Rapid Release

The Rapid Release is an easy-to-use add-on device for sprint and resistance training, giving coaches total control over when and how an athlete is released into free sprinting. Designed for resisted, assisted, and overspeed training, the Rapid Release combines durability, precision, and wireless convenience to elevate speed development sessions.

Whether tethered to sleds, chains, EXER-GENIE, 1080 Sprint, DynaSpeed, T-APEX, or Run Rocket, the Rapid Release ensures athletes get a clean, consistent release every time. With both a handheld remote fob and the My Rapid mobile app (free on iOS and Android), coaches can trigger release at exactly the right moment to maximize training outcomes.

Why Rapid Release?

In both resisted and assisted/overspeed sprints, when the athlete is released matters as much as how they’re loaded. A late, early, or inconsistent release muddies the stimulus and skews the rep. Rapid Release gives coaches button-perfect timing (manual, timed, or step-based), so every rep delivers the intended adaptation—cleanly and repeatably.

What release modes are available?

Rapid Release offers three modes:

Manual Mode
The coach presses the release button in the My Rapid app at the desired moment.

Timed Release Mode
The device releases automatically after a preset delay once the athlete begins moving.

Step-Based Release Mode
The device releases after a target step count is detected.

Timed Release Mode is typically the most consistent option for training.

Do I need a phone to operate the device?

Yes. Rapid Release is controlled through the My Rapid mobile app, available for iOS and Android.

The app is used to:

• Select release modes

• Adjust timing settings

• Configure step detection

• Update firmware

What equipment can I connect to Rapid Release?

Rapid Release works with most sprint resistance and overspeed tools, including:

• Sleds

• EXER-GENIE

• 1080 Sprint

• DynaSpeed

• T-APEX

• Run Rocket

• Other resistance systems using straps or carabiners

Can athletes train alone with Rapid Release?

Yes, athletes can use Timed Release Mode or Step-Based Release Mode to automate the release without a coach present.

This makes Rapid Release useful for both team sessions and solo training.

How much resistance can the system handle?

The included High-Tension Belt supports resistance loads up to 30 kg (66 lbs).

For heavier resistance protocols, coaches should ensure all connected equipment is rated appropriately.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on usage, but the device is designed to last multiple training sessions on a single charge.

The LED indicator will blink when the battery is low, signaling it’s time to recharge.

How is the device charged?

Rapid Release uses a magnetic charging cable that connects directly to the charging port on the unit.

A red LED indicator shows when the device is charging.

Is the app free?

Yes, the My Rapid app is free to download and does not require a subscription.

Is Rapid Release suitable for team environments?

Yes, the included Quick-Release Belt allows coaches to quickly move the device between athletes during group training sessions.

This makes it practical for team sprint sessions and performance training groups.
