Success Story: Health and Fitness

Overview
Anyware has been working with a large manufacturer of institution grade fitness equipment to develop a wireless ‘key’ that contains an individual’s workout history. This key can be carried between fitness machines during the workout process. When finished the data is then downloaded and reviewed by the fitness coach or rehabilitation specialist.

Business Issues
The manufacturing company believes that a large number of currently inactive individuals, "not yet fit", will become active if given the appropriate education, programs and equipment. The aging population and the high cost of treating illness are becoming a major motivating factor for the promotion of wellness. The ‘key’ system makes working out enjoyable and rewarding for the member and profitable for the club.

Anyware Solution
This application enables a fitness coach to select and set strength and exercise programs for each individual on his fitness team, and save these programs temporarily for eventual transport to the key system. When arriving at the fitness center, the fitness team-member inserts his key into a workstation, downloads his programs and workout schedules for the day, and then travels to his first workout station. The key is inserted into the equipment, and the team-member begins his workout. When finished with his workout, the fitness team-member returns his key, now storing data from his workout session, to the workstation, and the software uploads the information from the key for analysis. Reports can then be generated to communicate results with the fitness team-member. The Coach may suggest changes to the program, communicate areas of improvement, or point out problems to the fitness team-member.
