What is FitLinxx?

FitLinxx is a computerized system that attaches directly to existing fitness equipment, adding an extraordinary “intelligent” dimension to the workout experience for the first time.

FitLinxx “learns” users' programs, “coaches” them individually through their workout for better form, safety and confidence during every exercise, and “tracks” their progress over time. On strength equipment, FitLinxx appears as an easy-to-read touch-screen display that's attached to the machine.

For cardiovascular equipment, each machine's existing console is simply networked to FitLinxx. Users simply tap in their PIN to display their targets. FitLinxx then coaches them on speed, form, heart rate, etc., and tracks the workout session – every rep, set and step.

Behind the scenes, all the exercise machines are networked into a central database, providing exercisers and staff access to a wealth of information on individual progress and a unique set of motivational tools. The system can be accessed on workout-floor kiosks, at the staff computer station, or anytime/anywhere on the web.

By adding this unique mental edge to physical training, FitLinxx provides better results for exercisers.
