Our first product, The SpeedMaker, was conceptualized in 2014 by Benga Adeeko, a licensed professional engineer and former track & field standout. While spending time as a youth track & field coach, he sought out a way to help athletes train more effectively. He then began developing a device that would target the muscle groups most responsible for sprint performance, without compromising running form. After months of development, he presented the first SpeedMaker prototype to Jordan Strofaci, a fellow coach and speed trainer who instantly loved the idea. It was at that point in which Benga knew he was onto something. The NewGait was birthed in 2016 when Kim Spranger, a physical therapist, saw the SpeedMaker, and thought to use the apparatus to rehabilitate a young woman that had a devastating spinal cord injury. She was told that she would never walk again, but today, she can be found chasing cows on her dairy farm or competing in 5k races. The video of her recovery can be seen here. Our team has since entirely shifted efforts to restoring hope, and putting the care back in healthcare.
