Train the muscle.
Not just the movement.

Meet ZELOS One — Z1 for short. A coin-sized sensor that reads your working muscle directly, so you can see how hard it worked, beat your historical best, and watch real strength build. Strength, running, cycling.

How it works

ZELOS One reads the muscle directly.

A coin-sized sensor and a skin-safe adhesive. It reads your muscle’s electrical activity and motion a thousand times a second, and streams it live to your phone and Apple Watch.

  • 01

    Am I using the right muscle?

    Live activation and recruitment, the moment you start the set.

  • 02

    Was that set productive?

    Set quality, stimulus and estimated fatigue, scored every set.

  • 03

    Push, rest, add weight, or stop?

    Real-time coaching from what the muscle is actually doing.

  • 04

    Am I actually getting stronger?

    Trends across sessions and weeks — progress you can see.

The signal underneath

Everything the muscle is telling you

Z1 reads the working muscle directly — so every rep, set and session becomes something you can actually see, score and act on.

Progress you can see

Beat your best — rep by rep, week by week.

Z1 holds your historical best as a live benchmark, then shows you where today lands — inside the set, and across the month.

One sensor, three ways to train

Strength. Running. Cycling.

Move Z1 to the muscle that matters. The signal follows the work.

Train to stimulus, not soreness

Live activation, set quality, estimated RIR, set-to-set and vs-PB, weekly stimulus and load progression.

Running

Is it your legs or your lungs?

Place Z1 on your quads, calves or hamstrings to read local muscular fatigue — alongside the heart rate and pace from your watch.

Cycling

A fresh-legs readiness signal

The same local-fatigue read on your quads and glutes — next to cadence and power, not instead of them.

Run and cycle are one more input for muscular fatigue — not a replacement for heart rate or power.

Three steps

From sticker to insight in seconds.

  1. 1

    Stick it on

    Place Z1 on the muscle you're training.

  2. 2

    Train normally

    Z1 detects your reps and sets automatically.

  3. 3

    See the work

    Live as you lift, and the trends after.

Why you can trust the number

Lab-grade signal. Consumer simple.

Under the hood, Z1 runs the kind of signal processing used in movement labs: band-pass filtering to isolate real muscle signal, spectral methods that track fatigue more reliably than raw amplitude, and per-user calibration so your numbers are comparable session to session — fused with motion for context.

You never see the raw EMG. Just the decision.

Why I built ZELOS

I'm a doctor in Melbourne. Every day I watch people train hard and still plateau, because the one number that matters — is the muscle actually doing the work — is invisible. Wrist wearables can't see it. So I built the thing I wanted: a sensor that sits on the muscle and tells you the truth, set to set.

Z1 is the first run. Forty of them. I'd love you to be one of the first to train this way.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need a subscription?

No — there's no subscription. Every feature, from live activation and automatic rep and set counting to analytics and coaching, comes with your Z1 and the ZELOS app.

Does it work with Apple Watch or Garmin?

Z1 pairs with your iPhone and Apple Watch today, and complements the heart rate, pace and power you already get from your watch. Broader Garmin support is on the roadmap — Z1 adds the muscle layer those devices can't see.

How does it attach? Is the adhesive reusable?

Z1 sits on a skin-safe adhesive pad over the target muscle. Your kit includes a starter pack of pads; pads are a consumable you replace as needed for the cleanest signal.

Is it accurate? How is it different from a fitness tracker?

A wrist tracker measures your body from the outside — heart rate, steps, motion. Z1 reads the working muscle directly with surface EMG, then turns it into simple, calibrated numbers. Like any wearable signal, readings are estimates and depend on good placement — but they're a signal no wrist device can give you.

Strength only, or run and cycle too?

All three. Strength is the most mature experience; for running and cycling you place Z1 on the working leg muscles to read local muscular fatigue as one more input alongside heart rate and pace.

Do I need an iPhone?

Yes — the launch app is built for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Shipping & returns

This first run ships to Australian addresses only, from 1 September 2026. Reserving today places no charge and carries no obligation — you confirm your order when units are ready.

Is this a medical device?

No. Z1 is a fitness and performance product. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
