How FitLinxx Works
Most cardiovascular machines and Life Fitness strength training machines are directly wired to ActiveLinxx’s FitLinxx system. You can also manually log activities you complete in the Wellness Centers (e.g., running on the track, lifting free weights, swimming, group fitness classes, etc.) or outside of the facility (e.g., hiking, biking, walking the trail and more).
FitLinxx Interactive Coaching
When you do your strength exercises on a FitLinxx-powered machine, the training program coaches you throughout your set. The attached computer screen will display your speed and range of motion while exercising.
This interactive coaching and immediate feedback help increase safety, proper form, and motivation. The data that is collected is illustrated through graphs and summary sheets so you can immediately see your progress in real-time.
FitLinxx Performance Tracking
FitLinxx makes it possible for you to see your entire workout history in the facility or online at home. Progress reports including your workout history can be emailed to you. FitLinxx also provides personalized programs and ongoing individual feedback, making it a useful tool for everyone interested in knowing their health and wellness progress.
