University of Waterloo college students Dhananja Jayalath and Christopher Wiebe were frustrated by their workouts in the gym--they felt like there was no way to know whether they were actually working the right muscles when lifting weights. A personal trainer wasn't an option for these cash-strapped students, and as electrical engineers, both thought there could be a frictionless way where hardware technology could collect this data from your muscles. But this hadn't been developed yet. Flash forward three years, and Jayalath and Wiebe are debuting this connected, wearable workout gear to the public after spending that time developing both the hardware and software side. Backed with $3.5 million in seed funding from Chamath Palihapitiya's Social+Capital Partnership, Athos offers a wearable technology that is fully integrated in workout clothing, and can track your muscle groups, heart rate, breathing level and more. You can pre-order the Athos, which will be available in the Spring of 2014, here.
