Home Gym Talk: Episode Thirteen - Chest and Back with the Voltra 1

Another day - another workout... This time we finally got a good recording of a chest and back workout with the Voltra 1 from Beyond Power. I was able to get a variety of pull downs and rows in, but until my second unit comes in I cant use it for chest.
Tell me what you think, or give me some exercises to try on it.

    How long does the Ultra battery lasts on average and how long does it take to charge ? How’s the feel vs an actual pulley/weight stack ? Considering the Voltra vs a stack weight functional trainer like the Rep Ares. Great videos !

    Thank you. The battery last for about 4 one hour workouts and I charge it overnight so I dont have an exact timeline, it is pretty slow to charge though. The feel is comparable to an actual pulley weight stack and it is very smooth with the lighter weight, the eccentric pull needs a little adjustment with the heavier weight, but that is an option on this device.

    Great Video! I Was hoping You'll do another one with Voltra. Do you see any difference with overall feel of the weight, and muscle fatigue? I have a much cheaper device called "Unitree Pump" - which are a similar cube-shaped motors with rope. It's kinda smooth, and I defenitely feel the pump even harder than with regular pulley system, but it feels kinda different with maximum contraction (like the motor stopped), and it's more "shaky" during the movement. But I guess Voltra it's not an issue with Voltra since it's almost 10 time the price ;)

    Agreed, for the price the expectations were high. So far, I would say it has met them. I am getting solid resistance and full contraction throughout the workout. I did forget to charge it today and the battery quit at 5% and I had to wait for it to charge. Other than that it has been a game changer and a space saver in my home gym. Honestly, I have spent a lot of money on my gym and this was worth the investment for me. The weight does feel true to what is stated. It is not a 2-1 like the others. I hing a 45lb plate and it was right at 45 on the machine.

    @@homegymtalk Thanks for replying! Keep up the good work and maybe consider some in-depth review of Voltra and each aspect of using it, after you gather some final thougths on it. I don't get it why there's so little reviews/videos about this stuff.

    I know, right? I would think more people would be talking about it. After trying it myself, it really is a game changer for the home gym. I will do an in depth review this week and post it. Hope it helps! Thank you for watching
