Cyclops Workout has introduced its new Connected Pulley – the latest in its line of retrofit sensors that covers cables, straps and bands. The Connected Pulley is designed to transform the value of selectorised equipment, for both gym members and operators.

Director Miles Rimell says its introduction comes as a response to two pivotal fitness trends – a surge in popularity for strength training and a rapid shift towards connected fitness.

The new fit-and-forget design seamlessly swaps with existing pulleys, harvesting its own energy from the natural revolutions, ensuring an uninterrupted data stream without the need for a power supply, batteries, or regular maintenance.

The device is designed to be invisible to users and has no effect on the look, feel or functionality of equipment. Users simply connect to each piece of selectorised equipment via a QR code for instant feedback.

As well as delivering live rep count via the Cyclops app, the connected pulley uses wireless load-sensing technology that was originally developed in the marine industry to deliver advanced metrics such as time under tension, total force, and concentric vs eccentric movement.
