Portal is New York City's first biohacking fitness studio,
which means that we take the best
of technology, data, evidence-based protocols
so you get a much more efficient,
effective workout and recovery program.
I am feeling very nervous about being here
at Portal today, also mixed with excitement.
So first, Bob is gonna do a FIT 3D scan.
So he is gonna get a 360 degree picture of his body,
all his measurements, and his body composition.
(upbeat music)
So you're gonna reach down, grab the handles, lift them up,
and you will start to spin.
So basically you're taking pictures,
and all of those camera pictures are put together
to give you all of this information.
And then there's an advanced algorithm
that gives you the body composition estimates
for both muscle and fat mass.
Doing great.
I'm trying to work on my posture as much as possible,
as I'm like going around in a circle.
And of course, it puts you in a very vulnerable position
And you are done.
I enjoyed that. Cool.
I enjoyed that a lot.
So next you're gonna do the Shake and Bake.
You've got the Joovv panels
with two different red light wavelengths
that are gonna be great for your cellular health.
And you're gonna be standing
on the Joovv vent microvibe,
which gives you a very, very gentle micro vibration
that is good for so many aspects of your biology.
Okay, so I'm stepping on this thing and like do I?
You're gonna get naked.
I'm gonna get what?
(upbeat music)
The Shake and Bake, first time being naked
on the Rachael Ray Show.
Bob, do you have your clothes on now?
I have my clothes on.
Perfect, come on out.
Wow, I did that for 20 minutes.
There's so much research right now all about red light.
When it comes to doing anything
that can help reduce inflammation in the body,
I am all for it.
Yeah, I like this.
Awesome, so on to the Carol bike
Onto the Carol Bike.
Aim for the red.
Bob is now on the Carol bike,
which is an artificially intelligent bike
that figures out exactly the perfect resistance
to get Bob to glycogen depletion twice
in under nine minutes.
That gives him the equivalent of a 45 minute jog.
There's a lot of resistance on this thing when--
That's the point. (upbeat music)
Ugh. Go, go, go.
Everything you got, you got this big push, big push.
Oh! And you're done.
Oh my God ! You did it.
So we're doing the ARX next?
We are.
(upbeat music)
So ARX stands for Adaptive Resistance Exercise,
and it's adaptive, because you're actually working
with the machine.
So it's constantly adapting to how you are working.
You know, you're in the middle of a really hard workout
when you're looking at that clock going, how much more?
When can I rest?
Remember, fatigue is our friend, fatigue is our friend.
No, don't give up, don't give up, we don't give up.
That's fatigue!
And that's exactly where I was with that.
Stay with it, stay with it, stay with it, stay with it.
And you're done.
Great job.
Yay.
(upbeat music)
So now we're gonna work out on the Proteus,
which is a state of the art 360 degree resistance trainer.
What it does is it gives us the most efficient,
functional training system possible,
because of this 360 degree resistance.
For someone who loves movement and loves fitness,
this is a super fun toy because there really are no limits.
So now we're gonna go on to recovery,
which is an integral part of this process,
to allow Bob's body to come back stronger
after all of this hard work.
(gentle music)
So we have many different machines
that help you recover more efficiently and effectively
from calming your mind, increasing your lymphatic drainage,
and helping your body detoxify,
and calming your entire system, increasing circulation.
Recovery, what does recovery mean to Pam Pam?
I mean like, at Portal, I don't know what recovery means.
What?
Jumping an ice cold bath.
Ha, ah, ah! Ha, yep, got it.
Ha, put your hands right on the side.
Put your hands right on the side, and look at me.
This is an amazing mental health practice,
because it's allowing Bob to get out of his comfort zone
and rise above that immediate fight or flight response
to get the heck out of the cold plunge.
When she gets me in there
and I'm like looking at the clock the whole time.
Just like, two minutes, two minutes, it was intense.
And then out.
So breath in.
You're gonna sleep really good tonight.
Ah, I'm gonna sleep really good.
Mh-hmm.
I actually feel really good.
I definitely have an endorphin rush going on right now.
What's happening here is like the future
when it comes to health and wellness.
Everything's always changing
and this is in the forefront.
And I'm still really, really cold.
