Is HupSix Gear Safe?
Quick Answer
Yes, HupSix gear is safe. The bag is weighted with 20 pounds of steel shot so it stays in place, the bungee is secured with a climbing-grade swivel, and every part is tested, durable, and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
Is the Bag Going to Move?
The HupSix bag is filled with 20 pounds of Pennsylvania steel shot and sits on a neoprene non-slip mat. The mat is grippy and flexible, designed to keep the bag from sliding.
Can it still move? Yes, a little—but not enough to go sailing across the room. If it shifts, it usually means you’re standing too far from the bag or pulling with too much force.
This isn’t traditional resistance training. The aim is to work with the tension. Keep it engaged without letting it go slack. Don’t pull so hard that you drag the bag. That feedback is what helps you build proprioception—your body’s natural sense of position and movement.
What Does the Resistance Feel Like?
So what does that tension actually feel like in practice? HupSix isn’t a resistance-band workout. The bungee is intentionally light so you can move with a full, fluid range of motion and not risk injury.
The feel is closer to swimming than to strength training. You hold the handles the entire workout, and because there are no “stop and rest” sets, your body stays engaged the whole time.
This design builds functional strength through continuous movement. It also allows for training patterns you simply can’t do with any other equipment. That’s why it’s patented.
How Does the Swivel Keep It Tangle-Free?
Built into the bag is a military-grade Rock Exotica swivel—the same kind trusted by rock climbers and firefighters. It’s securely sewn into the bag and allows for smooth 360° rotation.
That means your twists, turns, and transitions feel natural and never get tangled. It’s one of the reasons HupSix feels more fluid and athletic.
Can the Bungee Snap Back?
No. The system is built as one continuous bungee that connects both handles and is secured to the swivel with a cow knot. It cannot come toward your body.
If you drop a handle, it naturally falls back toward the bag and usually lands right on it, acting like its own stopper.
This setup has been tested for over 5 years in live classes and at-home workouts. Every component is military-grade, securely fastened, and covered by a lifetime guarantee.
Are the Socks Safe for My Joints?
Yes. The HupSix socks go over your sneakers and make it easy to twist and turn safely.
-
Half socks are for smooth floors.
- Full-foot socks are for carpet.
They reduce strain on ankles, knees, and hips by letting your feet pivot instead of stick. That means less torque on your joints and safer movement.
Will the Mat Damage My Floor?
The mat sits under the bag to keep it stable. It has never stained a floor in testing, but all surfaces are different. Like any yoga mat, it’s best to move it occasionally and avoid direct sunlight.
When not in use, store everything inside the bag. Elastic straps keep the handles, bungee, socks, and mat secured in one place.
