Fluid Power UBE Fluid Resistance Upper Body Ergometer

Train Your Upper Body - Arm, Core and Shoulder With The Fluid Power Zone UBE 

Fluid Power UBE is an industrial quality, standing Upper Body Ergometer, designed to withstand high intensity powerful workouts or provide silky smooth resistance suitable for warm ups, cool downs and rehabilitation.

The resistance is created by our patented Twin Tank 10x Adjustable Fluid Resistance system.

The ground based UBE exercise involves long kinetic chains engaging many muscles from the ground up. Your core is activated to support your entire shoulder girdle when engaged in the “arm grinder” motion.

It provides load in either direction. Changing direction alters the emphasis on the muscles engaged, adding even more variety to your training.

The UBE is a perfect inclusion for any type of fitness facility, it can add variety to all types of group training and is a perfect warm up tool with a focus on the core and upper body.

How Does Fluid Power UBE Work? 

FDF PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

At the core of all Fluid Power Zone machines by FDF is the patented Twin Tank technology, providing 10 distinct levels of Fluid Resistance. The patented technology comprises Twin Tanks, the inner passive or holding tank and the outer active or resistance tank.

When you select a high level, water will flow from the passive holding tank to the active resistance tank as you begin to exercise, and you will experience the smooth fluid resistance, no matter what your speed.

Conversely, if you select a low level, the water will be transferred away from the active resistance tank and back into the passive holding tank, lowering the resistance. You can even make adjustments on the fly to find a load that is just right for your fitness training zone.

SEMI ISOKINETIC RESISTANCE

The water in active resistance tank acts as a brake to hold back the multi-bladed impeller, the more water in the active resistance tank the greater the braking effect.

The water in the active tank isn’t all staying in the active tank during the exercise (at any level), some of it is always being cycled through the passive holding tank.

As you attempt to generate more power by increasing your speed the water cycles faster between the Twin Tanks at greater and greater speed to maintain a consistent amount of water in both tanks. This creates such a unique smooth action and at virtually any speed.

Air resistance works in a similar way, however the variation in load that is possible by restricting an impeller from “no air to total air” does not create distinctly different levels of resistance, this is very obvious at low speeds.

At high speeds the two mediums, water and air, start to feel similar except for one very key difference that makes adjustable fluid resistance so unique. When the drive phase of an activity is followed by a recovery phase, as in rowing or ski ergometer exercises, during this recovery phase air does not provide the braking force that the water in our vertical tank does.

At the catch or beginning of the next drive phase the air machine impeller has high momentum and that creates a soft or no load pick up.

Essentially the resistance on an air machine cannot be felt again until your speed catches up to the flywheel and you start to apply a greater force against which the air will resist.

These differences are so easy for you to test for yourself. Compare the ROW against any common air resisted rowing machine. You will quickly see why our patented Twin Tank Fluid Resistance system is so smooth and consistent at virtually any speed.

Reasons to Include the FDF Fluid Power UBE In Your Facility

Fluid Power Zone machines are manufactured by FDF to exacting standards suitable for intense commercial fitness environments. Each Fluid Power Zone machine is designed to withstand the most vigorous HIIT workout or provide silky smooth resistance suitable for all sports, warm ups, cool downs and rehabilitation exercises.

The case for the inclusion of Fluid Power Zone in any commercial application is extremely strong.

Various pages with-in this Website outline the uniqueness of how our resistance system works and how that translates to a myriad of advantages and exercise options for different population demographics.

Without going back over the advantages of our low moment, concentric only, Fluid Resistance training, below are some additional advantages for including Fluid Power Zone machines in your facility.

• No External Power Requirement - Install machines on any flat, firm surface
• Commercial Grade Reliability - Essential for any commercial facility
• Efficient Footprint - Each machine takes up less space than a treadmill
• Circuit Ready - A set of six FPZ machines form a full body complete Circuit
• Stand Alone - Dovetail any machine into an existing SGT or Group X
• Easy To Move - One person can easily move any machine between training areas
• New Exercisers - Immediate sense of accomplishment, low starting resistance levels
• Unique Aesthetics - Totally unique sight, sound and feel
• Fits Everyone - No adjustments required (except Rower Footplates) for easy start
• HIIT Ready - Unparalleled performance for any interval training
