Fitness goals. We all have them. Achieving them is another story. Apple’s latest launch, which has finally arrived to Dubai, is set to make your endeavors all the more efficient. Enabling you to pair your Apple Watch seamlessly with a piece of cardio equipment, GymKit is now available for members and guests of the Address Boulevard Fitness Centre. The technology allows wearers to track and record their work out with more accurate results. By simply tapping the Apple watch to the machine, the metrics on the devices match up. It then records data such as heart rate, calories burned, distance, speed, and incline to be interconnected between the two. Thinking of everything even if you begin your workout without tapping, and remember mid run you can still sync with the machine and see your full results.

Currently only working with GymKit in the region, which includes treadmills, ellipticals, and indoor bikes, the technology is expected to expand across the city and other brands like Life Fitness. “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,” says CEO and Founder of Technogym, Nerio Alessandri, “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.” Not only will this new technology be available in new equipment, the brand also has the ability to retrofit many of its modern machines. Here’s hoping more gyms jump on board and adopt GymKit soon.
