Yes. All Inertia Wave models perform the same, and color is simply a preference. You control the intensity with how hard and fast you create the wave.

Listen for the wind sound. Every one of the 18 wave patterns in our beginner and advanced videos should produce a strong “whoosh.” No sound? Walk back to add tension, keep your feet no more than 12 inches apart, and follow the cues in the videos.

• Master the basics. Beginners and kids can start with one tube.
• Transition smoothly. Pick four wave patterns and move between them without stopping.
• Add movement. Layer in lunges, pop squats, side steps or figure-8 footwork.
• Combine upper and lower body while keeping the wave rhythmic.

Work in short, all-out bouts of 30 to 60 seconds, and use your perceived exertion (1–10) to judge intensity.

STRONG (most popular): wave training plus clip-on hand grips and belts for strength exercises. SOLO: the original anchored trainer for core and conditioning. DUO: the two-person model for partner and group training; never anchored.

STRONG has a loop running through and around each end cap, which is where the hand grips and two belts attach for upper- and lower-body strength work. STRONG is 5 inches shorter and has a resistance profile that allows it to stretch further during strength exercises.

Yes. Every SOLO beginner and advanced method can be performed with STRONG, with the hand grips removed.

Alternate strength sets using the grips or belts with wave patterns. For example, do a few sets for your back, unclip the grips, and go straight into your waves. That’s true metabolic conditioning.

Yes. Never clip the carabiner directly to an object. Skipping the rail anchor costs you a large share of the wave’s feedback, puts extra stress on the O-ring and tubes, and will shorten the life of your Inertia Wave. The carabiner always sits between the rail anchor’s D-ring and the tube’s O-ring.

As shown in Creative Ways to Anchor, anchor points should be at least 36–40 inches off the ground (about waist height) and 24–36 inches apart.

Keep the strap flat and wrap it tightly around your anchor point. Feed the D-ring through the strap’s loop and pull it tight three times, so the strap can’t slide up or down. Attach the carabiner to the D-ring and the tube’s O-ring, and make sure it’s fully closed. Use as much strap length as possible (don’t wrap it repeatedly to shorten it), and never anchor to sharp or jagged objects.

Use them only on a standard hinged door, closed fully. On doors without hinges you may damage the door anchor or the door.

• Length: at least 12.5 ft from the anchor point to your hands
• Width: at least 3 ft clear on each side
• Height: 7–8 ft of ceiling for some methods

Leave 4 ft clear, place your first anchor, then the second anchor 24–36 inches away. Skip 4 ft and repeat for the next set.

Never stretch SOLO or DUO like a resistance band. It’s not a bungee and can lose its integrity. Only STRONG is designed for stretching during strength exercises (see below).

No. The DUO has built-in wrist safety straps at each end, which are not designed to handle the oscillating force of being anchored. Never anchor your DUO.

• Length: at least 11.5 ft between partners’ hands (more for the Hurricane Walk)
• Width: at least 4 ft clear on each side
• Height: at least 7 ft for some methods

Yes. Wearing the safety straps is mandatory on the DUO at all times. Watch for sweaty hands and keep spectators clear. Never cut off the safety straps; doing so voids the warranty.

No. SOLO has a solid steel O-ring that can be dangerous if a partner lets go. The DUO uses tested safety straps instead.

Get creative with wave patterns, but never use the DUO as a resistance band or bungee, and never stretch it beyond 26 inches.

No. Remove the grips and belts for wave work. With them attached, the loop can’t oscillate properly, you lose the feedback response, and you can damage or pull out the loop.

For strength and core exercises using the grips or padded belts, STRONG can safely stretch up to 60 inches. You can also wear a belt around your waist, step out about 3 ft, and run in place.

Every Inertia Wave is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. See Safety & Warranty.

Lifespan depends on use and care. Inspect the full length of the tubes after every use, and replace them if you see nicks, cracks or splits.

You can, but alcohol can discolor and weaken the material over time, so wash it off afterward.

Keep them away from hand sanitizer, alcohol, salt water, chlorine and long exposure to direct sun or heat above 85°F. Wash with warm water and soap after use and store at room temperature.
