Gatorade Gx Hydration System, Non-Slip Gx Squeeze Bottles & Gx Sports Drink Concentrate Pods, 16 count

Product Information

If your scan is successful, you can see an estimate of your sweat rate, as well as how much fluid and sodium you’ve lost during your workout. Don’t treat these initiatives as a seasonal campaign or quick hit – continue to learn and innovate over time through the piloting process and you’ll have a better chance of truly impacting your business in a meaningful, substantial manner. Unfortunately, Gatorade Pods are not reusable, and must be disposed of or recycled after a single use. If the bottle appears sealed tightly and has no obvious visible off-color or odor when opened, there’s no reason why it cannot be consumed past the recommended usage date on the neck of each bottle. Because the pods can be customized with so many different options, it’s hard to offer all the variations at retail.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Gx responds to the ever-increasing desire to use smart devices for fitness monitoring and tracking, and elevates this one step further by allowing the athlete to optimize their own unique hydration through personalized insights and recommendations.

There are many reasons why a product may be discontinued, but it's usually because sales expectations have not been met. You’ve seen them all over TikTok and Instagram, those little orange pods people keep slamming into their water bottles. If you choose to integrate with Apple Health, you’ll also have to accept those agreements and permissions as well. They’re the type of gadget that’s helpful for a sliver of people and overcomplicated for everyone else.

A sharebox camera at the championship with Gatorade Gx backdrop, made it easy for the global high school athletes to share their experience back home, and local sports cable stations also relayed the event. The Gx line also includes a hydration tracker app (iOS only) and a sweat patch that you apply to the skin of your forearm to track your sweat production during a workout with the aid of the app. The 3-year journey from idea inception to consumer product launch is one of the best examples I’ve seen of a collaboration between a design agency partner and a brand.

Helping sports teams do better through this unique system is a valued service that’s hard for competitors to match, and makes Gatorade a more complete and holistic partner to those teams. For this article, I interviewed the key innovation leads on the Gx project: Xavi Cortadellas, Head of Innovation and Design for Gatorade globally, Tucker Fort, Partner at Smart Design, and his colleague John Anderson, the Technology Director at Smart Design. I’ve used both and wasn’t able to get a result either time, even though I followed the instructions to the letter.

The Gx system has enabled coaches and athletes to positively modify hydration behaviors, by making a stronger connection between their exertion on the field and how this impacts baseline hydration needs pre- and post-activity. Information and statements about products are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. It’s tempting to roll your eyes and think, “Just use common sense, skip the patch, and drink regularly during exercise. Speaking of my forearm, even though I didn’t sweat enough to register a result, I did sweat enough to activate the orange dye. Position a Gatorade Pod upside-down on the pod piercer in the mouth of the bottle, so that the orange rim of the pod faces downward.Aside from the PR and goodwill benefits, the tournament enabled product developers to see how a different segment would use the product, how it performs, and how to best communicate how it works. You only really need a sports drink if you’re working out for more than 75 minutes at a high intensity or in a hot climate. Once you charge the bottle and pair it with your phone, the app suggests a daily hydration goal based on your personal data, such as gender and weight. If you’re new to endurance sports or adjusting to a new environment, I can see how insight into how much and how often to fuel would be helpful. For the most fruitful collaborations between brands, support agencies and design firms, it helps to truly be in it together… Win or fail.

For accurate results, you’re supposed to wear them during a single activity, and you’re not supposed to cover your forearm with clothing.But we started counting exactly how many times you have to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate.
