The product

ZWITCH is a compact training tool which enables you to do an upper-body ‘Time under Tension’ workout with low risk of injury. Instead of the muscle tension being created through the use of weights or resistance bands, you build the tension though the ZWITCH and are therefore working against yourself, so the more muscle tension you put in, the more you get out. The benefits of using ZWITCH speak for themselves.

The benefits

  • Suitable for every level of fitness

    From beginners to fitness professionals, ZWITCH provides the right level of workout intensity from the start, enabling all users to improve their physical performance and stamina.

  • Easy to use

    The simple design of ZWITCH means there is minimum risk of injury because you are working against your own body strength, so no risk of lifting weights that are too heavy and no resistance bands to break.

  • Safe to use

    The simple design of ZWITCH means there is minimum risk of injury because you are working against your own body strength, so no risk of lifting weights that are too heavy and no resistance bands to break.

  • Increased bone density

    The muscle strength used in ZWITCH resistance exercises cause the tendons to pull on the bones therefore putting them under stress; this bone stress triggers the bone-forming cells called osteoblasts into action, resulting in increased bone strength and density.

  • Time efficient exercise

    No need to work-out for hours on end, you’ll see the benefits with as little as 12 minutes exercise per week.

  • Intense ‘time under tension’ workout

    Delivers an effective workout for biceps, forearms, chest, and shoulders; and can be incorporated into abs and leg exercises. ZWITCH makes your muscles work harder to optimise endurance, strength and muscle growth.

  • Value for money training

    ZWITCH delivers significant physical improvement when compared with other more expensive equipment which take up more space and require more time.

  • Compact and light

    ZWITCH is a ‘take anywhere’ piece of gym equipment, so whether you have limited storage space, travel a lot or want to warm-up muscles before competing, it’s the perfect exercise companion.

  • Aids rehabilitation and upper body mobility

    ZWITCH is perfect for the type of low risk, gradual improvement required for rehabilitation or improving upper-body mobility. Its lightweight and simple design make it perfect for all ages and for exercising whilst seated, even in a wheelchair.

  • Prehab - Injury prevention

    ZWITCH exercises the major muscles but also the little muscles that usually get missed and because you are working against your own strength it’s a very effective prehab exercise tool. The Switch™ exercises help with muscle and joint maintenance helping you to prevent injuries and strains.

  • Delivers quick results

    You will start to feel the muscles working within seconds of starting to use ZWITCH and the more you use it you’ll see the physical improvement.

  • Green credentials

    ZWITCH is manufactured in the UK, from 82% w/w recycled material in 100% recycled packaging.

What people say

“It was simple to use and gave a great workout to the areas worked in a short period of time. In the field I’m in, this will work great alongside recovery to injuries and physio.”

Will,

Peak performance sports massage and recovery therapist

“As I’m often in a rush and don’t always have time to train for long periods of time,  ZWITCH is a great asset to have in saving time training and still receiving all the physical benefits.

Liam Moore,

Jujitsu instructor

This is a whole new way to work-out, in fact, it is a good way to start a session because you’re activating so many different muscles. Injury prevention is a big thing, it isn’t about strapping yourself up and seeing how much you can lift, you need to gear your body up gradually, ZWITCH can help you train all your little muscles that sometimes get missed. Get muscles balanced ZWITCH it up.”

"After just 6 minutes with the ZWITCH I could feel muscles firing.

For something so light and portable I got an unbelievable pump. In my sport, forearm strength and endurance are key, and after just 6 minutes with the ZWITCH I could feel muscles firing.

Isaac Rawcliffe,

Lancashire Squash Champion 2018

“I used the ZWITCH today and couldn’t believe the burn and pump I got. It was a good experience for me to try something new, I travel a lot so think this will help me stay in shape as I can take the ZWITCH with me everywhere, no gym needed, so I truly recommend it.”

Anna Zabczynska,

Personal trainer

This was, in my opinion, the quickest time I have ever reached failure during all my years in the gym. The design, combined with the given exercises, plus the intensity gives the person using it, maximum burn without wasting precious time. I also feel that this could well be the next big thing in travel companionship for the traveller who still wants to workout but lacks time and facilities are an issue.”

Craig

Personal trainer

I used to play rugby until I had a life changing injury, which resulted in an above the knee amputation; I just wish I had found ZWITCH when I was in the early stages of my rehabilitation. Its light weight design helps to remove some of the fear of exercising when you are in significant pain, and I couldn’t believe the intensity of the workout I got whilst seated, I can only manage 9 minutes and my heart-rate is up and believe me, I am sweating. My ZWITCH is so compact and I like it so much it’s coming on holiday with me”.

Our workouts

A range of workouts have been developed to target the different upper-body muscle groups, and we are developing new exercises all the time, so that you can vary your workouts. We are also developing a range of exercises specifically designed for rehabilitation and people who need to sit whilst exercising.

During our product trials with users and fitness professionals, we have found that ZWITCH isometric, time-under-tension and resistance exercises work both the small and the major upper-body muscles, as well as improving joint mobility and grip strength. Also, they help to stress the bones, don’t worry, this actually stimulates the bone-forming cells called osteoblasts to improve bone density and strength. This makes ZWITCH ideal for prehab and warm-up, actually helping to prevent injury.
