Quell is an immersive fitness game where players get fit fighting their way through a rich fantasy world. Our lightweight wearable uses smart resistance bands to provide an exciting, high-intensity combat workout at home.
@aaron_levi_yahalom Thanks for the love! You can grab it on Kickstarter now at a massive discount on retail :) Link is up top.

@cameronbrookhouse I'm not a crowdfunding guy. But it will be honor for me to help you with distribution in 🇪🇺 connecting with couple big retail companies.
This is so freaking cool! I love ZWIFT but have always felt like it could be more immersive if they leaned on the gamification a bit more. The difference for many of us who love sports but hate home workouts is the FUN.
@daveferbear thanks for the comment and this is great to hear! This was exactly how we felt about existing fitness games when we started exploring the idea that has grown to become Quell. Home workouts always felt to us like 'type 2 fun' - i.e. it wasn't fun at the time, we were just satisfied we'd done it afterwards. Making that same workout something more enjoyable or exciting in the moment through gamification is what we're passionate about!

Was excited at first but saw that this is a whole separate system to buy. As someone who already owns a VR rig with a dedicated space it's kind of a let down that this isn't a simple resistance system that just works inside Oculus or similar. I understand that for someone without VR this may be more ideal but I also don't have a big screen in an open area for stuff like this either since I opted for small screen + Oculus Rift,
@thatmattgardner Thanks for the comment. We decided against VR at launch because test users found VR fitness too sweaty and uncomfortable. However, we are working on building VR experiences for when the headsets get lighter and more breathable. There’s also no reason you can’t buy the system and wear it while playing VR today!

Seems like the most important things are taken into account - the exercise, the game and improvement over time, both for the players and the product. I believe this game will be a good answer to a large population's demand.

The tech/wearable looks great, but you'd have to sell me on the games! I'd love to see "travel through a fantasy world" elaborated on, as was mentioned in the trailer.
@jesmith Great question! There are two things you need to be able to customise here and Quell does both. Firstly is the length of static line before the resistance band kicks in. This lets you adapt the resistance profile to your arm length as well as your personal preferences. Secondly is the force of the resistance. Quell comes with swappable bands of multiple strengths to ensure the resistance stays right as you get stronger (or if you just want to do a short, hardcore strength workout vs a longer cardio workout)
