ARX for the design channel
The piece your client says yes to before you finish the pitch.
ARX is the only adaptive-resistance equipment with a peer-reviewed comparative trial. For architects, interior designers, custom builders, and CEDIA integrators specifying into a $5M+ residence, ARX is the wellness-equipment recommendation that survives a healthcare-aware client's scrutiny.

Reference installs
Photography of ARX in completed residential projects is being commissioned through Q2-Q3. Until installation imagery is available, the specifier desk can arrange a private site visit to a comparable installation — typically within a 90-minute drive of Tampa Bay, Atlanta or Miami.

Trade economics
Two structures, currently in finalization. Specifiers entering the pilot program before final approval will be grandfathered into whichever structure is more favorable.
Option A — Co-listed referral
8% of equipment value
Paid on close. Specifier is listed as the specifier of record on the project documentation. Standard for architect + interior designer firms with formal trade-program structures.
Option B — Hybrid quarterly
$250 flat + 0.5% attributed
$250 paid on qualified introduction. 0.5% of attributed deal value paid quarterly, capped at $500/reference/year. Time-bank credit (co-marketing hours) available in lieu of cash at the specifier's option.
Final structure pending ARX leadership approval (DQ-03). Pilot specifiers walked through both options on the discovery call.
Specifier voices
Architect and builder testimonials are being collected from the first cohort of pilot installations. Until the first quotes are consent-cleared and published, the discovery call is the place to hear how comparable firms have integrated ARX into their project documentation + client pitch.
Testimonials in collection
Pilot architect + builder quotes pending consent. Request a peer reference call via the specifier desk.
Specifier FAQ
Questions specifiers ask before bringing ARX into a client meeting.
Why would I spec ARX over Tonal, Vitruvian or a smart cable system?
ARX is the only adaptive-resistance category equipment with a peer-reviewed comparative trial. Smart cable systems max out at the user's concentric capability and can't deliver eccentric overload — the dose-response phase where most strength + hypertrophy adaptation occurs. For a client your firm is positioning as design-led + evidence-driven, ARX is the credible spec; the smart cables read as consumer fitness.
Will my client use it after install?
ARX's adherence pattern is the opposite of the typical home-gym story. The dose is short (28 minutes a week) and the outcome is documented per session, so owners reach the strength + body-composition milestones in 12-16 weeks and continue. The clinical evidence is also the closing argument when a client asks why this and not something cheaper — see the science hub for the full base.
Can ARX be concealed or integrated into a designed environment?
Yes. ARX can sit behind cabinetry, recessed into a millwork wall or in a dedicated wellness room. Coordinate with the ARX team early in design development on finish options, lighting and AV integration paths so the equipment doesn't fight the surrounding design language.
What does the trade economics look like?
Two structures, currently in finalization. (1) Co-listed referral, 8% of equipment value paid on close. (2) Hybrid: $250 flat per qualified introduction + 0.5% of attributed deal value paid quarterly, capped at $500/reference/year. Time-bank credit (co-marketing hours) available in lieu of cash at the specifier's option. Final structure pending ARX leadership approval; specifiers entering the pilot program before approval will be grandfathered into whichever structure is more favorable.
Does ARX provide CE / continuing-education credit for designers?
Not currently. ARX is exploring CE accreditation through ASID + CEDIA pathways. If your firm requires CE-accredited education to recommend equipment, flag this in the discovery call — it's on the roadmap and Kyle can confirm timing.
Where should I direct my client between now and the install?
For the buyer-side framing of ARX's clinical evidence and time-efficient strength dose, send them to the private-buyer page at /hnw. For the science directly, the science hub has a TL;DR section written for non-clinical readers. The ARX team handles the discovery call and proposal directly — you stay in the relationship as the specifier of record.
