• This user manual

2. Assembly

2.1 Setting up the footplate

• Place the footplate on a flat, stable, non-slip surface. Do not use on wet, uneven, or soft ground.
• Ensure the footplate is clean and dry before use.
• Position the footplate so the arm sockets face the direction of intended resistance.

2.2 Attaching the resistance arms

• Insert the resistance arm base into the footplate socket.
• Rotate and lock the arm into position as indicated by the alignment marker.
• Check the arm is fully seated, with no movement or wobble at the base. Do not use if the arm is loose.
• Repeat for the second arm.

2.3 Attaching the mount strap (elevated anchor mode)

• Loop the adjustable strap around a secure fixed structure: a sturdy closed door, gym rack upright, rig post, tree trunk, or similar.
• The anchor point must be capable of withstanding the full rated resistance load. Do not use on lightweight furniture or unsecured structures.
• If anchoring to a door, ensure it is closed and latched, and position the strap so the load cannot pull the door open.
• Attach the strap directly to the resistance bands at the arm tip.
• Adjust the strap length to achieve your desired anchor height.
• Tug firmly on the strap before applying load to confirm it is secure.

3. Pre-Use Safety Checklist

Complete this checklist before every session. Do not use the equipment if any item cannot be confirmed.

• Surface is flat, stable, dry, and non-slip
• Footplate is clean and positioned correctly
• All arms fully seated in the footplate sockets, with no wobble
• All bands inspected, with no cracks, cuts, discolouration, or loss of elasticity
• Bands fully seated on the arm tip hooks
• Mount strap (if used) is secured to a rated fixed structure and pulled tight
• Mount strap connected directly to the bands, checked and firm
• Safety zone of 1 metre clear around the equipment
• No loose clothing or jewellery that could catch on the bands

4. Operating

4.1 Floor Mode (footplate anchored by body weight)

• Stand on the footplate with both feet. Your body weight anchors the unit.
• Grip the band, barbell, or strap attachment at your chosen starting position.
• Perform your exercise through the full intended range of motion.
• Control the return. Do not allow the bands to snap back uncontrolled.
• Always adjust or remove bands while remaining on the footplate. Do not step off to make adjustments.

4.2 Elevated Anchor Mode (strap anchored to door, rack, pole, or tree)

• Confirm the strap is secure and connected directly to the bands before loading.
• Stand at an appropriate distance from the anchor to achieve your desired band tension at the start position.
• Perform the exercise. Maintain control throughout the full range of motion.
• Do not jerk or use momentum to initiate movement. Apply force smoothly.
• Detach the bands from the strap before adjusting strap height.

4.3 Adjusting Resistance

Each arm holds up to 24 strands. Resistance increases with every strand you add, and with the distance you stand from the anchor. Add or remove strands in seconds to set your load.

• A single strand delivers around 5.5 kg.
• One arm scales from a single strand up to a full stack of 132 kg.
• The Fibra Standard's two arms reach 264 kg combined.

Maximum resistance by configuration:

Do not attempt to exceed the rated maximum resistance for your configuration.

5. Band Inspection and Replacement

Before every session

• Inspect each band visually for cracks, cuts, nicks, or surface deterioration.
• Stretch each band slightly by hand and check for uneven resistance or unusual give.
• Check for discolouration. Yellowing or whitening of the latex indicates degradation.
• Do not use any band that fails inspection. Replace immediately.

Replacement interval

Typical band lifespan is 12 or more months with regular home use. Replace immediately at the first sign of cracking, discolouration, or loss of elasticity. Replace all bands on an arm at the same time, and do not mix old and new bands. Replacement band sets are available from fitasyougo.com.

7. Maintenance and Storage

• After each session, wipe down the steel arms and footplate with a dry cloth.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. UV exposure degrades latex bands.
• Check the arm-to-footplate connection periodically. Retighten if any movement is detected.

8. Disposal

The Fibra footplate (marine plywood) and steel arms should be disposed of in accordance with your local authority's recycling and waste guidelines. Latex bands should be disposed of as general waste unless local latex recycling facilities are available.
