Designed specifically for lifters, the new Fort wearable automatically tracks reps, velocity, range of motion and proximity to failure, delivering muscle-specific insights and a post-workout \u201cSession Score\u201d to quantify strength gains<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Some wearables are better suited for tracking certain activities and metrics than others. Garmin is a staple among runners, while Whoop is a favorite for looking at strain and recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a team of Tesla engineers behind the tech startup Fort is introducing a wearable entirely dedicated to specifically to strength training, quantifying volume and providing strength-tailored insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screenless device automatically tracks strength sessions with over 50 exercises recognized without the need to manually log what you\u2019re doing. The Fort wearable<\/a> also tracks velocity, range of motion and effort from each rep, while drawing from movement kinematics and heart rate to decipher true muscular effort and proximity to failure per set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After each session, users can analyze their workouts via Fort\u2019s \u201cSession Score,\u201d which gauges how intense and productive their training was using data from the exercises, sets, reps, velocity, rest times, heart rate and training goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diving deeper, Fort also provides per-muscle breakdown to figure out whether each muscle group worked saw maintenance, growth or overload from the workout. Its proximity to failure metric also helps users understand how hard they pushed on each set based on tracked changes in velocity and movement pattern during the workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From all of this strength-specific data, users can then see if they are building strength, maintaining or plateauing in their current routine. Fort will provide personalized insights based on that data, such as recommended workouts to hit certain muscle growth goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the wearable is primarily built for strength training, Fort also tracks cardio, total steps and calories, sleep \u2014 with deep, light and REM tracking each night \u2014 as well as stress and recovery with overnight HRV measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wearable is now available for pre-order<\/a> and is set to ship Q3 this year. Its founding member price is set at $289, and will later retail for $349. Pre-orders come with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
