THE SCIENCE
First established in the landmark 2009 study, brain endurance training (BET) has been shown in fMRI brain scans and numerous peer reviewed studies to improve athletic performance by targeting the part of the brain responsible for managing fatigue, decision making and the suppression of undesirable impulses aka will power.
Research done in 2015 by Rewire’s scientific advisor, Walter Staiano showed that brain training is highly effective in improving endurance performance when combined with traditional physical training. Those in the brain training group had a 3x improvement in time to exhaustion (TTE) than the control group (+126% compared to +42%) over a 12 week training period.
WHAT ATHLETES AND COACHES ARE SAYING…
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How does it work?
The brain endurance training system is based on 10 years of scientific research in the fields of sports science, neuroscience and psychobiology. The research covers a wide variety of sports with consistent results including competitive cyclists, runners, swimmers, fencers, table tennis players, rugby players, strength training athletes and soccer players. By focusing on brain training that fatigues the mind during workouts athletes can prepare for real-world scenarios that they will face in competition without risking injury or over training.

How does the product work?
The product consists of a pair of wireless brain training straps that attach to the handlebars of your bike so that you can answer brain training questions while doing your normal indoor workout on the bike. The brain training straps then pair with the Rewire Fitness app which has a variety of workouts across all training levels so that you can do brain training while doing your normal power-based structured indoor cycling workout. Please Note: that the brain training straps have been designed to easily adapt to other sports beyond cycling which will be added over time.

Is Rewire right for me/Is Rewire only for elite athletes?
If you have athletic performance goals and think that you would benefit from a system that helps you become more mentally tough (no matter how tough you are already) then this product may be right for you. Brain training studies have shown significant gains performance for amateur athletes including this 2015 study that showed that brain training was highly effective in improving the endurance performance of 35 amateur athletes when combined with traditional physical training. Those in the brain training group had a 3x improvement in time to exhaustion (TTE) than the control group (+126% compared to +42%) over a 12 week training period.
Which sports are Rewire suitable for? (Or even beyond sports)
Our first release is focused first on brain training straps that support indoor cycling for competitive cyclists and triathletes but we have plans to expand to many other sports over time including running, strength training, rowing and select team sports. Additionally the mental endurance recovery system may be used by anyone including non-athletes to help reduce stress, improve mental and physical recovery and reinforce a positive mindset.
What happens if the brain training straps break?
The brain training straps have a 1 year warranty and can be replaced during this warranty window at any time by contacting our support team.
I’m a coach, can I track my athletes centrally using Rewire?
We have plans to provide a coaching portal to manage athletes but have not added this feature yet. We do support full syncing with Strava and have plans to offer syncing with programs like TrainingPeaks in the near future. We would also be happy to discuss bulk order discounts for your athletes. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about current and future options: [email protected]
Which Power Meters work with Rewire?
The Rewire system supports most Bluetooth enabled standard power meters using the following protocols “Fitness Machine Bluetooth Standard” or “Cycling Power Bluetooth Standard”. This represents the majority of power meters that are part of the bike as well as most that are part of an indoor training system like Wahoo, Kinetic etc. Please contact our support team if you have any other questions about power meter compatibility: [email protected]
Additionally, we can recommend a solution for ANT only devices that creates a Bluetooth bridge to the Rewire device called Cable which can be found here: https://npe-inc.com/cableinfo/.
How often should I use Rewire?
This greatly depends upon the individual and the amount of mental and physical stress in a given week. In general we recommend brain endurance training 2-3x per week which can be done in sessions lasting between 30 – 60 min during normal power-based workouts using the Rewire app training plans. The mental recovery feature can be used as often as needed and many athletes use it as a daily practice.

Do I have to do brain training while working out or can I do it separately?
We recommend that you do brain endurance training during workouts whenever possible. We’ve made it easy by including the options to either add 30-60 min of brain training to the end of an existing workout or as a standalone workout. That said, you may also do brain training while not training or immediately after a workout to add more mental load to your session by using one of the “mental only” workout options found within the app.
Why is Rewire a subscription service as opposed to a one-off fee?
The benefit of a subscription service is that this allows us to continue to make iterative improvements to the product based on athlete feedback. This means that while you are a subscriber you will continue to receive regular product updates including additional workout options, enhancements to metrics, additional brain training protocols and integrations with other services.
What is your cancelation / refund policy?
You may cancel your subscription within the first 30 days for a full refund. For monthly subscribers you may cancel at any time. For annual subscribers you may also cancel at any time however you will not be eligible for a partial refund based on the remaining balance of your annual subscription.
