"Fight the fat while watching TV"
BIONICGYM IS AVAILABLE IN TWO MODELS
AT HIGH LEVELS IT IS REASSURINGLY TOUGH. AT EASY LEVELS IT IS DECEPTIVELY EASY.
Work at whatever pace suits you. Use it at low levels working, say the equivalent of walking. Best at a standing desk. Obviously, as you increase the intensity you sweat and it becomes harder and then impractical to work. At higher intensities people play video games or watch tv. It’s tough, yes but you know you're training hard.

THE SCIENCE-Y BIT BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Nature’s way of creating heat or burning calories is to shiver. As you get colder you shiver more intensely but at the same rate (7-8Hz). This is because the energy consumption is not related to the force or tension generated but rather the shortening and lengthening of the muscle fibers. What happens is that more muscle fibers contract and relax at this magic rate for maximal calorie burn per muscle fiber.
Impulses through the BionicGym Wraps stimulate the motor-neurons [nerves-to muscles] in the legs and glutei [bum] telling them to contract repeatedly. (They relax or lengthen by themselves). If enough muscle is actively contracting at optimal rates they will shout out for blood to supply the oxygen and energy. Your cardiovascular system [heart and blood vessels] works harder to deliver this blood, i.e. it trains. You’ll become more breathless and in time heat up – even sweat… after all it is nature’s way to warm up. Crazy right?
BionicGym has been subject to numerous scientific studies and published in indexed, peer-reviewed journal. The technology has been supported by European Space Agency, Enterprise Ireland, Bio-Medical Research Ltd, Hull University (UK), and University College Dublin (Ireland).

TIMELINE
In the Spring of 2000, Louis got into the cold Atlantic Ocean so that he could observe the movement of shivering. He realised that as he got colder he didn't shiver faster, but in fact, more and more of him shivered at the same rate (~7-8Hz) until even his teeth were chattering. And more importantly, nature's way to burn calories without moving was not dependent on generating muscle tension or moving the joints.
Since then, the technology has been through many iterations, improving all the time. We've developed it and researched it with companies (special thanks to BMR Ltd) with University College Dublin and hospitals in Ireland and UK.
In 2019 we got FDA clearance and started shipping. (Users doing great and loving it!).
We believe BionicGym will help many millions be fitter, healthier and happier. However, we can only take the next step to design this for mass manufacture with your support.
Lastly, thank you for your time. With your help we will deliver this product, helping people be fitter, healthier and perhaps even happier! Please share and if you can pledge, please do.
