Using resistance to its advantage, the Unitree PUMP can mimic just about any type of exercise equipment you need. Its modular and universal design allows you to work on any part of your body, and the pocket resistance machine is also small enough to travel with, allowing you to build muscle without having to carry the entire gym with you.
The BOMB comes from Unitree, a robotics company most popularly known for its quadrupedal ‘robot dog’. A byproduct of the technology developed for the dog was a proprietary motor capable of generating resistance. It wasn’t long before the folks at Unitree saw a novel application for this engine. Capable of generating resistance up to 44lbs (20kg), the PUMP is a deceptively small, palm-sized gym that can be used in many ways to work any part of your body, covering up to 90% of your body. of all muscle groups. It is also capable of generating stable resistance so that you do not injure or strain your muscles. Who would have thought that building the muscles of a robot dog would end up helping to build, well, human muscles?

All of PUMP’s capabilities are housed in this handheld device that contains a motor and microcontroller board that helps adjust PUMP’s resistance and track your workouts. The PUMP can be attached to objects such as door frames, railings, or even the floor, and can be used to mimic the feel of working with weights. You can use it for general full body workouts, HIIT routines, or even targeting your core or other body parts.
The PUMP works pretty much as a stand-alone device and hardly needs any extra accessories (other than straps and such), but once you include your modules, it can basically replace an entire gym. Plus, all that mechanical energy stored inside the PUMP from all your exercise can be used to charge your phone! In PUMP generation mode, the mechanical action of exercising is directly translated into electrical energy, which can then be used to charge your devices.
Concentric Mode: You can customize the resistance from 11 to 44 lbs (5 to 20 kg) and a ratio of 0 to 50%.
Eccentric Mode – Gives you more of a burn when you release the weight, giving your muscles more time under pressure.
Constant mode: Adjust the resistance range from 4.4 to 44 pounds (2 to 20 kg). The resistance will be the same whether you pull the rope or release it again.
Chain Mode – Choose a resistance from 4.4 to 44 lbs (2 to 20 kg), but allows you to program the resistance and let PUMP adjust the resistance automatically as you train.
The Unitree PUMP is paired with its companion smartphone app that lets you choose from over 100 free tutorials on how to use the PUMP to target various parts of your body. In addition to recommending exercises, the app lets you set resistance, helps you track your reps, and even counts your calories, giving you an overall breakdown of your workout.
Additionally, the app gamifies the exercise process with an integrated fitness game that enhances your weight training experience like nothing else on the market. The app even helps you unlock PUMP’s true potential by suggesting new ways to use it: With simple equipment and a little effort, you can turn your PUMP into a rowing machine, paddle machine, Smith machine, or machine. of leg extension curls. . Combine two PUMPS and with a pair of floor mounted suction cups, you can even simulate weight training!
The idea of a space-saving gym not only appeals to the traveler (although the PUMP was designed to be travel-friendly), it also appeals to people with small apartments who don’t have the room for a platoon or the money. for large amounts of gym equipment. Each PUMP ships with a power cord (since it is powered by a motor), a storage bag, and accessories such as a door anchor, extension cord, snug belt, ankle strap, rope and a safety buckle. The entire device weighs just 700 grams (as much as a bottle of water), but it is capable of generating a resistance almost 30 times greater than its total weight. Pricing for this palm-sized gym starts at a super early bird price of $159.
