There is no need to set the resistance while using ARX. The machine applies perfect opposing resistance in direct proportion to the force the user is producing at each moment in time. The machine moves the handles or foot pads at the pre-selected speed during the positive and negative phases of contraction regardless of how hard a user exerts. The resistance provided by the machine is determined entirely by the user, whose effort is then measured and displayed by the software in real time.

The drive system and load cell are integrated with the motor controller system, both of which communicate with the software in a feedback loop. Numerous user data points like force output, range of motion, speed, percentage of fatigue, concentric and eccentric peak forces, and more are all tracked and displayed by the software. Additionally, this data is stored in the ARX cloud, where useful and motivational visual feedback of the data is displayed in the user’s online dashboard.

ARX is safe for all forms of rehabilitation, offering the full spectrum of resistance ranging from passive resistance (stretching) all the way to eccentric loading (negatives). There are no weights to drop, the speed is pre-set and controllable, and the machine can never act upon the user without the user first acting on the machine. This means that a user can never encounter any level of force that they themselves did not first produce, and this never-excessive scenario dramatically lowers the risk of injury.

The body’s adaptive response of building stronger, bigger muscles is provoked primarily by the application of three elements at the muscle level: mechanical tension, physical damage, and metabolic stress.

These stimuli can all be applied through the use of weights, but ARX’s adaptive resistance allows you to apply all three elements in greater magnitudes, more safely, and more quickly than with any weight. So for those looking for a pump, more muscle mass, or just looking to build a more aesthetic physique, ARX is the best tool currently available for these purposes.

ARX can be used once per week, every day per week, once per month, or anywhere in between.

The most common ARX program followed by ARX users involves 1 to 2 full-body workouts per week for ~12 minutes per workout.
