A Smarter Way to Run Stronger
Running is one of the most accessible and effective ways to build fitness and boost mental clarity. But what if every stride could do more—building strength, increasing endurance, and burning more calories—without changing your route or routine?
That’s where OMORPHO weighted G-Wear comes in.
Constructed with our trademark MicroLoad™ design, OMORPHO G-Wear integrates lightweight resistance into sleek, breathable, machine-washable apparel that moves with you. From neighborhood jogs to trail runs, G-Wear evenly distributes weight across the core, arms, and legs—enhancing the impact of each workout without disrupting form or flow. For experienced runners looking to intensify their training, the G-Vest adds an additional 3 or 10 lbs of balanced resistance.
OMORPHO G-Wear is more than a gear upgrade—it’s a performance multiplier, with benefits rooted in sports science:
Boost Cardiovascular Performance
A 2023 study in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that runners training with wearable weights (1–3% of body weight) improved VO₂ max by 7.2% in just eight weeks[1]. That means more stamina, greater oxygen efficiency, and longer-lasting energy. G-Wear delivers this exact resistance range—without compromising comfort or mobility.
Improve Running Efficiency
A 2024 study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology reported a 5.8% improvement in running economy when using light wearable resistance[2]. Running economy refers to how efficiently a runner uses oxygen to maintain a certain pace. In simpler terms, it's a measure of how much energy it takes to run at a specific speed. Runners also maintained pace longer before fatiguing. OMORPHO G-Wear evenly distributes load to support better posture and alignment—helping runners improve their form effortlessly.
Burn More Calories and Fat
Adding even a small amount of resistance increases workout intensity. A 2009 study on the impact of wearable weights on cardiovascular responses and energy expenditure suggests that using weighted vests can increase energy expenditure by up to 15% during aerobic training, according to the American Council on Exercise[3]. Whether your goal is fat loss or maintenance, OMORPHO G-Wear helps maximize results from every mile.
Recover Smarter
Contrary to what you might expect, light resistance can actually enhance recovery. Recent peer-reviewed studies showed that runners using wearable weights saw an 8% improvement in heart rate recovery and reported 10% less post-run soreness[4]. Thanks to G-Wear’s ergonomic design, you can train consistently and bounce back stronger.
Support Bone Health
Running already supports bone density—but adding wearable resistance amplifies the benefit. A five year study cited in PubMed found an increase in hip bone density with wearable weights, supporting long-term joint and skeletal health[5]. OMORPHO’s micro-weighted sportswear comes in manageable weight ranges that give just enough added resistance to strengthen bones without risking injury or strain.
Why OMORPHO G-Wear featuring MicroLoad?
Because comfort matters. Unlike bulky or unbalanced vests that can disrupt your stride, OMORPHO’s G-Wear and G-Vest are engineered for movement:
- Even weight distribution for natural biomechanics
- Machine-washable materials for everyday wear
- Breathable, flexible fabrics for maximum comfort
- MicroLoad™ weight distribution that enhances, rather than hinders, your run
Start small—just 10 to 15 minutes, as recommended by OMORPHO head of performance Dr. Erin Feser—and build from there. Whether you’re new to running or training for your next race, G-Wear helps you go farther, stronger, and smarter.
With OMORPHO G-Wear, turning your daily run into a full-body workout is as simple as getting dressed. No extra effort. Just improved results.
