How Mind Gym Lab Broadened the Horizons of this Beijing Teen

I recently had the chance to observe firsthand what an incredible job is taking place in the Mind Gym Lab as an intern through my school’s World of Work program where grade 10 students spend an entire week working at companies in Beijing.

Mind Gym Lab is the first and only neurocognitive training center in China. Their goal is to optimize people’s lives by maximizing performance in sports, the classroom, and everyday life through neurocognitive brain training. They offer unique training programs designed for athletes of all levels up to elite pros, students, police and military, and for general brain health and rehab.

I got to see everything there is about Mind Gym Lab’s new technologies and learned from the expertise of their experienced trainers.

One of the newest technologies I learned about in the Mind Gym Lab is their hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This promotes general health, endurance for sports, and exercise recovery. It can improve an athlete’s performance by giving the body higher levels of oxygen in a pressurized oxygen chamber.

The Mind Gym Lab emphasizes cognitive brain training to increase athletic performance, in addition to physical training. For example, the reaction light system consists of training lights combined with sound, vibration, sensors, and real-time data to recreate real game scenarios. This is intended to enhance mental toughness, rapid problem-solving abilities, reaction speed, and concentration – all essential qualities for athletes.

Other technologies they use combine an assessment and analysis of agility, speed, and neurocognitive reflexes and develop better sports vision. They use the same neuro-training tools that the world’s top athletes and teams use to enhance performance and improve players’ speed and agility, reaction time, focus, and mental endurance. They also are used for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Perhaps one of the most unique and captivating training tools at the Mind Gym Lab is the global speed court. This interactive sports floor is designed to simultaneously help athletes train and improve their speed and cognitive abilities. By combining visual cues, movement challenges, and real-time data, the global speed court creates a dynamic and immersive training environment that pushes athletes to think and react quickly while improving their physical coordination and agility.

My time as an intern at the Mind Gym Lab has been an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience. The level of innovation, dedication, and expertise on display here is truly remarkable, and I am constantly amazed by the transformative impact these technologies and training methods can have on an athlete’s performance and well-being. I would highly recommend the Mind Gym Lab to any athlete or individual looking to take their sports performance or cognitive abilities to new heights.

I am now training there to become a Junior Neuro Athletic Coach for the younger athletes at Mind Gym Lab.
