THE GADGETS U
S-based The Green Fitness Equipment Company encourages gyms to take control of their maintenance
and has developed a number of tools to help them do precisely that. Its Treadmill Saver is a little device
that attaches to any treadmill to monitor its performance and let the operator know in advance when it needs attention. By measuring amps, it can tell when a treadmill pulls too much electricity, resulting in excess heat that can be damaging, costly to repair and dangerous to the user. Like a traffi c light, the Treadmill Saver shines green, yellow and red to alert you to any issues. The company also has a compact and
versatile gymTOOLKIT with over 200 manual and power tools that enable gyms to preventatively maintain cardio and strength equipment on the spot. It also supplies Gymbo’s Gymfl ix – a series of light-hearted, online, animated fi lms on maintenance in which Gymbo walks through the process in ‘how to’ videos. Meanwhile the Precor Preva Business
Suite uses a web-based platform that enables it to check the real-time status of equipment from any location, helping an operator to look after the value of their estate. For example, it can show what equipment is being used, when
“AN OPERATOR CAN SEE HOW MANY TIMES EACH MACHINE HAS BEEN USED AND FOR HOW LONG, AIDING WITH ROTATION”
The Treadmill Saver (above) attaches to the machine to monitor performance, while the gymTOOLKIT (below) allows gyms to perform basic maintenance
it’s being used, and whether it needs servicing or inspecting. It also reports on cumulative use, so an operator can see how many times each machine has been used and for how long – helping with equipment rotation to improve
lifespan. In addition, equipment that is networked to systems like these benefi t from remote software updates, ensuring it performs better – as well as offering the exerciser the best, most up-to-date workout experience.
