Athos

Athos was created to Build Better Athletes* and they believe everyone with a body is an athlete. Since their founding, they set out to leverage surface electromyography (sEMG) in a wearable form factor to track movement and muscular function anywhere the body is in motion. Going from failed experiments, to successful innovations and granted patents, they’ve since helped thousands of athletes - from professionals in all the major sports leagues and elite collegiate programs, to warfighters in multiple branches of the U.S. military to individuals looking to get more from their workouts. All united with a common goal to train hard, train effectively, and train safely and ultimately, reach their highest potential. They’ve built experiences that deliver actionable insights that transform what it means to get personalized training that our athletes, coaches and leaders rely on. At Athos, they believe in getting the most out of every workout - and they’re just getting warmed up!
