See the muscle work
Live muscle activation and a real EMG trace, the moment you start the set.
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.
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.
Am I using the right muscle?
Live activation and recruitment, the moment you start the set.
Was that set productive?
Set quality, stimulus and estimated fatigue, scored every set.
Push, rest, add weight, or stop?
Real-time coaching from what the muscle is actually doing.
Am I actually getting stronger?
Trends across sessions and weeks — progress you can see.
Z1 reads the working muscle directly — so every rep, set and session becomes something you can actually see, score and act on.
Live muscle activation and a real EMG trace, the moment you start the set.
Every set scored 0–100 from how close you trained to failure, how fast you fatigued, and how hard the muscle worked — then weighted to your goal.
A per-exercise Strength Index where 100 is your baseline — real strength trend without waiting on bodyweight.
Plain coaching from what the muscle is doing — when to push, rest, add load or stop.
Progress you can see
Z1 holds your historical best as a live benchmark, then shows you where today lands — inside the set, and across the month.
Every rep's peak output, plotted live against your all-time best line. A breakthrough — or an off day — shows up mid-set, not weeks later.
Switch the window and see exactly where today's session sits against your own history — green when you've beaten it, grey when you're below.
One sensor, three ways to train
Move Z1 to the muscle that matters. The signal follows the work.
Live activation, set quality, estimated RIR, set-to-set and vs-PB, weekly stimulus and load progression.
Place Z1 on your quads, calves or hamstrings to read local muscular fatigue — alongside the heart rate and pace from your watch.
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.
The device
Three steps
Place Z1 on the muscle you're training.
Z1 detects your reps and sets automatically.
Live as you lift, and the trends after.
Why you can trust the number
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.

The drop
This is the first production run of Z1 — 40 units, shipping Tuesday 1 September 2026, to Australia only. When they're gone, the next run isn't scheduled.

Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes — the launch app is built for iPhone and Apple Watch.
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.
No. Z1 is a fitness and performance product. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
40 units. Australia. Ships 1 September 2026. When they're gone, they're gone.
