Strength Training Wearable Debuts
The Fort, a new strength-training wearable from ex-Tesla engineers, tracks bar velocity for weightlifters, bringing elite-level performance analytics to the masses [https://www.wired.com/story/fort-strength-training-wearable-launch/].
The Fort aims to provide data previously only accessible to elite athletes and coaches. It measures bar velocity, a key indicator of strength and power output that helps optimize training. The device attaches to any barbell and wirelessly transmits data to a mobile app. This allows lifters to track their progress and adjust their training in real-time. The Fort was developed by engineers who previously worked at Tesla, bringing a tech industry approach to fitness. Their goal is to make data-driven strength training more accessible and affordable.
