The Science In Our System
Innovative thinking. Years of scientific studies and research. Breakthrough technology. That’s all it took to create the world’s best, most sustainable fat loss and muscle gain system in the world.
The innovative technology used exclusively in the X-Force Body™ program is the most meaningful advance in strength training in the last 30 years.
Each X-Force Body exercise machine houses a patented “tilting” weight stack which allows for a 40% heavier resistance on the “negative” or lowering part of the exercise. This heavier negative resistance greatly increases the intensity of muscle exertion during each repetition, which translates into significant strength gains and fat loss in less time!
Results that previously required three, four or five hour-long workouts a week can now be stimulated with only two, 30-minute X-Force Body sessions weekly. Try a free workout on us!

Negative Training
Exercise scientists have found that negative (accentuated) resistance training can rapidly improve muscle size and strength. There are two phases in every strength exercise: In the positive training phase, the muscle shortens as it contracts to raise the weight. In the negative phase, the opposite happens: the muscle lengthens as it resists the weight being lowered. When we lower a weight, we are approximately 40% stronger than when we raise it.
The idea behind the X-Force Body machine is simple: by tilting the weight stack 45 degrees on the positive motion, we’re able to supply a 40% heavier load to the negative phase. The result is a deeper inroad on each repetition and more efficient (negative) training.
Since negative training puts more load on the muscles, additional recovery time is needed between training sessions. This means you need to get extra sleep and rest while on the X-Force Body program – you only need to work out on the machines twice per week!

The Man Behind the Movement
The X-Force Body program was developed by renowned exercise scientist Ellington Darden, PhD, author of more than 50 books, including The Body Fat Breakthrough. While researching the principles of X-Force Body for that book, Dr. Darden put more than 100 men and women through a 6-week program of twice weekly X-Force workouts, superhydration, a carbohydrate-rich meal plan, and extra rest and sleep. The results were remarkable, with many participants losing up to 30 pounds in just 30 days* and still maintaining their new bodies and lifestyles more than a year after the program concluded.

Stimulate Muscle + Increase Metabolism = Fat Loss
During the first months of any diet, your body will lose fat and muscle. When you gain back the weight, which almost always occurs by going off the diet, you add back only fat. It’s much easier to put on fat weight than it is to gain muscle weight.
“That’s the dirty little secret of most popular diet plans that don’t combine muscle-maintaining exercises with the calorie reduction,” says exercise researcher Ellington Darden, PhD, and author of the Men’s Health and Women’s Health book, The Body Fat Breakthrough. “More muscle is your ticket to a better body.”
It’s no secret, however, that muscle is more metabolically active than fat. By having more lean muscle on your skeleton, you’ll burn more calories even at rest. But building muscle fast to spur your body’s fat loss is a more elusive goal. Darden discovered a super-efficient way to achieve this goal with a new Swedish exercise machine called X-Force.
“The results on my test panel were amazing,” says Dr. Darden. “X-Force makes a 40 to 50 percent greater ‘inroad,’ or stress on your muscles, compared with regular style of training,” says Darden. This deeper inroad stimulates key hormones that boost muscular growth and oxidizes fat-cell content at a faster-than-normal-rate.
The effect of the X-Force Body program is to stimulate muscle while losing fat, increase metabolism and make it easier to keep lost fat off. The science behind our program is compelling. Negative training triggers the body’s natural hormones to engage in what is called “muscle-fat crosstalk,” which activates the body’s chemistry to speed-up the building of muscle and the shrinking of fat.
