In 2019, friends and colleagues Grayson Smith and Lucas Koenecke turned their shared passion for fitness and neuro-centric training into a mission. After years spent exploring the impact of neurology-based training and product design, they realized a shared vision. With guidance from Dr. Eric Cobb, Founder of Z-Health® Performance Solutions, Grayson and Lucas developed a plan to advance athletic and rehabilitation science through neuro-centric tools.
They founded The Maverick Gym to bring their vision to life, debuting The Maverick—a tool built to challenge the limitations of traditional training. Today, The Maverick serves a growing community of athletes, coaches, and therapists dedicated to a smarter, science-based approach to movement.
Founders’ Vision: Grayson and Lucas envisioned a training tool that brings neurology to the forefront of athleticism, reshaping how the body and mind connect in high-performance fitness.

The unique icosahedron design of The Maverick is inspired by Rudolf Laban’s theory of movement analysis. Laban, a pioneer in movement science, believed the icosahedron—a twenty-sided geometric figure—was closely aligned with the structure and movement potential of the human body. He observed that the angles and proportions of the icosahedron matched the body’s natural range and pathways, making it an ideal framework for exploring movement.
What makes The Maverick different from other training tools?
The Maverick combines cognitive, neuromuscular, and visual training into one tool. Its icosahedron shape is designed to engage multiple senses and physical systems, allowing for integrated movement patterns and cognitive exercises.
How much space does The Maverick require?
The Maverick’s 7-foot frame fits well in most gym spaces and training facilities. It provides maximum versatility in a compact area, making it ideal for high-performance and rehabilitation environments.
Who benefits from training with The Maverick?
The Maverick is ideal for athletes, sports performance coaches, cognitive specialists, physical therapists, as well as military personnel, pilots, police officers, firefighters, and EMS providers. It supports training programs focused on balance, reflexes, injury prevention, cognitive conditioning, and situational awareness essential for high-stakes environments.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes! The Maverick’s design allows for a range of exercises that can be adapted for all skill levels. Coaches can tailor training programs based on the individual’s experience and fitness goals.
Grayson, an Industrial Designer, combines his design expertise with a passion for sports performance. His work is driven by the goal of creating equipment that supports the body’s natural movements while stimulating mental agility. Grayson’s commitment to quality and innovation has been crucial to bringing The Maverick’s unique design to life.
