For the last week and a half, I've been in Taiwan for the Pilot Production Run of the OYO Gym DoubleFlex Black PRO. I've met with our suppliers and toured their factories, met with our PCB manufacturer and oversaw the first 50 PRO units being assembled. We successfully tested them with both our QA App and OYO Coaching App that connects via Bluetooth.  

I'm happy to report that everything worked great and the PRO units performed flawlessly. 

While I was there, I recorded a quick video at our assembly factory.

Backers, 

I can't believe that over 15 months ago we first launched the DoubleFlex Black and Black PRO on Kickstarter (second highest funded fitness product) followed quickly by Indiegogo. Since that time, we've shipped over 4,000 OYO Gym / DoubleFlex Black units worldwide via Kickstarter and Indiegogo. And we've developed the Black PRO and OYO Coaching App both of which are now scheduled to be released to you in July. 

We continue to be blown away by the support you've shown throughout this last year & a half. Thank you!

DoubleFlex Black PRO Update:

There's a lot happening regarding the DoubleFlex Black PRO, so we want to give a detailed update:

Delivery Timeline:

In February we announced that we had run into some issues with the sensors inside the circuit board which caused a production delay such that we'd be shipping in July. This timeline is still accurate, so if you ordered a PRO expect it to be shipped in July. We'll provide more details of when in the month it will ship as we know more. 

PRO Pilot Production Run:

Graham, OYO Fitness COO, is traveling to our factory in Taiwan to oversee the Pilot Production Run of the DoubleFlex Black PRO next week. He will be testing the first units off the production line with the OYO Coaching App to make sure they're working perfectly both mechanically and connecting seamlessly to the OYO Coaching App. 

OYO Coaching App:

The OYO Coaching App is almost done! The prototype works great with the DoubleFlex Black PRO linking data and providing real-time pacing feedback with the workouts.

Remember, the OYO Coaching App provides workouts for all our OYO Gym / DoubleFlex models. The PRO versions enables you to connects to the Coaching App via Bluetooth for real time coaching and feedback.

OYO Coaching App Release Timeline:

We'll be releasing the OYO Coaching App in conjunction with the DoubleFlex Black PRO in July via Apple iTunes store. 

OYO Coaching App with first be released for iOS:

Just so there is no confusion, the OYO Coaching App will be released for iOS to start. We had explored cross-platform development, but our app developer advised against it due to the complexity of BLE and the circuitry. They encouraged us to start with iOS and then develop for android once we had gotten first user feedback. 

Currently, our tentative plan is to release an Android version of the Coaching App by year end. This will allow us to learn from iOS users and improve the app before releasing to Android.

Any questions please email us at: [email protected].

OYO Coaching App Videos:

Yesterday, our Fitness Director Nick Bolton and our team spent over 10 hours recording 204 exercises for the Coaching App so that we can provide a large variety of workouts using the OYO Gym / DoubleFlex including: Cardio, Strength, Yoga, Pilates, and Treadmill / Walking.

Here's a couple shots from the day:

DoubleFlex Black and Pro Backers, 

OYO Fitness has now fulfilled over 4,200 DoubleFlex Black orders, and we are just about ready to start production on the DoubleFlex Black PRO that will connect via bluetooth to our OYO Coaching app. 

Thank you for your patience PRO backers! 

DoubleFlex Black PRO Update

Sorry that we've been a little bit silent on the PRO. We wanted to keep working until we had accurate information and updated timing for you.  

Video Update:

Nick Bolton (OYO Fitness Director) and Graham Ripple (OYO COO) recorded this video both showcasing the PRO and how it works with the forthcoming Coaching App, as well as explaining the development issues we've had and how they were resolved. 

PRO Pictures:

Here's a couple pictures of the PRO production sample and the interface with the Coaching App. 

The inside circuitry of the DoubleFlex Black PRO.

This is a zoom in of the PRO encoder teeth that we had an issue with and is now solved. Watch the video to learn more.

New Shipping Timeline:

Currently, the DoubleFlex Black PRO samples are at a test facility for FCC and RED certification. Once approved, we'll move directly into production of both the circuit boards (~ 1 month) and then the actual units (~ 4 - 5 weeks). 

Our new estimated ship date is July 2018. 

Here's why we love the DoubleFlex PRO:

Our team is incredibly excited by the PRO and the way it integrates with the Coaching App. Here's a couple reasons why:

Feedback & Advanced Metric — the PRO version of the Coaching App gives feedback after the workout, as well as advanced calculations of calories burned, work, etc.

Real Time Feedback — the Coaching App will count your reps, as well as giving pacing so that you know your reps are perfect and you're getting maximum results.

The video and screenshots above show why the DoubleFlex Black PRO is the ultimate fitness experience in the DoubleFlex product line. Connecting with the Coaching App via Bluetooth allows the Coaching App to not only accurately count your reps and calories burned in real time, but also gives you pacing and extension feedback to insure you're performing the movements correctly. We've also have upgraded features that will roll out in future versions of the Coaching App.

Just hold on a little longer — we can't wait to get the PRO into your hands so you can experience the benefits yourself!  

Join the OYO Facebook Group

One of the most important factors to making fitness a part of your lifestyle is having a strong support system. We are passionate about ensuring that our customers get the most out of their OYO Gym, and stay committed and engaged with new workout programs and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While achieving our goals is ultimately up to us as individuals, we can accomplish so much more together with community support and encouragement.

That's why Nick Bolton has created the OYO Fitness Group on Facebook. Challenge yourself and help motivate others, while joining a like-minded community of people across the globe who are committed to health and fitness. 

Joining the group is the BEST way to get your questions answered about OYO Personal Gym workouts, general fitness, and nutrition.

Customer Service

Our customer service team will continue to work diligently to get responses back to everyone within 24-48 hours, but we always see a dramatic increase in requests after an update. 

Please understand that for the next week or two our response time will most likely be slower than normal. 

Please do not send us multiple requests via multiple channels (ex. simultaneously send Kickstarter Message, Email and Facebook Message); this only slows us down. 

OYO is here to help you Fit Fitness Into Your Lifestyle. 

Thanks, 

Graham

DoubleFlex Black Backers,

The OYO Team wishes everyone a Happy New Year! 

We are so grateful to you for helping us bring the DoubleFlex Black to life in 2017. The DoubleFlex Black was the #2 most funded fitness device of all time on Kickstarter and in the top 99.98% of all projects. Since then we've continued to grow on Indiegogo coming so close to $1M in pre-sales between Kickstarter & Indiegogo. THANK YOU!! 

Cheers, 

OYO Fitness Team!
