Fitness On Demand, an industry leader in omnifitness solutions, has launched a partnership with gBeat, a unified fitness focused platform for Apple Watch and Android/Wear OS smartwatches, to bolster its holistic wellness platform.
The partnership will see Fitness On Demand’s Flex App and Group Studio integrate with gBeat’s geolocation and heart rate technology, allowing members to better leverage their smartwatches trackers and improve their in-club experiences.
The smartwatch app will utilize geofencing technology to automatically launch when a member is close to their gym, studio or health club, creating a seamless start to their workout. From the smartwatch, users are able to track their workout and display their heart rate, training zone, calorie-burn and workout duration data on TV displays on the gym floor and in studios. Once a member has finished their session and left the gym, geofence technology will recognize their location and automatically end their workout.
Data from the workout is then recorded on Google’s Health Connect and Apple’s HealthKit, displaying a summary of the session including heart rate, duration and calories burnt.
“This partnership is a huge milestone for us as we continue to provide operators with every tool necessary to create engaging, holistic experiences in their clubs,” said Andy Peat, the CEO of Fitness On Demand. “Recent research revealed that nearly 400 million gym-goers are using wearable fitness trackers currently, with that number anticipated to reach 525 million by 2029, making this a crucial opportunity for the industry.”
Chris Hart, CEO of gBeat, added: “Fitness On Demand is an incredible launch partner for us, given their growing installed base and their focus on delivering the most innovative digital solutions in fitness.”
With this latest collaboration, Fitness On Demand continues to solidify its position as a leader in omnifitness solutions, offering operators cutting-edge technology that enhances member experiences. By integrating wearable tech, Fitness On Demand is not only aligning with the growing demand for holistic and personalized fitness experiences, but also shaping the future of fitness clubs by making data-driven, immersive experiences more accessible.
