Who should buy which
Time-compressed founders, longevity-focused buyers wanting strength training in 12 min/week, home wellness installs with strength as a priority. The Tim Ferriss / Peter Attia tier.
You enjoy traditional gym training and have 3-5 hours/week for it. You don't want a single-purpose ~$25K piece of equipment.
Family-office wellness installations. Athletes wanting time-compressed performance + recovery. Buyers in homes with dedicated wellness rooms.
You're skeptical of the multi-modality compression+cooling+EMS combination, or you can't justify $26K+ for a 21-minute-session apparatus.
