To get started, download the Gx App.

For the Sweat Patch to work properly, keep in mind that the temperature should be between 47-95 °F and the workout duration should be between 20-120 minutes. Download: Apple store | Google play

Athlete working out

Before workout, apply the patch to your inner left forearm.

Clean and sanitize your inner left forearm before applying the patch. Make sure there is no lotion, sunscreen, or spray tanner on your skin. Let the area dry, so it’s free of sweat or moisture. Firmly press down for 10 seconds to seal the patch.

Work out for 20 minutes to 2 hours while wearing the Sweat Patch

The orange channel doesn’t need to fill completely, but you’ll need to see some color in the sweat rate (orange) channel to get a result.

At the end, scan your patch with the Gx App to see results.

Scan before your cool down or other workout activities while it’s still on your arm after your activity. Make sure there’s enough light on the patch and you’re not moving when you take the photo. That’s it! You saved your first sweat profile in Gx. You can reuse this profile for the same activity in similar conditions in the future.

Frequently asked questions

A sweat profile is a collection of data that tells us how you sweat during a specific activity, the important minerals you lose when you sweat, and how we can best combat that through personalized recommendations in future programs and activities.

You slap on a Gx Sweat Patch and do a sweat test. Don't worry, it's not complicated and you can do it anywhere. If you already have a Smart Gx Bottle, the intake recommendations from your sweat profile will be in addition to your daily Smart Bottle goal.

Sweat tests are relatively simple but super important. Just put on a Gx Sweat Patch, select an activity you do often (running, cycling, basketball, ect.) and then do it at high intensity for a specified amount of time. Once you're done, you'll scan the patch to get the results.

Once you've completed a sweat profile, we'll be able to provide ultra-personalized recommendations whenever you engage in a simliar activity in similar conditions.

We recommend adding sweat profiles for any activity you do often. The more profiles you have, the more personalized your programs become.
