The Future of Training at Home and Beyond
Blake Kassel and I break down how Flexicon’s band-based design delivers free-weight feel, safer joints, speed training, and versatile workouts for every age.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Blake Kassel, the creator behind Flexicon and a pioneer in modern resistance training. We talk about designing a band-driven system that replicates the feel of free weights while reducing joint stress through linear resistance. Blake explains why training for speed matters, how the machine supports full-body strength, flexibility, and cardio, and why teens, pros, and older adults all feel safer without a spotter. We get into real-world use in my home gym, compact setup and steel build, and the growing library of guided workouts. After three decades of iteration, Blake’s vision lands on a smarter path to long-term performance.
