Welcome to the inaugural issue of Beyond the Bench, your exclusive pass to the latest news from the team at Beyond Power. We'll be regularly sharing exciting updates and a sneak peek into the future of VOLTRA I. Lock in!
New Features on the Horizon (Beta)
We recently announced our beta test (more info on that below!), but here's a taste of some of the exciting features soon coming to your VOLTRA I:
-
Isokinetic Mode: Maintain a consistent speed throughout your entire range of motion for a truly unique training experience.
-
Negative Eccentric: Take full control of the lowering phase of your exercises to maximize muscle growth and strength.
-
15-200lbs Gearless Resistance Band: Two distinct resistance profiles for a wider range of exercises and intensity levels.
New Accessory Releases
If you caught us at any of our recent expos, you've seen for yourself some of the exciting accessories coming to VOLTRA I. Our new upcoming two additions are:
-
Rotator Add-on: Mounting over any VOLTRA mounting point, this creative attachment allows you to easily rotate your VOLTRA I without having to dismount / reattach your mount. Basement Brandon recently made a great video on this accessory! Check it out here.
-
Strap Mount: Our new, extremely versatile strap mount allows you to mount VOLTRA I to a wider range of racks, poles, even a tree (if you really wanted to).
We don't have release dates for either of these yet, but the Rotator is about to go into production, so not long now!
Beta Testing Begins
We were overwhelmed with the interest for our beta program! If you've replied and provided your serial number, thanks! We'll be emailing back confirmation if you're selected.
This will be approved in waves as we get increasingly confident in the newly added features, for your safety and ours. Check your inbox for a reply from our beta@beyond-power.com email, which will detail how to get started if you've been picked.
Note: The firmware version (1.0.3.80) that will be pushed only includes Isokinetic and Negative Eccentric modes.
Your feedback means everything to us - so we'll be launching a stickied thread on Reddit to share your experiences, over here: reddit.com/r/beyondpower. And don't forget to post videos and pictures of yourself using the new modes on social media—we love seeing VOLTRA I in action.

Japan Sport Week: We made a splash at Japan Sport Week, introducing VOLTRA I to the Japanese market.
-
Pro Team Adoption: VOLTRA I is now being utilized by some of Japan's top baseball, soccer and rugby teams, including the Yomiuri Giants, Black Rams, Red Diamonds, and the DeNA BayStars.
-
Sportec 2024: Our partner showcased VOLTRA I at their Sportec booth, and renowned strength coach Kazuhiko Tomooka (aka Kazu) hosted three informative seminars highlighting VOLTRA I's versatility. Thanks again for your support, Kazu!
