SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technogym cardio equipment is compatible with Apple Watch using Apple GymKit technology. After the first ever fitness club in the world offering Apple GymKit compatibility on Technogym equipment launched last November in Sydney (Australia), today, Technogym now features an installed base of more than 5,000 Apple GymKit-enabled pieces of equipment in hundreds of fitness clubs all over the world.
Apple Watch users can now track their indoor exercise (at home or at their fitness center) by simply tapping their Apple Watch to Apple GymKit-enabled Technogym cardio equipment including treadmills, ellipticals, indoor bikes or stair steppers. In this groundbreaking innovation, data not previously communicated will sync seamlessly, including active and total calories, distance, speed, floors climbed, incline and pace, resulting in the most accurate measurements possible. Now when Apple Watch customers view metrics during their workout, the metrics on the Technogym equipment match what they see on their wrists.
Nerio Alessandri, Technogym Founder and CEO declares: “At Technogym we are committed to promoting wellness lifestyle and to engage more and more people in regular physical exercise thanks to our connected fitness equipment and unique ecosystem. We are really proud of introducing in the fitness and wellness industry this integrated and innovative experience with Apple Watch and excited to bring this to exercisers around the world.”
