• ​Ron McKeefery – Building confidence in coaches.
• ​Mike Boyle – Sport science integration in the industry and building confidence in all lifts.

The Apex Cool Labs Narwhals give you a powerful edge by accelerating recovery and delaying fatigue during training and competition. By cooling the body through the palms—one of the most effective places to remove heat—the Narwhals help maintain performance longer, allowing you to add extra volume to lifts and intervals, and prolonging stamina during games. The Narwhals can be found in weight rooms and on sidelines in all major sports including football/soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball, and beyond. 

To find out how you could get your hands on the Narwhals, please follow visit Apex Cool Labs on the link below.
