The Gx sweat patches are used with the Gatorade Gx app which I found kind of hard to use. It was a little clunky and I couldn’t input a workout that I was doing properly. Overall it told me that I needed 15g of protein and I needed to stretch after my workout. Overall if you sweat a lot and lose a lot of electrolytes, I would recommend this. However, if you’re a casual weightlifter like I am, you probably don’t need this to tell you how much water or protein you need to take in. I’m all for data science and all of that but this is a little hard to use.

Though the idea of this product is pretty cool, I didn’t find it to be too effective during my workout. I’m not one that builds up dripping sweat during my workout, no matter how intense. I kinda just get a small sweat coating on my skin, which I found the patch didn’t really pick up at all. I also had problems with it wanting to stay on my skin, it had started to lose its tackiness by the end of my workout. I’m going to try it one more time, and once it started registering my sweat, it was kinda cool, but it’s not my favorite workout product. I received this complimentary from Gatorade and INFLUENSTER

My husband tried the Gatorade GX sweat patch that we received in the mail. Everything was packaged really nice and the patch itself was pretty cool but the app was very hard to use and told him basically the same thing each time. We would not purchase these patches in the future but if you were continuously getting dehydrated even though you were drinking enough fluids it would be worth a try.Gatorade Gx Sweat Patch 

Let me start off by saying I am not a big fan of working out, do I workout everyday yes, I do simply because I want to be healthy not because I enjoy it LOL. Having said that I am in no way a professional athlete whatever my opinion about this product is just simply based on what I felt when I used it. This is definitely a very interesting product but I don’t think it’s the best or you have to have this product in your life. I definitely like the concept behind the product to get a better idea or knowledge about the amount of sweat and sodium loss during your workouts. It’s very easy and simple to apply. All you have to do is place the product on the inside of your left forearm. Generally I don’t sweat a lot so for me while I was using the sweat patch I always had a question on my mind if this product will be of any help to me. The product only works if you have the app downloaded if you don’t have the app then its of no use I feel. The app is not user friendly at all I had to create user account on the app twice with two different emails because the app would always give me an error stating user name was not found. The app is not at all user friendly, it’s very confusing, there’s no option for you to go back and check or track your previous workouts. If you have IPhone you can sync it with your health app but then you will not be able to delete them all at once, you have to delete one workout at a time, Which I am not a big fan of. Is it a great idea to track your sweats yes but did they execute it well hmmm probably not. Now the big question, will I buy this product maybe not but having said that if you are someone who’s very keen on checking your sweat and electrolyte levels then maybe give it a shot. #GatoradeGx #influenster #voxBox @gatorade @influenster

I was really excited to try this out. I had never heard of something like this before. In my honest opinion though, I don’t really sweat too much when I workout so I didn’t get the full on effect. Also, it did leave orange residue on my arm. Third, I’m glad I got this free to try out because if it weren’t for Influenster I wouldn’t pay for this. In my honest opinion this really isn’t something you really need when working out, I guess it just a cool way of finding out what your body’s loosing when you’re working out or doing a really intense workout.

I received this patch complimentary from Influenster, and I thought it would be cool to try. It's a unique technology that a lot of athletes and active people would enjoy to use. In my opinion, I don't think it was necessary to have but I am not looking to know exactly how much water I lose through sweat and other things. After seeing the price for 2 patches (24.99) I was a lot less inclined to like the product. I think it's way to expensive and you can do without. While wearing it you could barely tell it was there. When you take it off it leaves a bit of orange substance on your forearm. I won't buy for myself.

The idea of this is pretty neat, but the app is not the most user friendly when setting up a workout and registering the patch. A note, make sure to use this for an activity where you are anticipating sweat all over your body or there won’t be enough to register from the forearm. I personally don’t sweat a ton in the area unless I’m doing very intense activity or hot yoga.

The sweat patch was functional in that it collected my sweat during my workout, but it didn’t stick to my arm very well once I started sweating. I had to hold it on with a pony tail holder. It was a very cool idea, though.
