Kynett Fit Flywheel Trainer Review

33 Comments / By Shredded Dad

The Kynett Fit flywheel trainer is something I’ve been very excited to try.

Prior to getting the Kynett Fit, I had never done any flywheel training so I wanted to see what the hype was about.

Flywheel training uses kinetic energy transferred to a flywheel (think of it like a yo-yo).

This puts a big emphasis on eccentric overload (negative part of the exercise).

So the harder you pull on the cord, the harder it wants to pull you back forcing you to control the negative.

Let’s check it out!

Unboxing

First thing I see when I open the box is a 4mm resistance disc (flywheel).

There’s two flywheels included.

Right below the resistance disc there’s a plastic housing where you insert the resistance discs.

What’s Included?

Here’s everything that’s included inside the box of the Kynett Fit flywheel trainer:

Strap length adjustment attachment

Multi-function handle

(2) Crossfit handles

(2) Fastening straps

Ankle cuff

Disc housing

Universal bracket

Carabiner

Wall mounting hardware

(2) 4mm resistance discs

Disc Housing

The disc housing is where the resistance discs lie.

And just like a yo-yo, there’s a cord that attaches to the middle of the wheels.

When I open one side of the housing you see there’s a grey knob in the middle.

This is what keeps the resistance disc secured to the center of the housing.

And here’s what a resistance disc looks like once it’s on.

All that’s left is putting on the knob to keep the disc in place.

Put the knob in the center and tighten it.

Then you do the same on the other side.

Here’s a bird’s eye view of the disc housing with both sides open.

Resistance Discs

The Kynett Fit comes with a 4mm resistance disc.

A resistance disc’s weight and diameter determines the maximum resistance it can generate.

The bigger the number on it, the harder the workout can get.

Kynett Fit can work with heavier resistance discs up to 15mm.

Universal Bracket

The universal bracket can be used on many surfaces.

You can see there’s 4 holes on the bracket if you wanted to attach it to a wall.

The back of the bracket has rubber pads that help to protect whatever surface you have it against.

I wrap it around my PRx performance rack and that’s what the fastening straps are for.

You can also use the straps to anchor the Kynett Fit around a tree, column, or any other post-like structure.

Here’s the top of the bracket against my rack with the strap holding it in place.

The bottom of the bracket is set up the same way.

Handles

Kynett calls these two handles “Crossfit handles”.

They have rubber grips and 3 D-rings on each strap.

The D-rings give you the option to make the strap shorter or longer by clipping it on to the carabiner on the flywheel strap.

The bigger handle is the “Multi-functional Handle”.

This one has a longer handle and also connects to the flywheel’s carabiner.

And the last handle attachment that comes with the Kynett Fit is an ankle cuff.

Self explanatory, wrap it around your ankle for lower body exercises.

Strap Adjust

The strap adjust make the flywheel’s strap shorter.

This strap is helpful for exercises that require adjusting the strap length.

What Is Flywheel Training?

Flywheel training is a type of resistance training where the resistance is generated by the inertia of a flywheel instead of weights and gravity.

Contrary to weight training, flywheel training has variable resistance.

The concentric part of the movement is easier than the eccentric.

Because the concentric portion of the movement is harder, it’s been shown to be a good training style for hypertrophy.

How Does Kynett Fit Flywheel Trainer Work?

The Kynett Fit flywheel trainer comes with a universal bracket that can be mounted to a post, wall, or tree.

Once the flywheel is anchored securely, all you do is attach the disc housing.

Then select the type of handle you want to use and you’re ready to start working out.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Portable: Can be used indoors and outdoors. Just wrap the straps around a pole, weight rack, beam, tree, etc.

Adjustable: Change be moved up and down to change angles and perform different exercises.

Variable resistance: The harder you pull, the harder you have to resist the flywheel pulling back.

Space saving: You don’t need much room to get a full workout

Versatile: The amount of exercises you can do with a flywheel are endless.

Accessories: Can be used with a squat harness, handles, straps, ropes, platforms, and more

Cons

Learning curve: It takes a little bit of time to get used to the pull back from the flywheel but the more you use it, the easier it becomes.

Flywheel Training Exercises

The amount of exercises you can do with a flywheel trainer are endless.

You can anchor the flywheel low, middle, or high and do anything you want with it.

Kynett Fit Flywheel Review

Flywheel training is different than anything I’ve ever done in the past.

It’s like a tug-of-war with the flywheel and the harder you push/pull, the harder it pulls you back.

This is why it’s called an eccentric exercise machine by many, because you’re forced to control that pull back.

The Kynett Fit does a great job at giving you that eccentric overload.

I also like that I can move it up and down my rack to change angles and do a variety of exercises for both the upper and lower body.
