We’ve been using the Narwhals from Apex Cool Labs for over a couple of months now. It’s made a clear difference in recovery during training sessions. Athletes recover faster and can sustain higher intensities for longer. The palm cooling technology is especially useful for us here in Arizona, where we’re often training in 100+ degree heat. The Narwhals are now part of our daily setup, and I recommend them whole-heartedly.
Stuart McMillan, ALTIS | CEO / Sprint Coach
Palm cooling is the most accessible and simplest way to improve therapy and performance across the board. It allows you to have more energy for high quality work. Every training room and weight room on the planet should have the Narwhals. They beat the pants off other devices!
Austin Einhorn, Movement Coach to Professional & Olympic Athletes
The Narwhals have been incredibly valuable in my powerlifting training. This is a portable, effective tool that lets me get the most out of my heavy days and helps me approach each set feeling fresh and recovered. I cool down to reach higher!

The Narwhals work great! I have so much more power and energy during my workouts.
Louie Disney, Firefighter & Bodybuilder
I’ve been using the Narwhals for over a year now and can say with full confidence they have transformed my training. I integrate them into my training whenever possible - lifting and interval work - and have seen measurable improvements in my strength, training volume, and recovery. If you’re looking to get an edge on your training, the Narwhals are hands down the best gym tool to get you there.

Palm cooling is a scientifically proven way to get stronger faster & sustain higher output longer.

Increase work volume

Get stronger faster

Recover heart rate faster

Wait, cool my palms to get stronger?!

When we lift, our muscles locally get very hot. This heat slows us down by inhibiting muscle energy production.

Our palms are natural radiators for the body. They contain special vasculature for efficient offloading of heat. By palm cooling between sets, you remove this heat and can sustain higher quality work longer.
