1. A special word of thanks!

We believe that BionicGym will make the world a little better. Almost 20

years ago, I had a vision for a technology that could greatly improve quality

of life by making it easier for people to exercise.

I sincerely appreciate all those supported this vision over the years. Thank

you to the kind and brilliant people in hospitals, universities, space agency

and companies who helped push this technology and prove its

effectiveness. And to the many volunteers who partook in our studies.

A heartfelt thanks to my friends and family who put up with me, believed

in me and encouraged me all these years.

A huge thank you to the Indiegogo Backers of BionicGym. After trying

everything to bring this technology to market, your support made it finally

possible. Our success is your success.

About the company you’ve helped sustain:

We will try to always act in people’s best interests. We will give 10% of

disbursed, after-tax profits to charity, 10% in-kind and 10% to our staff

(exact details of how this will be done will be considered when we employ

staff!) We will concentrate on products that will improve lives.

Sincerely,

Dr Louis Crowe, Inventor & CEO

2. Overview: Exercise happily, safely and

comfortably

Congratulations!

You are one of the first owners of BionicGym –a wearable exercise

machine.

EXERCISE IS WONDERFUL! Build BionicGym into your

life; make it a habit - part of your routine. Stick with

it, love it and enjoy the benefits.

LEARN TO USE: Read this manual and watch the

video tutorials before using. Check our website and

read our email updates. These contain important

safety guidelines.

ALWAYS TRAIN WITHIN YOUR LIMITS: If you are

young, fit and completely healthy, listen to your

body. Otherwise, check with your Doctor before

engaging in vigorous exercise of any sort, including

BionicGym.

ALWAYS THINK SAFETY FIRST: BionicGym contracts

your muscles. Never use while driving, operating

machinery, on stairs or at anytime you need full

muscle control or balance. Never use under the

influence of drugs or alcohol.

MEDICAL ISSUE? If you have a medical problem or

condition, get your Doctor’s approval first. This is an

exercise device for healthy adults.

BE AWARE: As with all forms of exercise, stop

training immediately if you feel unwell in any way,

including pain, dizziness or weakness. Then call your

doctor or seek help.

AUTO-STOP OPTION: The Auto-Stop option ramps

down the intensity every few minutes. (See chapter

10).

HEART CONDITION? Do not use if you have an

implant or heart condition. Read the list of contra-

indications in this manual.

Do NOT use if you are pregnant, nursing, or if you

have epilepsy. Read the full list of contra-indications

in this manual.

STAY IN CONTROL: You can press the orange button

to Pause a session or a longer press will switch the

unit OFF (Press it until LED goes out). You can also

Pause or Stop a session via the app. In an emergency,

you could also remove the control unit from the

pocket.

3. Tips to get the most out of BionicGym

TAKE IT EASY at first: Start easy, increase gradually but

steadily (even fit bodies need to get used to it!). Start with

the Beginner Programs. Train regularly to improve. We

recommend at least three sessions per week for the first

two weeks.

ROUTINE: Get into a routine / habit and keep to it. For

example, you could set a personal rule only to watch TV at

home while using BionicGym. Reward yourself when you

work-out too (not with food if weight conscious!).

Net/TV/Game/Work:Distract yourself as you exercise

(assuming it is safe). Watch a program, play a videogame,

read or (at low levels) work on your computer.

ENJOY! Enjoy your sessions: enjoy the feelings of freshness

and the many benefits exercise brings to your life.

4. Safety Information

BionicGym is an exercise device for the healthy adults. It gives you a

workout by exercising the legs. Use in safe situations and settings.

INTENDED USE:

The BionicGym is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to

exercise, improve or facilitate muscle performance. It is not intended to be

used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or

medical conditions of any kind. None of the training programs or

operational parameters are designed to target injured or ailing muscles.

Contra-indications:

Do not use BionicGym if:

•You have an electronic implant (e.g. cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator).

Consult your doctor if you have any other heart problem prior to using.

•You are pregnant, or have given birth, or had a caesarean section within

the last three months.

•You suffer from cancer, epilepsy, or are under medical supervision for

cognitive dysfunction.

•You recently had acute trauma or subject to a surgical procedure - seek

your Doctor’s advice.

•Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed

areas or skin eruptions, e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins,

etc.

•If you suffer from any vascular problems, including clots /DVTs.

You should ask your doctor if it is safe for you to exercise (any

exercise, including BionicGym) especially if you are injured, over

40, smoke, are obese or diabetic, have heart disease or any

potentially serious condition.

Warnings

The long-term effects of chronic electronic stimulation are

unknown.

Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus

nerves, particularly in individuals with a known sensitivity

to the carotid sinus reflex.

Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth.

Severe spasm of the neck or airway muscles may occur

and the contractions may be strong enough to close the

airway or cause difficulty in breathing.

Stimulation should not be applied near your heart in that

the introduction of electrical current into the heart may

cause cardiac arrhythmias.

Stimulation should not be applied on your head.

Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to,

cancerous lesions.

Do not use in close proximity (e.g. 1m) to shortwave or

microwave therapy equipment, as this may produce

instability in the controller’s output.

Do not use if injecting drugs /medicines into your thighs.

Do not resell BionicGym or use BionicGym if you’ve

purchased a used one.

Precautions

Safety of powered muscle stimulators for use during pregnancy has not been

established.

Caution should be used for individuals with suspected or diagnosed heart

problems. Do not use unless your doctor recommends that it is both safe and

good for you.

Caution should be used for individuals with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy. Do

not use without your doctor’s permission.

Caution should be used in the presence of the following:

•When there is a tendency to haemorrhage (bleed) following acute trauma

or fracture.

•Following recent surgical procedures when muscle contraction may

disrupt the healing process. Do not use without your doctor’s permission.

•Over the menstruating or pregnant uterus.

•Over areas of the skin which lack normal sensation.

Some individuals may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the

electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium.

Electrode placement and stimulation settings should be based on the guidance of

this manual.

BionicGym should be kept out of the reach of children.

BionicGym should be used only with the leads and electrodes

recommended for use by the manufacturer.

BionicGym must never be used while driving, operating machinery, or

during any activity in which involuntary muscle contractions may put

the user at undue risk of injury.

Adverse Reactions

Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes have been reported with the use

of powered muscle stimulators.

Note: It is normal for there to be mild skin redness after a stimulation session. This

should disappear within a half hour.

Important

Do not over-exert yourself when using muscle

stimulation. Any workout should not exceed your

comfort level.

Stop using the product if you are feeling light headed or

faint, have pain or breathlessness -beyond what you’d

expect with the exercise. Consult your doctor if this

happens or if in any doubt.

Do not touch the electrodes or metal studs with your

fingers while the controller is switched on / during use.

Never use BionicGym over open wounds or damaged

skin or if you have abnormal feeling. If you have a minor

nick, cut or bite you can mask that with a small band-

aid. (Only use BionicGym on clean, healthy, intact skin).

BionicGym is intended for adults (over 16 years old). If

you are 16-18 years old, you must get a parent’s or

guardian’s permission.

Always follow the guidelines, watch the tutorials and

read the whole manual before use. Only use BionicGym

as directed in this manual

ONLY use BionicGym when and where it is safe for you

and others. It contracts your muscles which you need

for balance and control. Wear flat shoes.
