OHM

What OHM does

OHM (doing business as OHM Dynamics, a Schmidt Design LLC Company) is a Connecticut-based sports and rehabilitation technology company founded in 2013 by physicist Dave Schmidt. The company designs and manufactures the OHM Run Delta-Kinetic Trainer, a ground-based resistance training device built on proprietary Delta-Kinetic technology that allows users to control resistance, speed, and path of motion simultaneously — eliminating the inertial loading and fixed-path constraints of traditional weight, spring, or band equipment. The core trainer is paired with the OHM Performance Tracking System, which captures peak and average force, power, work (force over distance), calories, and repetition data across full range of motion, and an accessory family including the Power Harness, BRIDLE, and GRIP for varied engagement styles.

OHM sells hardware through a B2B enterprise field sales motion targeting sports performance facilities, rehabilitation centers, and professional sports teams. The Pittsburgh Steelers serves as the company's flagship Official Training Partner, and a credentialed advisory board — including representatives from Parisi Speed School, XSport Fitness, Town Sports International, PTA Global, BKBX/Brooklyn Boulders, Train Away Pain, and the San Antonio Orthopedic Group — functions as both a credibility layer and an indirect channel into the broader fitness, youth sports, and clinical rehabilitation markets. The company is privately held by the founder, has 1–10 employees, and as of January 2026 was transitioning from prototype to production with the support of a FORGE Make It Here: CT manufacturing accelerator grant matched with nine Connecticut manufacturers.

Products and services

• OHM Run Delta-Kinetic Trainer Ground-based functional training equipment that uses Delta-Kinetic resistance to let users engage in natural, ground-based movement against fixed-speed or fixed-load resistance, designed as a biomechanically superior alternative to traditional sled pushes and pulls. It features 100 ft high tensile strength Dyneema cable, 0-200 lbs resistance in constant speed mode, 10-150 lbs in constant force mode, and fixed speed from 0.1 to 10.0 MPH. Targeted at professional sports teams, sports performance facilities, and rehabilitation centers.
• Power Harness Specially engineered training vest that optimizes lower-body force production on the OHM Run by providing secure load distribution during propulsive exercise. Sold as a standalone accessory for OHM Run users at sports performance and rehabilitation facilities.
• BRIDLE Versatile training accessory used with two GRIP handles or a bar for bilateral resistance, or with the OHM Power Harness to enable 180-degree rotational movement and easy directional transition for full 360 degrees of resisted movement. Sold as a standalone accessory for OHM Run users.
• GRIP Durable and versatile form of engagement with OHM Delta-Kinetic resistance, used for pushing, pulling, off-axis loading, and rotational movement to target muscle and core activation. Sold as a standalone accessory for OHM Run users.
• OHM Performance Tracking System Performance analytics system that accurately and consistently measures applied force through full range of motion, capturing peak and average force and power output, applied force over distance (work), calories, and repetition counter for athlete and patient assessment, baseline establishment, progression tracking, and goal-based performance reporting. Sold to sports performance facilities and rehabilitation clinics alongside the OHM Run.

Direct peers

• Keiser: Keiser builds pneumatic variable-resistance strength and indoor cycling equipment with integrated electronic performance feedback. Their philosophy of using non-weight, electronically controlled resistance to enable variable-speed, full-range movement closely mirrors OHM's Delta-Kinetic approach, making them the closest functional analogue.
• Woodway: Woodway manufactures premium curved treadmills (Woodway Curve, 4Front) emphasizing natural, self-propelled running mechanics for performance training. They target the same elite sports performance, tactical, and rehab facility buyers as OHM, with comparable premium positioning.
• TRX: TRX suspension trainers and functional training programs are widely used in commercial gyms, pro sports, and military training. Like OHM, TRX sells an alternative-to-weights paradigm for functional movement and sells B2B into sports performance and rehab facilities.
• Sorinex: Sorinex is a performance strength and conditioning equipment maker serving college and pro sports strength rooms. Their premium, customizable rigs and racks compete for the same NFL/NCAA strength-coach budgets that OHM targets with the Delta-Kinetic trainer.
• Eleiko: Eleiko manufactures premium barbells, platforms, and strength equipment for Olympic, powerlifting, and professional sports facilities. They compete for the same elite strength-and-conditioning capital equipment budgets and emphasize functional movement quality similar to OHM's positioning.
• Versaclimber: Versaclimber builds vertical climbing machines used by NFL combine athletes, military, and rehab clinics. Like OHM, they sell into pro sports performance and rehabilitation facilities with equipment built around natural, full-body movement patterns.
• Hyperice: Hyperice produces sports recovery and performance technology (vibration, percussion, contrast therapy) sold into pro sports teams and athletic training facilities. They share OHM's pro sports distribution channel and athlete-performance value proposition, and have demonstrated a viable hardware-plus-data commercialization model.
• Assault Fitness: Assault Fitness makes air-resistance bikes, treadmills, and sleds used in CrossFit boxes, performance centers, and rehab clinics. Their air-bike and AirRunner products compete for the same functional-training and pro sports conditioning budgets as the OHM Run.

Broad incumbents

• Cybex International: Cybex is an established commercial strength and cardio equipment manufacturer with deep penetration in fitness clubs, rehab clinics, and corporate wellness. They serve OHM's target buyers with broader product portfolios but do not specialize in variable-resistance functional trainers.
• Life Fitness: Life Fitness (parent of Hammer Strength, Cybex, and others) is the dominant commercial fitness equipment incumbent globally. They serve the same health club, pro sports, and rehab facility buyers OHM targets, but as part of a wide portfolio rather than a focused variable-resistance niche.
