I usually go to the gym three times a week. You can go in two ways, or you are going to do some directed classes, with a group of classmates and a monitor, or you go by yourself. I go my own way. I understand that each person is different, and should exercise according to their age, constitution, and physical condition.
The problem with going your own way is that you can fall into a rut and not try hard enough. You can help yourself with a monitor that controls you, or find your own goals and personal stimuli. Apple seems to want to help you in this matter and is going to launch an incentive program to motivate you to work beautifully in the Gym.
Apple today announced the launch of a new program called "Apple Watch Connected" that should benefit both gyms and their attendees. The idea is to reward gym-goers for using Apple Watch to track workouts, awarded with a number of incentives.
In some gyms Fitness Crunch In New York, your members can earn up to $ 4 off their weekly membership fee if they meet certain activity goals. It is advertising for the rooms, since it will attract new customers who own an Apple Watch, and consolidate the existing ones.
Any gym can join the program for free. They must meet some requirements, such as having iPhone and Apple Watch apps to track workouts, and accepting Apple Pay. The company also offers GymKit-enabled equipment.
There are already several American gym chains that have jumped on the bandwagon, such as Basecamp Fitness, Crunch Fitness, OrangeTheory Fitness or YMCA.
OrangeTheory Fitness, for example, has created a small device called the OTBeat Link that connects to an Apple Watch strap., allowing the watch to synchronize the user's heart rate data with the gym's own control system.
Okay, this has started in the United States, but if it is successful, it may soon reach our country. The question is: Will you kill yourself working in the gym for 4 Euros?
