The FAYG System
How FAYG Is Different
FAYG started with a simple frustration: portable gym equipment has always meant compromise. Light kit maxes out at beginner-level resistance. Heavy kit gets expensive fast — every step up in load means buying more equipment. Different exercises demand different gear, so the pile grows and every set-change means swapping kit. Range of motion is limited. Tension is inconsistent. Tracking progress is guesswork. And the systems that do deliver real resistance cost thousands, take up a room, and are complex to use. FAYG fills the gap.
What makes it all possible is the resistance arm — and every feature enables the next. Its rigid steel geometry holds the band at a fixed angle, eliminating slack at the start and dead zones mid-rep. The pin connection lets you change strands in seconds. Every arm is identical, so scaling means simply adding another. And the universal anchor profile lets the same arm work under the footplate or strapped to anything solid. None of it works without all of it. That's the design.
The result: stand on the footplate and train. Strap an arm to a tree, a pole, or a gym rack and train. The same kit runs squats on a kitchen floor, pulls against a tree in the park, and loads horizontal work off a gym rack. One system, three environments. No installation, no fixed location, no permission needed.
Resistance is real: 132 kg per arm, crane-scale verified. Change load by adding or removing strands — under 5 seconds, no slack, no kit swap between exercises, no guesswork. Today is 16 strands; next week is 18. Progress is countable. Independent arms load multiple planes at once — vertical, horizontal, rotational — something single-anchor systems can never do.
Versatility scales with the user, not the wallet. Pull, push, squat, hinge, rotation — from rehab-light single strands up to a 396 kg three-arm stack. Add a Resistance Arm whenever you're ready — same footplate, no rebuild.
And it all fits in a kit bag. Under 10 kg, no power, no fixings, no facility. Teardown as fast as setup. Car boot, kit bag, behind a door — wherever you need it next.
How It Works
Two ways to anchor. No tools, no drilling, no installation.
Floor Mode — Stand on the footplate. You're the anchor.
- Setup: under 30 seconds
- Best for: squats, rows, presses, deadlifts, curls
- Why start here: flat floor is all you need
Mount Strap Mode — Wrap the strap around anything solid: tree, pole, rack, rig.
- Setup: 1–2 minutes
- Best for: horizontal pulls, standing presses, rotational work, outdoor sessions
- Anchor flexibility: any height the strap reaches
Adjusting Resistance
- Strands for fine tuning — 5.5 kg each
One arm. From a single strand at 5.5 kg to a full stack at 132 kg.
Exercise & Training
FAYG trains every major movement pattern: pull, push, squat, hinge, rotation. One arm covers full-body work. Two arms unlock bilateral compound lifts and independent-side loading. Three arms add simultaneous multi-plane work.
From 5.5 kg rehab work to 396 kg three-arm compounds, the same kit scales with you — beginner to advanced, no equipment changes between sets.
