People are buying technology like never before, connecting to their content through smartphones, tablets, smart TV, PC and wearable devices. This trend has a huge impact on our industry and ‘Wellness-on-the-Go’ represents a great opportunity for all of us

Consumers now have more choice about how and where they choose to exercise, what they track and monitor and how they share workouts with their friends via social media.

Industry leader Technogym has developed mywellness cloud, a dedicated online fitness platform that can be accessed via connected Technogym equipment, and many personal devices, to keep operators and their customers constantly connected, thus providing a truly integrated and personalised training experience.

mywellness cloud for end-users
mywellness cloud is a platform that enhances people’s workout experiences and allows users to access their activity data, favourite content and workout programmes wherever they are, turning physical activity into a truly personalized experience “on the go”. Marketing director at Technogym, Alex Bennett comments: “In this era of the quantified self, members know more about themselves than ever before. The challenge for our Industry is how to tap into this data to gain useful insights to develop new services. mywellness cloud harnesses this approach, collecting data directly from equipment, and allowing members to aggregate their existing physical activity data from all the leading health and fitness apps in to one place.”

In the Gym – Smart Machines
UNITYTM is Technogym’s revolutionary cardio console. Built on an open Android 4 platform, it’s available on all Technogym cardio equipment. With intuitive swipe-screen navigation, users can swipe, scroll and tap through websites, TV, emails, social networking sites and popular apps while exercising. Users can also log in to their personal mywellness accounts to access real-time training data and programmes.

On the Go
Developed as a free app by Technogym for both Android and Apple devices, the mywellness app makes a member’s workout experience more personal, fun and effective by enabling them to manage their workout routine, track their results and access data on the go.
