On the strength equipment the FitLinxx touch screen allows users to view personalized seat settings and proper lifting weight. The network then coaches users through proper range of motion and speed to ensure appropriate use of equipment and provide comfort in a safe and effective workout each and every visit. Once a user begins logging workouts they can access progress reports and will receive feedback and encouragement from the Health and Fitness Team. Progress can be logged and viewed at our FitLinxx Kiosks, or in the comfort of your own home by registering with FitLinxx.com.
