A new version of the Technogym App will help you track workouts and have your own PT in your pocket
As a gym user, you likely have an app that tracks your workouts such as through an Apple watch, Fitbit or another activity tracker. You may also be using Strava, Garmin or Map My Run for any activities outside of the gym. You may have also used our UOP fitness App to keep all those apps and activities in one place, you may have created your own program or used the app to log in to some of our machines - it’s great for recording what level you last worked out at on the treadmill. You wouldn’t want to work less hard than last time, would you? The UOP Fitness app is a great all-in-one tool for tracking your progress and we think if you use the gym you should be using the app.
Well, have we got some news for you? If you are using the UOP Fitness app or even if you’re not, read on to find out the developments for the Technogym App and the great new ways it can help your training.
We’re moving towards the Technogym App and away from the UOP Fitness app from Monday 1 July. The UOP Fitness app is no longer being supported or upgraded so our move not only brings you more features through the Technogym app but UOP Fitness will soon have less functionality for you to take advantage of.
You have two ways in which you can transfer to the new app, you can use the following link to set up the new Technogym app or you can use the link at the top of the UOP Fitness app. You can do this at any time between now and the switchover period. Your data will automatically transfer into the new Technogym app when you log in so nothing will be lost.
5 benefits to using the Technogym App
1. Create and save your own workout or choose a pre-existing workout
- Creating your workout is so easy from the home page you can select from a huge range of exercises for all body parts - if you’re not sure what you want to do - search by body part, equipment or if you’re really not sure choose a pre-existing programme.
2. Log in to the equipment to track what you’re doing…or watch Netflix while you run
- Logging in to equipment through the Technogym app allows you to keep track of where you were last time, show what workouts you’ve done and you can log into your own Netflix to watch while you work out. It might make you run faster if you think Martha is chasing you (if you know you know).
3. Find out all about UOP Fitness services and activities
- The UOP Fitness tab will have all the information you need about our facility. Gym services, training plans delivered by our excellent instructors, information about our body composition analysis, gym rules and etiquette and any updates you may need.
4. Track ALL your activities and moves and get involved in challenges
- Connect the main apps you use to track activity and keep all your stats in one handy place. The Technogym App also gives you MOVEs for any activity you do and puts you on the leaderboard for moves compared to those in Ravelin Sports Centre. You can also take part in Challenges across the Technogym App and within the Gym itself to test yourself and see how you far. Challenges sometimes have prizes for the winners - keep an eye out.
5. Access training, nutrition, sport and lifestyle advice
- A wealth of knowledge is available for you through the Wellness magazine on the Coach tab of the app - read articles about workouts, training, fundamentals, nutrition, sport, mindfulness and some other tips and tricks. There is so much information on there it’s worth downloading just for the info.
Moving over to the new app is so easy and the increased functionality of the Technogym App means you’ll have even more tools in your pocket to succeed.
