How Fitness Studios Are Using Technology to Get Gym Goers Better Results

November 18, 2015 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

Everyone could use a bit of a boost in their exercise regimen every now and again. Whether it’s in the form of an energy drink, a piece of equipment perfectly suited for your physical needs, or some new technology that can keep you updated on how many calories you’ve burned. These fitness devices not only help to elevate your workout they also play a role in daily life.  The Apple Watch recently made news when it helped to save the life of a young high-school senior, Paul Houle Jr. with its heart rate monitor technology. It’s great to be able to have such helpful devices in the palm of your hand. Here are some of the ways exercises classes are using technology to help member get a better workout.

Equinox gyms

Equinox gyms have always had their cycling classes, but they have received a sweet upgrade which hooks up riders with “in-studio gaming and data visualization.” With their bikes synced up to a massive screen that stretching across the entire studio, cyclists are able to visually witness how fast they’re going.  They can also see how far they’ve ridden, and how they’re doing in relation to their classmates.

Fitness Tips: Fitness devices that allow you to see your distance, speed, and calories burned allow the trainee to get a sense of accomplishment for their workout.  The added benefit of competing with others, allows riders to feel as though they are part of a community, while feeding the need to compete.   All of these characters satisfy psychological aspects that make up a success full routine and one that people will maintain over time.

Flywheel

The stadium cycling chain Flywheel, on the other hand, allows everyone to sync up to leaderboards. They’re all in the same studio and can compete with one another, comparing their results with other bike riders in various other locations. While the riders are getting their sweat on, the names of the top 10 women and men in the class will begin to flash on the screen all throughout the class. Flywheel also allows you to keep track of your own progress: your total miles, your average speed, your calories burned and even how you compare to everyone else in the class.

Apparel

Fitness tracking has already begun being incorporated into athletic clothing and apparel of all sorts. Everything from galvanic skin response, to blood oxygen levels, from your emotional state, to your lung capacity, from geolocation, to active advice on how to succeed, has been incorporated into tiny new devices. Athos, the world’s first smart clothing, has created fitness apparel with integrated, non-adhesive biosignal sensors woven directly into the fabric.

Whether you’re taking a class or working out on your own, it’s important to see not the psychology behind fitness.  These studios have already pin pointed some of the key factors for success.  Tracking results, community, competition, and accountably are all things that will keep you focused!
