Long gone are the times when stepping on a set of bathroom scales was enough “body calculation”. These days, everything seems to be measured in more depth, and we love it!
With the health and fitness industry rapidly evolving towards more mobile and user-friendly technologies, we have ensured that every single one of our Village Gym locations now has the new Technogym Checkup machine installed, ready for you to use at your own leisure to track your progression.
After all, setting goals is easy. Keeping and measuring them? Not so much…
So, what is the Technogym Checkup Machine? Well, to start with, it is a great instrument that has the capacity to measure your physical and cognitive parameters for targeted training… crazy, right?
In a nutshell, it is a fitness assessment tool designed to analyze your physical and functional conditions, which then uses this information to provide you with a personalized training program with insights into your progression, all presented in a user-friendly format.
“It sounds complicated”
Not at all! Using this machine is actually as easy as 1, 2, 3, and to prove it, here’s a step by step guide:
1. Log into the Technogym app on your phone
2. Answer the in-app questionnaires
3. Complete the precise and reliable tests that appear on the checkup screen, which include mobility, balance, body composition and cognitive challenges.
Side note: The data collected through this is then processed by Technogym AI Coach, (Technogym’s AI digital trainer) and transformed into a personalised training protocol, based on real data which is always at your fingertips - ensuring a precision training experience, ultimately improving your lifestyle from all angles.
Receive your results, including your wellness age and personalised training program.
Retake the test every now and then to monitor your development.
Now, we know what you might be thinking, “But I don’t actually know what some of those things mean!”
Let us explain…
Your wellness age is an assessment of your biological age (how old your cells are) in comparison to your chronological age (how long you have existed).
A training program is a personalized plan that adapts over time to your goals, needs and conditions.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a set of technology that enables the machine to perform the tests required, analyze the data and then relay it back to us in a way in which we understand.
Insights are comparisons of your performance to a standard benchmark for your age and body type.
And now, thanks to AI, the training program adapts over time to be closer to your goals, helping you achieve superior results, faster.
How?
Science bit: A number of scientific studies demonstrate that regular physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle are key elements in achieving healthy longevity (living longer in good health).
In essence, regular physical exercise is a powerful medicine, but it requires precise posology. This is where the Technogym Checkup Machine is extremely useful, providing you with a metaphorical prescription (the ideal training protocol) to be administered as advised.
So, come try out this amazing new fitness assessment tool which can be accessed anytime, anywhere and start smashing your fitness goals through the latest advanced measurement technology!
