Technology has changed the way people approach to fitness and as new mobile apps and gadgets become available the tech revolution affects gyms as well. Gym members are more informed than before and want to be able to benefit of the latest technology when joining their gym. Treadmills, weight machines, bikes, and the whole gym equipment are changing because of technology. Therefore, it is important for facilities owners to stay updated with the newest trends if they want to provide a high quality service to their members.
Here are some of the companies that rule the world of tech fitness equipment.
Life Fitness
Life Fitness is one of the world’s leader manufactures of fitness equipment that specializes in the production and distribution of equipment for commercial and home fitness. Life Fitness has been around for about 40 years and developed the industry's first computerized stationary bike. With more than 400 products the American manufacturer provides all kind of fitness equipment with the latest technologies. Check here for the full range of their products.
The innovation of Life Fitness doesn’t end here. At CES 2013 Life Fitness announced a partnership with Runtastic. Life Fitness equipment will be integrated with the Runtastic app so that users can save their activity parameters straight into their phones. For example when running on the treadmill they can click ‘save’ on the screen and the session is automatically saved on runtastic.com (Runtastic, 2013) This is definitely one of the most advanced features ever presented: so far users had to insert manually their performances parameters on mobile devices in order to monitor their progress, but if this technology used by Life Fitness is fully implemented the future of fitness is definitely going to change!
