I really enjoyed this product and box. It worked very well, the patch is really cool and the drinks were delicious. Will be buying more!

I was sent the Gx Sweat Patch, Water Bottle, and Pods for free from Influenster and Gatorade for my honest opinion. My husband used the sweat patch on one of this runs this week. The idea of the patch is promising but it needs some improvement before it’s worth the price tag… at least we think. He said it was weird running with the patch on. Also, the dye from the patch leaked all over his arm as you can see. It looks like a bruise. Once he took the patch off, the adhesive stayed behind on his arm. You scan the patch into the Gx app and it tells you your fluid loss, sweat rate, and sodium loss. It then tells you a recovery plan based off of if you want to recover, maintain, increase, or compete with your workouts. That aspect is pretty neat, but not worth it for the price tag and quality. Neat idea… fun to try out.

I like the idea of this product, however, if you’re doing a doing a grueling work out (which I assume would be best if you’re testing your needs) the patch has a has a hard time staying stuck. If that can be fixed then this product would be much better.

I was very excited about this product and it’s potential. However, the patch was more trouble than it was worth because it felt like it was going to fall off the whole exercise once I started sweating. I would like to use a product like this in the future. Great concept!

I was excited to try this product as I sweat a lot when I work out and am constantly thinking that I’m dehydrated. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up sweating a lot on my forearm where I placed the patch despite working out on the treadmill for over 40 minutes. Since I didn’t end up sweating enough, the patch wasn’t able to provide any of the useful info through the app. Would love to try it again but don’t know that it would work the second time either!

I tried this product from my latest Influenster box and downloaded the app to go with it. I did a pretty intense workout and was very sweaty but the patch didn’t collect much sweat. Given you place it on your arm you have to be sweating on your forearm when most people sweat more on their face and back. Hard to believe this is an accurate read. Not exactly sure how it determines the amount of sodium lost through sweat but I also don’t feel that was super accurate. When I removed the patch it was super sticky and left a mark as well as some of the orange sweat tracking fluid.

I used this product during an intense workout and I think that it is really cool in concept but has some things that can be fixed. For example, when you get really sweaty it does tend to fall off, and if there isn’t enough sweat it doesn’t get read by the app properly. However, if these things are done correctly it should work fine. So make sure you put the sweat patch on before starting a workout and watch it fill up so that it can be read properly.

I like the idea of the patch and that you can see it filling up throughout your workout. Mine didn’t stay on very well, therefore it didn’t fill completely up and I have to secure it down with a hair tie. On the app, I think it should have an info button as to what your sodium levels or sweat loss means in the grand scheme of working out/health.
