Impact
Efficiency Boost: It drastically reduces downtime between sets, allowing users to focus more on their workout. In gyms, it improves overall productivity by enabling quicker transitions between different users or weight changes.
Increased Safety: The automation of loading and unloading weights reduces the risk of injury, especially for those who train alone. Lifters can avoid accidents caused by improper loading techniques or overexertion while manually handling heavy weights.
Wider Accessibility: It opens up heavy lifting to more people, including beginners and those with mobility limitations, who may struggle with handling plates manually. This inclusion expands weight training access to a broader audience.
Enhanced Workout Experience: By integrating technology, it improves the user experience with smart tracking and real-time feedback, encouraging better performance and allowing for more personalized training programs.
Commercial Gym Optimization: For gyms, this machine increases member satisfaction by providing a high-tech, user-friendly feature that sets them apart from competitors, and helps to manage gym traffic more effectively.
What I'll do with $5,000
With $5,000, Chris Bagley will collaborate with Broadview Product Development to create detailed plans and build a prototype of the automated free weight loading machine for the bench press. This investment will help turn the concept into a functional model, laying the foundation for further testing, refinement, and eventual production.
