Volt Athletics announced the launch of Cortex, a performance training AI.
Volt, used by over 250,000 athletes and coaches in over 120 countries, stands out in the crowded health and fitness app landscape by combining decades of strength and conditioning research with advanced technologies and an ever-growing performance training dataset. The addition of Cortex enables Volt to dynamically adjust and evolve athletes’ training, providing real-time expert guidance during every workout.
“With the release of Cortex, Volt is bringing a new level of intelligence and personalization to the training technology space,” said Dan Giuliani, Volt co-founder and CEO. “The best athletes train on a strategic plan; they don’t do random workouts. Leveraging artificial intelligence, we are able to turn key performance metrics and user feedback into step-by-step guided instruction. Volt’s training is uniquely precise; we deliver the right workout for you every time you step in the gym.”
To ensure the training is based on the latest science and research, Giuliani, an adjunct professor of sport performance at the University of Washington and a certified strength coach, created the Volt Athletics Strength Coach Advisory Board, comprised of industry experts who oversee Volt’s training methodologies. The Board is chaired by the “Godfather of Strength and Conditioning,” Boyd Epley, who, according to ESPN, is “arguably the single most important individual in the history of strength and conditioning.”
“The technology behind Volt enables more athletes to train at a higher level than ever before,” said Epley. “Volt is changing the future of strength and conditioning.”
Volt offers a free seven-day trial via their website and a monthly subscription for $9.99/month. Athletes can choose from over 30 sport-specific training plans, including basketball, golf, tennis and skiing.
At the beginning of 2018, Volt announced a partnership with Gatorade. The partnership gives Volt athletes access to nutrition, hydration, recovery and motivational resources backed by Gatorade science. Recently, Volt made the Inc. 5000 list and was named the fifth-fastest-growing company in Seattle.
