New Fitness Tech: Strength Training
The Fort, a wearable strength training device from ex-Tesla engineers, tracks your sets [https://wired.com/story/fort-strength-training-wearable-launch].
The Fort uses sensors to measure force, velocity, and range of motion during exercises. This data is then used to provide feedback on form and track progress over time. The device is worn on the user’s wrists and ankles. It aims to bring data-driven insights to resistance training, similar to what wearables have done for cardio. The team behind The Fort includes former engineers from Tesla and Google. They saw a gap in the market for technology that could provide personalized guidance for strength training.
