot see the machine
and/or accessories.
d) Always use the machine in well-lit environments so that others can easily see you and the
machine. Because the pull rope is black, it may not be visible to others. Make sure no one
trips over the pull rope.
a) Never tie or wrap the pull rope around your neck or any other part of your body. The rope
is operated by using the various accessories.
b) Never tie the releasable cable ties around your neck. These are only to be used with the
rack mounting plate.
c) Never tie any accessories around your neck - especially the loop strap or belt.
To avoid hazards when tting the wall mounting plate and the potential of harming yourself,
follow the recommendations below:
a) The wall mounting plate must be tted by a professional using all appropriate safety
measures, such as wearing protective gloves and safety goggles - both to protect him/
herself and to prevent harm to others. Specialist tools such as drills need to be used.
b) Only the screws supplied by Handy Gym™ should be used. The installation will not be
valid if any of the screws break or if any of the wall plugs are loose.
c) The wall on which it is tted needs to be strong enough (capable of withstanding
660lb/300kg of pulling force) and it must remain intact and undamaged by tting the
mounting plate onto it.
d) The holes should adhere to the recommended measurements; they should be clean and
round, and not crooked.
e) If a ladder or bench is needed, it should meet regulations and comply with all appropriate
safety measures.
a) Do not exceed 220lb/100kg of pulling force
in order to prevent the rope from breaking.
*HGE-01 users: Thanks to the encoder and the
mobile application, you can check the force you are
exerting and the RPM of the machine at all times.
Make sure you do not exceed these values.

INTRODUCTION
What is Handy Gym™?
Handy Gym™ is a small, innovative human-powered inertial movement machine that allows for a full-
body workout in a wide variety of places without the need to carry heavy weights.
Inertial technology develops the muscles during all phases of movement - both during the concentric
phase and, more importantly, during the eccentric phase - in a way that other types of training are not
able to.
In terms of training and/or recovery efficiency, inertial technology is one of the best options available.
Important studies on sports training confirm that muscle developed during eccentric movements is of
the highest quality.
How does it work?
Handy Gym™ works using two inertial discs that are able to convert spinning into resistance. The secret
is that this machine's cone and the special epicyclic gear train multiply N times the shaft speed and
reduce the mass of the disc N2 times and, consequently, the weight of the whole machine.
Handy Gym™ offers the option of exercising all muscle groups with workout routines of up to
220lb/100kg force, due to its different interchangeable inertial discs.

Inertial technology develops the muscles during all phases of movement - both during the

How does it work?
Handy Gym™ works using two inertial discs that are able to convert spinning into resistance.
The secret is that this machine’s cone and the special epicyclic gear train multiply N times
the shaft speed and reduce the mass of the disc N2 times and, consequently, the weight of
the whole machine.
Handy Gym™ offers the option of exercising all muscle groups with workout routines of up
to 220lb/100kg force, due to its different interchangeable inertial discs.
Inside the machine.
Inside Handy Gym™ is an epicyclic gear train, combined with a steel shaft and a conical coil
that drives the system, and into which is inserted the rope that you pull.
This means that the system works mechanically by means of human traction. There are no
motors or electrical parts inside that generate resistance.
It is similar to the way a yo-yo works: You pull the rope with X force using the hand grip (or
other accessories). This unwinds the rope that is wound around the cone. And then the
inertia created by the epicyclic gear and the discs winds the rope back, with X-r force, where
r equals losses due to friction.

INERTIAL DISCS.
Handy Gym™ works using two inertial discs, one tted to each side of the machine, that are
able to convert spinning into resistance.
There are three different pairs of inertia discs, which differ in colour and weight. They are
very light, and offer great resistance with very little weight.
They are fastened to the machine with screws, so they can be quickly inserted and removed.
They can also be combined with each other, which means the machine can offer several
levels of strength.
They have 4 magnets placed on the back side, positioned with alternating polarity.
