Up to 5 people per household can use the same set of dumbbells, all under a single Kabata membership.
Yes! The Kabata app will be released to both iOS and Android.
The Kabata dumbbells were designed to be space-saving, compact, and functional for all spaces. Keep them in a bedroom, home gym, office -- wherever you find yourself getting your workout in.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are required to connect the dumbbells with the Kabata mobile app. However, you are able to still use the dumbbells on their own if connectivity isn’t available.
While basic functions such as weight adjustment do not require the Kabata app, the app is recommended for the best user experience. The Kabata app is available on both iOS and Android.
While anywhere you have an outlet is ideal to keep the dumbbells charged, Kabata does not need to be plugged in while in use.
Kabata is designed for standard US wall outlets. To ensure an uninterrupted experience, it should be plugged into a dedicated outlet for optimal performance. Once charged, Kabata does not need to be plugged in during use.
The entire Kabata unit takes up less than 2 x 2 sq. ft. of space, combining 12 sets of dumbbells in an incredibly compact design.
The Kabata app will have over 30 unique dumbbell moves at launch. Our goal is to continue to build out our workout library to over 200 moves!
Kabata is the only dumbbell in the world that counts your reps for you, tracks your workout metrics in real-time, and uses the data to coach and progress you.
Its unique features including automatic rep counting, automatic weight changing, haptic feedback, real-time analytics, form correction, and velocity-based training (VBT) are unprecedented in the free weights category. Its all-in-one sleek, minimalist aesthetic, which has won several design awards, also adds to its uniqueness.
The dumbbells are predominantly composed of steel and iron, which drives the weight of the product. These metal plates are then covered in a premium overmold, allowing the dumbbells to slide in and out of the base smoothly.
Kabata is produced in partnership with top manufacturers in Asia, who specialize in high-quality consumer products.

The subscription can be shared by up to 5 members within a household. If there is no active subscription, the dumbbells can still be used on their own but without any of the advanced features, analytics, coaching or workout content.
