GymConnect

GymConnect is a new digital platform for class based gyms such as HIT, CrossFit, Pilates studios. Built for 1 gym location to 1000's of franchises the system is fully flexible to the business needs.

GymConnect allows gyms to: 

  • Create a custom exercise library by filming short videos of each workout, then categorise each workout into training types & groups.
  • Build and schedule classes by selecting a date on the calendar and adding workout blocks
  • Pair and manage TV's across all locations and franchises, setup what type of content is to be displayed (e.g. workouts, timers or heart rates)

Pairing Process

The first part of the product is the TV setup process where gym owners install the GymConnect app on an Apple TV. They can either enter the pairing code on their GymConnect app on their iPhone or if they don't have it setup yet scan the Apple App Clip code for a super fast setup experience. Continuing on their iPhone the user can name the TV, assign it to a gym zone, and setup the TV type. TV's can be setup to display three different information types:

  • Workouts - displaying workout information such as videos, text and reps
  • Timer - showing how long is left in the current set and how much is left in the rest of the workout
  • Heart Rate - class participants can link their Apple Watch's to the workout and can opt to have their heart rate information displayed

Once the TVs are setup gym managers can now start adding content to the Exercise Library. They are able to record short 10sec looped videos and enter in information about the workouts. Once content has been added, they can start building their workouts, scheduling it to a and assigning staff members. Once its time to start the workout, the assigned team members can start the workouts from their device and the workout will begin on all Gym TV's.

Due to the ongoing nature of this project only a limited number of designs can be shown publicly at this time.
