Efficient. Safe. Scientific.
We use science to improve every aspect of our lives from travel to work to medicine. Exercise hasn’t kept up. We’ve all heard for years: Want to get strong? Lift heavy things. Want to improve your cardio? Get on the treadmill for an hour.
Science says there’s a better way.
Yes, it’s possible. Here’s how.
Exercise is a stimulus to the body. The body takes that stimulus and adapts to it; strengthening muscles, making your circulatory system more efficient, building bone tissue, etc.
To do this as safely and efficiently as possible we should use the minimum stimulus to create the desired adaptation in the body. Studies have shown that the right intensity of stimulus for short periods of time are as effective (and often MORE effective) at producing those changes.
Our machines are based on these principles and tuned to be adaptive to your body so you can always be sure that your workout is as efficient and effective as possible while also being substantially safer.
This translates to just minutes in the gym per week vs. hours with traditional exercise.
Sound too good to be true? I know. Check out the resources below to dive deeper into the technology and science supporting them.
“ARX is a computer-controlled, motorized exercise technology that provides you with a safer, more effective, more quantified workout compared to traditional exercise tools.”
Here’s how it works: when we exercise, our strength capability is constantly changing, but if you are using traditional tools like weights, they do not account for these changes, forcing you to use a single weight. This is why you need to always change weights to adapt to our ever-changing bodies. Over-time, this is extremely inefficient and is a guessing game that cannot be won. You will never be able to choose the perfect resistance, 100% of the time.
This is where ARX fits in.
With ARX, the technology instantly and automatically adjusts to your changing level of strength so it’s the perfect amount of resistance, all the time, making your workouts as efficient and effective as possible.
This means you can achieve more of the benefits of exercise, and do so in just minutes per week.
About CAR.O.L.
What is CAR.O.L? CAR.O.L is an artificially intelligent highly specialized, custom-built exercise bike. The system delivers bespoke high-intensity interval training. It is the most efficient cardiovascular training system on the market today: users achieve the same results in 40 seconds of hard work (within a less than 9 minutes session) as they would with a 45-minute run.CAR.O.L.’s exercise protocols were designed by Dr. Niels Vollaard, a world-leading researcher in HIIT. We have worked with him for 8 years to develop a hyper-efficient cardiovascular training system for everyone. The system collects real-time performance data to determine your maximum potential for exertion while you are riding. During the workout (what’s known in the industry as a ‘protocol’), CAR.O.L will ask you to pedal as fast as you can for 2 x 20 seconds while applying resistance to the flywheel. Because CAR.O.L is artificially intelligent, she knows the exact resistance you should work against during those two sprints to achieve optimum exertion (with over 280 resistance settings)
Why do you need CAR.O.L? No other exercise can achieve optimum exertion for the entire duration. Either people under, or over-exert themselves. Both are a waste of time. For maximum exertion in the shortest period of time, the balance between resistance and speed must be just right. Every time. CAR.O.L finds your personal sweet spot and as you get fitter, CAR.O.L adjusts resistance to keep this balance at its optimum. That is why only CAR.O.L reproduces the results from the lab in the real world.CAR.O.L measures your fitness as your Octane Score. It is a highly correlated proxy for VO2max without needing special equipment to analyze your exhaled air and running through a specific, time-consuming measurement protocol. It expresses the power your body can generate with every heartbeat. The fitter you get, the more power you can generate with fewer heartbeats.

Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna transmits light into the body, heating it up from the inside out. This allows deeper muscle penetration, better toxin removal and a much more tolerable temperature for breathing during longer treatments.
How does it work?
Infrared saunas use light instead of heat. Traditional saunas heat the air around you to heat you up. The invisible infrared sauna light penetrates our muscles to produce heat from the inside out. Our bodies then produce heat shock proteins that help our body repair damaged tissues. These proteins also help boost the immune system, metabolism and lower inflammation.
Platinum Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that helps skin, muscle tissue, and other parts of your body heal. It exposes you to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Infrared light is a type of energy your eyes can’t see, but your body can feel as heat. Red light is similar to infrared, but you can see it.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. A part of your cells called mitochondria, sometimes called the “power generators” of your cells, soak it up and make more energy. Experts say this helps cells repair themselves and become healthier. This spurs healing in skin and muscle tissue.
Red light therapy uses very low levels of heat and doesn’t hurt or burn the skin. It’s not the same type of light used in tanning booths, and it doesn’t expose your skin to damaging UV rays.
