EXERCISE CONSOLES
TECHNOGYM
● Intuitive tablet-like navigation ● Skype option available on
Artis equipment ● Technogym App Store due to launch
Technogym’s Unity console is networked and connects to mywellness, Technogym’s cloud- based platform. Users can log in to the mywellness cloud through the console to review their fitness data and apply workout preferences. They can track indoor and outdoor workout data, access and personalise training programmes, take part in challenges, stay in touch with their trainers and view their progress. Users can also browse the web, play
games, watch TV, check emails and access social media. Content settings are stored on their mywellness cloud account. Unity on Technogym’s Artis range also has an integrated webcam, so users can Skype with friends or coaches while training. The console has tablet-like
navigation with swipe, scroll and click-through to different content. It has a virtual training feature with outdoor scenery, whereby users can select a virtual location in which to train, plus pre-programmed workouts, instructional videos and interval programmes for each machine. Unity is an open platform, so
Android developers can write new functions that interact with Unity equipment and users’ data. Technogym will be launching the Technogym App Store later this year, which will let users select and install applications on their Unity consoles.

LIFE FITNESS
● Android and Apple compatibility ● Open API (Application Programming Interface) platform ● RFID due to launch for ease of user identification
The Life Fitness Discover tablet console uses the Android operating system and Apple’s iOS platform to give users access to their personal music, videos, apps and books. Gym users can also access music videos and TV shows on the touchscreen console through ethernet or wifi. Discover integrates with the LFconnect cloud-based solution, which lets
exercisers log in, personalise their options and get workout recommendations. They can also access personal online content and browse the web, as well as creating their own workout programmes and setting content preferences. Life Fitness will be adding console options to identify the user, such as RFID. Discover consoles also give access to Lifescape Courses – six high-
definition hikes, runs and bike rides through famous locations around the world, with controls that adjust the video speed to the exerciser and resistance to match the terrain. Life Fitness’ open platform allows developers access to create apps to synchronise with the system – current apps include Lose It, Runtastic and SoFit.
