X-GRIP
Tracking Barbells
What is it?
Sliding the X-Grip onto a barbell unlocks a wide range of possibilities that gymgoers haven’t had access to in the past.
Aside from securing your weights on the bar with an intelligent locking mechanism, the X-Grip tracks the movement of the barbell telling the user a plethora of new information.
Why is it a big deal?
Until now, when you lift weights in the gym, you only know two variables:
1. The amount of weight you lift.
2. How many times you lift the weight. That's it.
With the X-Grip, new variables are introduced. The acceleration, speed and force you apply to the barbell are metrics that have been unattainable without the X-Grip.
The possibilities are endless.
The X-Grip connects wirelessly to your phone and tracks your data for you. This allows the user to see detailed and specific progress on each exercise. It also allows the user to adjust their training programs to see better results.
