Smart Exercise Equipment



During 2020 and 2021 many people have found it hard to get themselves into the gym during the pandemic. However, some good things have prevailed from this time of isolation. Several companies have started manufacturing smart exercise and gym equipment for consumers. These new pieces of tech have allowed consumers to effectively join workout programs and progress their fitness without the need for a physical in-person gym. Smart home workout equipment consists of fitness devices with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. These types of machines allow users to stream virtual classes and interact online with other users and trainers. Most even offer libraries of guided classes with knowledgeable instructors as well as customized workouts and programs based on your individual goals and current fitness. One example of this is the Peloton program and community that uses their equipment as they are actively involved and lots of times people make friends through the Peloton sessions. These devices often have the accessibility to pair other smart devices such as phones and TVs to them. There are many different types of smart workout equipment as well ranging from workout mirrors, treadmills, bikes, and rowing machines. Some of the most notable smart exercise equipment is the Peloton bike, NordicTrack, VeloCore, and Tonal mirror systems. These pieces of smart gym equipment can be very costly getting into the thousands of dollars, however over time they outweigh the yearly and monthly costs of a gym membership. Many of them even offer payment plans that will be around the same price as a monthly gym membership. These smart exercise equipment pair very well with your fiber internet connection from Mid Century for the best connection and experience possible!
