Which machine is used, how much and when. What a member has done and when they last came. Which unit needs servicing before it stops. All of that exists — it just needs to be switched on.
The member taps their phone on the machine, their programme is waiting on the console, sets are logged automatically and progress shows in the app. The same on cardio and in the strength zone, at every location.
Official Life Fitness and Hammer Strength video. No sound, plays on a loop.
For decades gyms competed on who had more machines and more floor space. Today equipment is everywhere — in chains, in studios, at home. What is rarely found is direction.
People don't leave because they dislike training. They leave because they see no progress. A member who doesn't know what to do today, whether they are doing it well and whether they are any better than a month ago will sooner or later stop coming. That is not a motivation problem but a system problem — and a system can be changed.
What the trainer put together appears on the console and on the strength machine. The member doesn't have to remember it, carry a slip of paper or guess how much they lifted last time.
Sets, reps, load, time. No typing, no app to open in the middle of a set.
A chart instead of an impression. When a member sees they have added twenty kilograms to their press in three months, that is a reason to renew.
The latest thing Life Fitness has released for its consoles. No card, no password, no app to install — the membership card lives in Apple or Google Wallet, like a coffee card, and the machine knows who you are before you step onto the belt.
Every step between walking into the gym and the first minute of the workout is one somebody will skip. If login needs a card, a password or hunting for an app on the phone, the member simply starts without logging in — and everything else falls apart.
The digital membership card is saved in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. The member already keeps it there with their cards and tickets, so they don't have to look for it.
It is fitted to SE4 and Symbio consoles with a card reader — both new ones and those that have been running for years. The console is not replaced.
It needs stable Wi-Fi in the facility and nothing more. No servers of your own and no system maintenance.
A login that doesn't ask the member to remember anything. The same gesture they use to pay for coffee. That is why it gets used — and once login is used, everything else starts working: workout history, the trainer's programme, equipment usage data.
The console shows a code and the member scans it with their phone. An alternative for those who keep their card in an app rather than in the wallet.
Settings, load and programme from last time. No setting up from scratch and no trying to remember what it was.
Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, ANT+ and Bluetooth devices connect directly to the console.
The module is added to the console, with no replacement and no modification of the machine. Facilities are upgraded one by one, at their own pace.
The same logic, but on the other side of the gym. Cardio has recorded itself for decades; the strength zone and free weights remained a blind spot — nobody knew how much each machine was used or what a member had actually done. The solution is smaller than a palm and sticks onto the machine.
The complete kit. No cables, no services across the floor, no modifying machines.
A round badged module the size of a bottle cap. It sticks onto the machine — plate loaded, selectorized, rack, bench, dumbbell rack. The member taps their phone and the set is logged.
The phone sits on the machine instead of on the floor or in a pocket. A small thing, but it decides whether the system gets used or not.
It collects data from all the pucks in the zone and sends it on. One per facility, not per machine.
Every set, on every machine, in real time. No typing, no opening an app mid-set, no slips of paper on the bench. The member taps their phone before the first set and after that just lifts.
No cables and no running services through the free-weight zone. The battery is long-life, so there are no regular rounds either.
It needs no new machine and no electronics. A ten-year-old machine gets the same data as one bought yesterday.
Which machine is used, how many times a day, at what time. That is data that until now did not exist in any gym.
From the treadmill to the strength machine and back, in the same app. The programme their trainer put together is waiting at the machine.
The member gets a message as soon as they enter the facility — a new programme, a notice, a free trainer slot.
An overview of all the equipment in one place — for a single facility or a whole chain. This is the tool the member never sees, but the person paying the bills does.
What works, what doesn't, and where it is. For several locations at once, without site visits and without phone calls.
Which machine is used, how much and at what time of day. The basis for the next purchase and for the gym layout — on numbers, not impressions.
Consoles stay on the current version by themselves, without a technician visiting every machine.
Preventive procedures and fault reports go through the same interface, and the status of a report is visible at all times.
Welcome videos, your own programmes and a home screen in the facility's colours. The machine stops being a Life Fitness machine and becomes yours.
One for the member, one for the machine, one for the trainer. Each works alone, but only together do they deliver what this is introduced for.
One app for everything a member does at your facility — from the treadmill to the strength machine and back.
The puck that brings even unpowered machines into the system — described above, because it is the part that makes all this worthwhile.
The place where a trainer builds programmes, follows clients and stays in touch between visits.
Cardio is the part of the gym where people get bored. Content on the console is the difference between thirty minutes and fifty.
Guided workouts on the machine's screen — more than 500 programmes and classes, from intervals to rides through real landscapes.
Running directly on the SE4 console: Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Max, ESPN, YouTube, Spotify and Pluto TV.
Built into SE4 and Symbio. From their own phone the member casts their own Netflix or YouTube to the machine's screen — no dongles and no shared logins.
The phone charges on the console itself while the member trains. A small thing that removes the most common excuse for cutting a workout short.
Home screen, welcome videos and your own programmes. Set up through Facility Connect, for all machines at once.
On the Symbio line. 1080p resolution, touchscreen, big enough to really watch a film.
The biggest loss in personal training is not a poor programme but a break in contact. The client comes to a session, gets a plan, and for two weeks nobody knows whether they are doing anything.
When the machines are connected, the trainer sees whether the client came, what they did and where they left off. The next session starts from the real situation, not from the question “how did it go”.
It is worth repeating, because it is the most common misconception: a connected gym does not mean a new gym. Here is exactly what is fitted to what.
The module can also be added to machines that never had power — plate loaded, selectorized, racks. It runs on a battery, so there is no digging up the floor and no new wiring.
The result is that the strength zone provides data for the first time: which machine is used, how many times a day and at what time.
It is fitted to SE4 and Symbio consoles with a card reader, both new ones and those already in use. No console replacement is needed.
It needs stable Wi-Fi in the facility, but no servers of your own and no IT specialist on site.
An equipment list and installation years are enough for us to tell you what can be switched on straight away and what needs an upgrade.
Most facilities already have a system for memberships, billing or scheduling. Partner Connect is an open platform that connects to them instead of replacing them.
Members transfer their data into the apps they already use.
Integration with your existing membership and management system.
Machines and analysers from outside Life Fitness can join the same picture.
This is not a product that gets delivered and left. Someone has to set it up, connect it to your network and show the team how to use it — otherwise it stays switched on but unused.
Connecting to the facility's network, enrolling the equipment in the system and checking that every machine really is sending data.
Reception, trainers and the manager — everyone gets what they need. Without that the system runs, but nobody opens it.
First we look at what you have and how old it is. Only then do we say what can be upgraded and what cannot.
As the authorised distributor we supply licences and modules through the manufacturer's official channel.
Our own technicians based inland and on the coast, typically on site within 24 – 48 hours.
Several locations in one overview, with comparison between facilities.
Send us the equipment list and the year of installation and let us arrange a conversation. After that you know what works straight away, what needs an upgrade and what it costs.
