Proteus System | 2021

Designers: Greg Janky and Treasure Hinds, Anvil Studios, Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA
Manufacturer: Proteus Motion, Inc., Brooklyn, New York, USA

Proteus Motion is reinventing strength training. Its Proteus System is a 3-dimensional physical trainer that provides 360° movement via a patented resistance controller that uses magnetic breaks to create the feeling of moving through liquid (ie; aquatic training on land). This low-impact exercise benefits users ranging from post-op rehab to peak-performance athletes.

The stand-alone system is fully autonomous and requires zero set-up; a user can go through 17 different exercises in 4.5 minutes for a full body strength assessment. There is an opportunity for the Proteus System to be a part of the post-pandemic transformation of the gym space. During the global shut-down, Proteus Motion developed the new design, and the Proteus System launched in the Spring of 2021.
