A compact tibialis trainer
We are building Tibraise for stronger knees and ankles. No awkward setup. No bulky equipment.
Tibraise is a compact tibialis trainer for weighted tib raises. Load the weight, sit down, and start. Train both legs together or one at a time — from an ordinary chair, with a stable design that’s easy to carry and store.
Load it on the floor.Train from a chair.
This early functional prototype shows the intended setup and movement: load a standard weight plate while Tibraise rests on the floor, sit on an ordinary chair, slide one or both feet into position, and perform controlled tib raises.
- Place Tibraise on the floor.
- Load a standard weight plate.
- Sit on an ordinary chair and slide your feet into position.
- Perform controlled dorsiflexion by lifting your forefeet toward your shins.
- Train both legs together or one leg at a time.

FAQ
What is tibialis anterior training?
Tibialis anterior training targets the muscle along the front of the shin. The tibialis anterior is a primary ankle dorsiflexor, helping lift the forefoot toward the shin and control the foot during walking. It can be trained with toe raises, resistance bands, tib bars, or dedicated machines.
How can I train my tibialis anterior at home?
Heel-supported toe raises and resistance-band dorsiflexion require little equipment and can be performed at home. For progressive weighted training, you can use a tib bar or a compact tibialis trainer. Tibraise is being developed for weighted single-leg or double-leg training from an ordinary chair.
Do I need a gym bench to use Tibraise?
No. Tibraise is designed to be used from an ordinary chair. Load the weight, sit down, position your feet, and start training without balancing the trainer while getting into place.
Can Tibraise train one leg at a time?
Yes. Tibraise is designed for both single-leg and double-leg tibialis training. Switching between the two does not require tools, a separate trainer, or a complicated adjustment mechanism.
Is Tibraise stable during single-leg training?
Yes. Tibraise remains supported by the floor during single-leg training rather than hanging freely from one foot. Its transverse floor-contacting tube stays in contact with the floor while the rigid frame rocks through the movement.
What is the difference between a tib bar, a tib machine, and Tibraise?
A traditional tib bar is compact and portable, but it is generally designed for two-leg training and can be awkward to position. A tib machine offers a stable setup but occupies dedicated floor space and is difficult to move. Tibraise is being developed to combine a compact format with floor-supported, chair-based single-leg and double-leg training.
Will Tibraise fit different shoe sizes?
The design is intended to accommodate a wide range of shoe sizes while keeping the foot securely positioned. Comfort and fit across different shoes and foot sizes are still being tested before the final design is confirmed.
How is Tibraise being tested before launch?
We observe people loading the trainer, getting into position, switching between training modes, and completing repetitions with working prototypes. Those observations guide changes to stability, setup, foot positioning, and comfort. The photographs on this page show current testing and fabrication work; final production details may change.
