ARX machines are used in a $101M XPRIZE study to reverse biological aging.
Scientists competing for the largest prize in longevity chose adaptive resistance — the category ARX pioneered and has spent 15 years perfecting — to rebuild strength in older adults.
The biggest prize in longevity science runs its strength training on adaptive resistance.
Every study, in one place.
Independent, published, and ongoing research on Adaptive Resistance Exercise™.

Leading longevity research runs on the category of equipment you can put on your floor — measured, time-efficient, safe for 55+ members.
ARX for business →The biomarkers this study tracks — strength, VO₂ max, function — are the ones you can train at home in two 15-minute sessions a week.
ARX for your home →Straight answers
Yes. The training arm of the ASU Team Healthspan study runs on adaptive resistance training, and ARX machines are used in that arm.
Not yet — the study is currently underway. Once results are published, they’ll be listed here.
Motorized, computer-controlled resistance that matches your exact force on every inch of every rep — no weights, no momentum, measured precisely. How it works →
