What is the Portable VersaPulley?

The Portable VersaPulley is an inertial flywheel-training device relied upon by many of the world’s top teams, universities, therapists, and trainers to prepare their athletes for the highest levels of competition.  What differentiates the VersaPulley from its competitors is the ability to perform exercises in both a horizontal and vertical application.  This allows its users to train at any load, at any speed, and in any plane within an infinite amount of exercise variation.

In most team sports, players are required to repeatedly perform short, explosive, efforts such as accelerations and decelerations during changes of direction ² .  The capacity to dissipate the forces during abrupt deceleration (breaking ability) is critical to injury prevention, while the ability to decelerate and reaccelerate in a short period of time (reactive strength) is paramount to enhanced performance.

The VersaPulley is designed to create those moments of eccentric overload, allowing the athlete to be exposed to these stresses in a non-impact, concentrically driven and eccentrically overloaded environment.   VersaPulley accomplishes this using our patented MV2 technology – resistance-generating rotating inertial flywheel.

Our device picks up where traditional gravity-based weights, chains, bands, air-powered machines stop.  While all of these methods are important to the training, rehabilitation, and reconditioning of athletes, these methods offer mostly constant concentric and eccentric load in exercises emphasizing vertical actions. They rarely encompass horizontal/lateral actions offering eccentric overload ¹ – which is exactly why the VersaPulley was developed.

Portable Work Out Station
The Portable VP’s light weight, compact design, and ease of mobility is ideal for on the field or on the court training by simply securing with adjustable straps or field stakes; It can also be permanently secured to walls, squat racks or floors in any sport training environment. While the Portable VP weighs just 70 lbs, its patented technology can produce up to 400 lbs. of explosive force resistance.
