gym80 giving feedback with Software
Offering guidance and feedback throughout a workout, Software by gym80 International is compatible with all brands of cardiovascular equipment using the C-SAFE port.
Sotware also works on gym80 resistance machines via an integrated LCD screen as members use a transponder (card or fob) or a five-digit pin number to access their programmes.
Operators can choose between a wireless or networked system.
The LCD screen, or WorkoutPoint, is positioned comfortably in front of the user while working on a resistance station, and offers varying graphics to guide the member through their workout. During the resting period, the screen converts into either a TV or a messaging point to communicate club news or advertising to generate additional revenue.
The system also has the capability of tracking who is working out on which machine in real-time; an instructor knows if a member is not completing their programme as prescribed, as they are alerted by the machines via a hand-held PDA. This can also be configured to be more sensitive to the elderly, rehab patients and GP referrals.
Being web-based means members can access training information 24/7 and get workout guidance at home. When creating a programme, the instructor can take into account the speed of the concentric and eccentric phases of the exercise, seat positioning, weights and range of movement so a member can feel confident they are training correctly.
Gym80's system also includes a FreeExercisePoint - a free-standing screen in an area with no equipment, or just dumbbells - with a virtual model demonstrating exercises.
