Question the Question

Questioning Limits to Transform Aquatic Training

The collaboration between GMX7 and ROBRADY to revolutionize aquatic resistance training began with recognizing the shortcomings of existing resistance training equipment. The apparatus, known for its large size, high cost, and limited resistance capabilities, provided only single-direction resistance.

ROBRADY, following our innovation principles, chose to question these limitations and saw an opportunity to deliver a solution that transcended traditional methods. With this directive as the starting point, they embarked on a journey of innovation guided by their commitment to challenge the status quo and cultivate curiosity.

Offering bi-directional resistance and on-the-go adjustability, the X1-PRO has surpassed the expectations of athletes and trainers alike, setting a new standard for excellence in the industry.

Thanks to the partnership between GMX7 and ROBRADY, the X1-PRO has emerged as a transformative tool that empowers athletes to reach their full potential in the water.
