DON’T FORGET TO PRESS START!
Wearables - aka, the SMART WATCH - have quickly become one of the top fitness trends of 2020 and 2021. Wearables invite the option of making your experience more personal. Capturing information motivates you to exercise in your ideal heart rate zone, see calories burned and even monitor sleep patterns. In some cases, friendly competitions build a micro-community inside the fun and friendly group fitness program.
The foundation, the heart and soul, of wearables is data. Wearable technology has proven to engage members through motivation with visible metrics during and after the workout. Although you may not see immediate results in your body, you have immediate access to the numbers detailing your work, which is encouraging and helps you stay on track.
Smart watches, heart rate monitors and apps continue to transform the fitness experience. Newer companies like Fitbit draw inspiration from veterans like Garmin and have streamlined the look without limiting the options. Wearables are rocking the fitness industry and helping you personalize your wellness experience; especially in a group fitness setting. Pressing “start” gives you the best of both worlds; a personal motivator that monitors all your hard work, while being a part of a community that encourages and supports your wellness goals.
