Nature’s way of creating heat or burning calories is to shiver.
We use Nature’s hack for burning calories...
How it works
BionicGym is an “App and a Wrap” that delivers vigorous exercise as you watch TV - or easy calorie-burn as you work.
The wraps go around your thighs and impulses contract your leg muscles. You control it from your phone.
At high intensity it increases your heart rate, you sweat, you become breathless. You can even get a runner’s high. The only device in the world capable of doing this - it is genuinely revolutionary - read how...
Fitness Training
Clinical studies show increased VO2max (lab test for aerobic fitness) in just 6 weeks.
Energy
Feel fresh and energized. At high intensities you can even get a runner’s high.
Weight loss
Burn calories even while working. Sustainable weight loss = diet + exercise. BionicGym can be your exercise.
Gentle on your joints
No need to pound the streets.
First, consider this:
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.
Dr Louis, inventor of BionicGym, explains it from a medical perspective
What happens is that more muscle fibers contract and relax at this “biologically special” rate. And that’s where the BionicGym “magic” comes in. Impulses through the BionicGym wraps stimulate the motor-neurons (nerves-to-muscles) in the legs and gluteal muscles (bum), telling them to contract repeatedly. (The muscles relax or lengthen by themselves).
This underlying technology, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) - also known as EMS and TENS - has been around for 60-70 years. It was thought that this technology could not provide aerobic exercise. (Even the FDA thought it wasn’t possible.) BionicGym has changed all that.
By inducing enough muscles to actively contract at optimal rates, they shout out for blood to supply oxygen and energy. When that happens, your heart pumps harder and faster to deliver this blood.
The result is that BionicGym trains both your cardio system and your muscles. You become more breathless and in time heat up – even sweat. After all, shivering is nature’s way of warming you up.
"I've done thousands of mini-experiments to optimize the technology… and then followed up with peer-reviewed scientific studies."
These studies show that the technology stimulates your muscles in a way that uses sugar as the main energy source - like intense exercise, as opposed to walking or easy exercise. I’ve done these studies in universities and hospitals in three countries.
We’ve even worked with the European Space Agency and tested it in zero gravity. (Proving there's no need to pound your joints to get aerobic exercise). I’ve suffered for and been elated with the science. Please feel free to read more on our website and also read the peer-reviewed scientific publications. If you want, you can also see BionicGym reviews and success stories. I hope that you find BionicGym useful for yourself, as well.
With Gratitude,
Dr Louis
