OYO PERSONAL GYM LE FAQ

One of the most common questions we receive is on how to attach the FlexPacks. It can be a little bit tricky before you get used to it, so we put together a quick video.

• The 10lb FlexPack has to be attached first to the OYO Personal Gym unit. The 5lb won’t fit.
• Make sure the OYO Personal Gym is fully open and the cables taut. In the video below, Nick demonstrates some tips on how to do this easily.
• Make sure the FlexPack is being pushed in flush. All the FlexPack teeth should enter at the same time.
• Press the FlexPack in with the heal of your hand at the center. It helps with alignment and makes sure you’re putting in the right amount of pressure.

Also, one other thing to note: if you look at the FlexPack or OYO Personal Gym unit, you’ll notice that one of the teeth/grooves is flat and different than the others. This is by design and makes sure the FlexPack is entering at the right position.

Still having trouble attaching/detaching FlexPacks? A small amount of lubricant can be applied to the metal teeth on the FlexPacks.

To remove a FlexPack make sure the arms are fully extended with cables taut, get a good hold on the FlexPack and twist right a little bit while pulling out hard.

The FlexPacks can be difficult to take off, especially before you get used to it. Here are a couple of tricks:

• Only take off the top most FlexPack at a time.
• Make sure you are rotating clockwise — you should feel the FlexPack slightly lift off the other next FlexPack or base unit as you turn.
• Anchor the unit against your body — I hold the DoubleFlex with the FlexPacks facing out. My left hand is holding a handle & the other handle is between my right bicep & torso. I then remove the FlexPack off with my right hand.
• “Peal” the FlexPack off from the bottom — assuming you are taking it off with your right hand: rotate the FlexPack as far as you can (you’ll feel it pull away) counterclockwise and then rotate your hand so your palm faces up (pushing in with your pinky & pulling away with your thumb).
• Butter Knife and a friend — if the above still doesn’t work, grab a butter knife and a friend. Have one person twist the two FlexPacks so that they begin to separate. As they do, insert the butter knife into the gap and twist so that the butter knife applies force to help with separation.

In October of 2017, OYO Fitness changed the name of the DoubleFlex Black to OYO Personal Gym. The OYO Personal Gym is the same device as the DoubleFlex Black — we simply updated the name to better integrate the product name with our overall brand.

The OYO Personal Gym LE ships with one FlexPack already attached to the unit to make initial setup easier and the Personal Gym LE logo is printed on the unit. The DoubleFlex Black is shipped folded up and the DoubleFlex Black logo is printed on unit. Setup is otherwise exactly the same with the Black and LE.

Please watch the setup video at the top of this page which will walk you through the setup process. There are also detailed written instructions in the Product Guide that came with your product. If you have misplaced your Product Guide, click here to  download a pdf version.

The elastic sleeve on the cables helps keep the cables tidy when in use and also when folding the OYO Personal Gym. However, if you don’t like the elastic sleeve you can remove it and it will not affect the product’s function in any way, nor will it void any product warranties.
