Frequently Asked Questions

Core Flytes are very different from all other "sliding/gliding/rolling" products (such as Gliding Disks, Valslide, Slidez, Ab Dolly, etc.) and offer a unique experience to users for many reasons:

1. Move in all directions to add a stability component to all exercises: Core Flytes provide a completely different user experience. Core Flytes are about stability and control as opposed to force. Specifically, other products with wheels or flat smooth surfaces can only move well across the floor in one direction at a time, requiring the user to apply force in that direction and force to change direction. Core Flytes, however, move freely along multiple axes because they feature omni-directional ball bearings.

2. Use on multiple surfaces: No other product moves freely on all common gym and home surfaces, including non-slip rubber, carpet, wood, concrete, etc.

3. Facilitates both stationary and dynamic (moving) exercises: Users must stabilize the Core Flytes when performing exercises that require keeping them stationary, like pushups or planks for example. Core Flytes also require more effort to control or stabilize when performing dynamic exercises like lunges and ab rollouts.

4. Increase muscle activation for core, major muscles, and secondary muscles: Core Flytes can move freely along multiple axes while under load, requiring little or no force to change direction at any moment. This requires the user to activate more secondary and supporting muscles - plus core and abdominal muscles - to stabilize the Core Flytes during any exercise.

Core Flytes are effective for all levels of fitness. We do, however, recommend a weight cut off of 300 pounds as a safety pre-caution. The Core Flyte package includes safety precautions and there are streamable online workout series that demonstrate how to modify exercises for beginner, intermediate and advanced users.

Core Flytes work on most surfaces, but they perform optimally on a flat, hard surface – most floors are perfect! One interesting aspect of Core Flytes is that you can make the exercises more challenges or easier varying the surface used. For example, Core Flytes move extremely easily on a wood floor, which means they are more difficult to control, and this creates a more difficult exercise experience than on a surface that offers greater friction (e.g., short carpet). The more friction created by the surface, the easier the exercise becomes as less stability is required.

Core Flytes move on tight loop carpet. However, if you have thick or plushy carpet they won't move too well and we would recommend finding an alternative surface for them.

Core Flytes are made with nylon balls specifically designed not to mark hardwood or vinyl floors, so they shouldn't cause any issues. We haven't tested Core Flytes on every wood surface, however, so we always recommend caution when using them to avoid scratching the floor.

All it takes is a bit of unscented baby oil or sewing machine oil! We recommend avoiding WD40, grease, 3-in-1 cooking, or engine oil as these will cause the balls to stop rolling over time. A video showing how to clean can be found HERE.

This shouldn’t be a problem, but sometimes the balls can get sticky from a lot of use on certain surfaces. A video showing how to clean the balls to improve rolling can be found HERE.
