5. The OMNI by ARX 

ARX being an acronym for “Adaptive Resistance Exercise” even though technically exercise is spelled with an “E” the letter X sounds much… much ..cooler. This machine is trying to revolutionize exercise and data flow. What the team at ARX is doing with Omni is that they are trying to bring the next innovation in strength resistance and software.

The OMNI matches any amount of effort and intensity you produce when working out. So basically whatever strength you have during resistance training the machines software will read and react accordingly and create the perfect resistance for your strength ability. Pretty neat huh? The OMNI does this using a motorized resistance machine which when using the data obtain by your physical strength will then match you 100% of the time so it accommodates your changing levels of strength. This not only creates an amazing efficiency in muscle build but also creates a safe exercise experience according to the team at ARX.

The software doesn’t just create this perfect resistance it shows you what’s going on at the same time with advance tracking software. Want to compete against your self from last week? Well all you have to do is look at the line chart on the monitor in front of you and push as hard as you can to beat your previous resistance. This will fill the hearts of all those competitive spirits out there. Beat your self every week, every month, every year and build your strength, pretty cool concept. This happens because the machine uses objective performance metrics to basically allow you to develop goals and benchmarks then go out there and try to crush them or slightly win by a few meters…either way a win is a win am I right?

So how much will one of these machines cost you? The price as of now is pretty concealed and the machine can currently only be bought in bulk which means that right now it seems to be geared towards businesses like fitness gyms and possibly physical rehab centers. So its safe to say the price may be pretty hefty. Watch the video below to see the OMNI in action.
