Beginner (default on first activation)

50 lbs / 22 kg

Normal

100 lbs / 45 kg

Sports

200 lbs / 90 kg

Resistance indicator — Numbers and icons on the display illuminate when resistance is active. An unlit display means the unit is idle; lit indicates force is being applied.

Units — Weight (lbs / kg) and cable length (in / cm) are adjustable at any time from the settings menu.

Training data — VOLTRA I displays rep-level output in real time directly on the device screen: Peak Power, Peak Velocity, Mean Velocity, and Cable Velocity.

Starting cable length — Initial cable position is adjustable before each set, ensuring consistent range of motion across exercises and users.

Intense Mode — Available across modes, Intense Mode uses an alternative control algorithm that reduces dynamic motor compensation. The result is a more stable, mechanically consistent resistance feel — particularly noticeable at lighter loads and during the eccentric phase. Use it if you prefer a rawer resistance feel closer to a traditional cable machine.



Weight Training:

Standard constant resistance — functions like a cable machine. The motor maintains a fixed load throughout the full range of motion with ultra-low inertia for smooth, controlled movement in both directions.

Timer — Set a custom rest interval between sets.

Smart Pin — Saves up to three frequently used resistance levels for one-tap access between exercises. Tap a saved weight to load it instantly; tap again to edit.

Resistance Band:

Resistance increases progressively as the cable extends, replicating the ascending force curve of a resistance band.

Configurable parameters:

  • ROM range: adjustable from 20–102 in (50–260 cm) to match your movement

  • Resistance curve selectable

Damper:

Velocity-based resistance — the harder and faster you pull, the greater the resistance. Force scales dynamically with movement speed according to the following relationship:

Resistance = Factor × Velocity

Power = Resistance × Velocity × g

The Factor parameter is user-adjustable and controls the sensitivity of the damping response.

Use it for: explosive power development, athletic conditioning, high-velocity training.

Isokinetic:

Fixes the cable speed rather than the load. VOLTRA I adjusts resistance dynamically so that movement occurs at a set velocity (0.1–1.0 m/s) regardless of the force applied. Eccentric settings are supported.

Use it for: rehabilitation protocols, neuromuscular training, controlled-velocity strength assessment.

Isometric:

Holds resistance at a fixed position — the cable does not move. Push or pull against immovable resistance at a specific joint angle. Maximum resistance: 400 lbs (1,779 N).

Metrics captured: Peak Force (N), Rate of Force Development (RFD) 0–100ms, Time to Peak Force, Impulse 0–100ms, Peak Relative Force (%), Test Time.

Setup:

  1. Select Isometric from the mode menu

  2. Input body weight for relative force calculations

  3. Pull cable to your desired test position and hold to set

  4. Apply maximum effort — timer starts automatically

  5. Results display immediately on completion

Use it for: strength testing, bilateral comparison, rehabilitation assessment, return-to-sport benchmarking.

Custom Curves:

Define a fully custom resistance curve via the Beyond+ app. Set precise force values at any point along the range of motion. Saved curves can be recalled and reapplied across sessions — no reconfiguration needed.

Setup: configure via Beyond+ app → Modes → Custom Curve. Adjust force zones along the curve, save, and activate on device.

Rowing:

Fluid, dynamic resistance tuned specifically for high-repetition, endurance-style movement. Choose between open-ended training or set a target distance.

Options:

  • Just Row — open session, no distance target

  • Distance — set a target distance and track completion
