Intelligent workouts the result of Technogym integration with Polar
Technogym’s fitness equipment and solutions have been integrated with Polar products with the aim of creating a “more engaging wellness on the go experience”. Polar develops heart-rate sensors, training apps, wearable sports devices and activity trackers.
Users of Technogym’s mywellness app can experience this connectivity, made possible by the Technogym Ecosystem solution and the new mywellness cloud open platform.
Connectivity includes every Polar device that stores data on the Polar Flow web service or the Polar Personal Trainer at polarpersonaltrainer.com. All data captured with the Polar H7 heart rate sensor and the newest system for group classes, called Polar Flow for Club, also benefits from the same connectivity.
The integration means that user data captured by Polar products during indoor or outdoor training sessions – like heart rate, GPS map or workout intensity – can be accessed on the wellness cloud as well as Polar’s own data platforms.
“Using workout data intelligently enables users to train smarter,” said Marco Suvilaakso, product director at Polar.
With over 2,000 employees across 14 branches, Technogym is present in over 100 countries. More than 65,000 wellness centres are equipped with Technogym and 35 million users train every day on Technogym equipment. Technogym was the official supplier for the past seven Olympic Games, from Sydney 2000 to PyeongChang 2018.
