Velocity-Based Training System
The gold standard of VBT, turning your patients' exercise programs into objective data. Now part of the VALD ecosystem.
TRAINING IS TESTING
Rehabilitation, quantified.
For more than two decades, GymAware has made sessions more measurable and more actionable. The same measurement supports rehabilitation.
A patient may lift the same load in consecutive sessions, but GymAware reveals what the eye can't see: Is velocity increasing? Is the injured side closing the gap?
More than sets, reps and weights
Prescribe load without a max test.
GymAware turns velocity into practical decisions: how much load to use, when to end a set and how a patient is responding from one session to the next.
- Give patients feedback on every repetition
- Auto-stop if velocity drops below a threshold
- Compare limb asymmetry during programmed exercises
DOZENS OF EXERCISES
Measure the exercises
your patient already performs.
GymAware takes VBT beyond barbell-based exercises, measuring machine-based, cable and bodyweight exercises commonly used in rehabilitation.

VBT ACROSS REHABILITATION PHASES
From early loading
to return to activity.
- Early stage
- Mid stage
- Late stage
- 1
- 2
- 3
Add real-time external focus
Velocity gives patients a target on every rep. Measure the uninjured limb too, to set a benchmark for the injured side.
Set load and volume, without a 1RM test
Prescribe load based on a load-velocity profile. Manage volume and fatigue based on velocity-loss thresholds.
Pinpoint what limits return
Distinguish force from velocity limitations, and track changes in strength, velocity and power.
GOLD-STANDARD ACCURACY
The most researched
and proven VBT technology.
Clinical decisions depend on the data behind them. You need to trust that the numbers accurately represent your patient's progress.
Tested, researched and validated in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, GymAware is the standard against which all other VBT technology is judged.
GYMAWARE MODELS
Two models. One standard.
GymAware is available in two models, each with a distinct measurement method but both maintaining GymAware’s gold-standard accuracy and reliability.
The gold standard, most trusted and most powerful VBT technology. Linear position transducer technology with built-in angle correction.
Highly compact, entry-level laser-based VBT technology for barbell exercises.
When we go through an injury, like an ACL or shoulder injury, velocity is usually one of the quickest things to lose and often the last thing to return to a strong, healthy joint or muscle. So, we want to make sure that we have a way to measure it.
