Athlete training with two compact B3 Trainer resistance units in a living room

Supercar-inspired design · Patented mechanical resistance

Inspired by supercars.
You are the motor.

B3 Trainer brings the mechanical character of supercars into strength training. A compact disc-brake resistance system replaces motors, batteries and weight stacks—built to perform and designed to remain in sight.

The product

Compact strength equipment.
Designed to be seen.

B3 Trainer is conceived as a pair of compact resistance units for full-body cable training. Each unit turns a familiar piece of performance engineering—the disc brake—into precise, adjustable resistance.

For motorheads, the appeal is familiar: exposed engineering, purposeful design and a mechanism you can see at work. Inspired by supercars and the automotive industry, B3 Trainer adapts disc-brake engineering through its own patented architecture for strength training.

Our ambition is to create a new category of premium strength equipment where mechanical engineering becomes part of the experience. The exposed brake mechanism is both the resistance technology and the visual identity of the product.

No. 01

No motor

Resistance is generated mechanically, without electrical drive systems.

No. 02

1–50 kg per side

Each side offers independently adjustable resistance from 1 to 50 kg—without a bulky weight stack.

No. 03

No visual compromise

The mechanism is part of the identity, not something concealed behind plastic.

The training

Two compact units.
More ways to train.

Designed for multiple exercises, not just one movement. With 1–50 kg of adjustable resistance on each side, B3 Trainer is conceived to support a full-body routine through different cable positions and attachments.

01 / Push

Bench press & shoulder press

Train your chest and shoulders with a suitable bench and press setup.

02 / Pull

Rows & biceps curls

Use cable-based pulling movements to train your back and arms.

03 / Lower body

Squats & more

Extend the routine to your legs with the appropriate cable arrangement and attachments.

The technology

Smooth resistance begins where ordinary brakes struggle.

Disc brakes are powerful and compact, but conventional layouts can grab or jerk during slow movement. The patented B3 Trainer architecture was developed to make low-speed friction more controlled.

01

Movement turns the disc

The training cable transfers human movement directly into disc rotation.

02

Adaptive pad arms respond

The pads are allowed limited co-movement with the disc before sliding begins.

03

Resistance feels controlled

The transition into motion is smoother, helping reduce grabbing, noise and vibration.

From principle to proof

The mechanism already works.

A functional prototype validates the core resistance principle. The next phase is compact product engineering, industrial testing and manufacturing development with the right strategic partner.
