Work out wi th a wearable personal trainer

Fight the flab and sculpt your best-ever body with a tech-packed fitness tracker and personal-trainer app

With wearables set to dominate the year ahead, it’s difficult to know which fitness trackers actually deliver on their promise of helping you to achieve a killer bod and capture relevant data so that you can chart your progress, and which of them are more novelty over function. Well, pro help is at hand with the Gymwatch fitness band.

Whether you want to fight the bulge or get shredded, the Gymwatch and its powerful companion app will help to quickly maximise your efforts.

“The patented Gymwatch is the first and only fitness tracker that precisely measures the full range of motion and strength expended in every type of exercise,” says co-founder Fabian Walke. “It provides real-time feedback to help users perform the exercises properly and get the maximum results from their workouts. With our app, the user can also see more metrics, like one repetition maximum, moved tons or power, to analyse their workouts in detail.”

Yep, you read that right. During your workout – whether you’re hitting the gym machines or free weights, or doing punishing bodyweight exercises – highprecision motion sensors feed back to the app, which then guides you (via your own earphones) through your workout, correcting form and full range of motion, just like a real personal trainer would. Gymwatch also records reps and sets completed; speed, rest time and even your heart rate via your Apple Watch (if you have one) for analysis and improvement.

It’s not just aimed at expert users, either. “Gymwatch has been designed for fitness beginners and experts,” continues Walke. “Beginners will get real-time feedback to help them perform the Real-time feedback and detailed postworkout analysis will help you get maximum results from every session exercises properly, and fitness experts will get precise metrics for their professional performance diagnostics.”
