Using a cutting edge optical sensor designed in-house, FLEX measures lift performance with laser accuracy and gives powerful real-time feedback through your smartphone.
FLEX allows individual athletes to train better, avoid injury and track their progress with accuracy. Using the same technologies and training methods as elite athletes, you can access real time metrics including Power, Velocity, Distance and Bar Path on each and every lift.
With the rise in popularity of Velocity Based Training, individual athletes are able to take advantage of the FLEX as a way to pre-determine their training load. Velocity Based Training uses velocity as a biometric feedback tool to gauge weight training on a day to day basis. Basically, velocity output helps dictate how much load you should be adding or removing on a particular set, or if you should move on and try a new exercise altogether.
There has never been an easier way to accurately measure your performance in the weights room. Whether you’re interested in validated metrics, keen to challenge your mates, or simply want to improve, FLEX is the perfect addition to your kit bag. Take the guesswork out of your sessions and train with FLEX; with Lift Intelligence.
VELOCITY: Maintain intensity and choose the optimum weight for every lift.
POWER: Immediate feedback on the performance of every lift and monitor results.
DISTANCE: Maintain range as you fatigue and improve overall technique.

Where can I find a FAQ or Help Guide for the FLEX unit?
GymAware has published an extensive resource library here where you can learn more about use of the FLEX sensor and app!
Does the Flex VBT sensor and app allow for data download/upload into a excel or google sheet document?
Not at this time. However, the concept is being considered for the future.
Between FLEX and VITRUVE VBT ENCODER, which one do you suggest for Olympic weightlifting? And why?
We would 100% suggest the Flex VBT sensor by GymAware, because it is not tethered. It is much better to Oly lift without the string!
Will it expand to android users?
We have been told they are working on an Android app, but do not know when it will be ready for market.
Do you guys have any information on the reflective mat. I can see that it comes in the pack, but can't see any actual information on that particular product?
The mat can be rolled or folded and is made of neoprene, similar to the thickness of a light Yoga mat.
Hi there, What would the shipping timeline be to order one of these to an address in Ontario, Canada? Heather
