Interactive Training:
Passport Media Player,
Horizon Fitness
Away from everyday training and towards
the most beautiful holiday regions around
the globe. Interactive training is the trend of
the future at Horizon Fitness, too. The player
only has to be connected to the television
and you are already running, driving or hiking
through real landscapes. The interactive
training software Virtual Active, which is
played on he player from a USB, varies
the device’s resistance depending on the
video landscapes slope. On treadmills, the
inclination is adjusted, the playing speed of
the video on the other hand adjusts to the
training person’s speed an even ambient
noises can be taken in. The Passport Media
Player is sold separately and works entirely
with all training devices which are labelled
with “Passport Ready”.
Workout-Tracking: Viewfit, Horizon Fitness
The topic of “Workout Tracking” is an additional must-have for every fitness
fan. Thereby the training device is connected to the favourite fitness apps and
social networks. Viewfit is an exclusive form of workout tracking –furthermore
the program facilitates the recording of fitness data, which means that
all training sessions that are absolved on the fitness devices at home don’t
have to separately be transferred to the corresponding fitness app. Thereby
there are two possibilities of keeping an eye on the activities and results,
setting new goals or participating in competitions. The advantages:
Measuring and keeping track of the health and fitness data can help to keep
the ball. Goals and successes can be shared with friends without problem.
That is motivational and is obligational. Most favourites like Facebook,
MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper, fitbit and many others are already available.
The Power-Board:
In-Trinity, Matrix
The In-Trinity looks like an incline bench
with sticks and belts as accessories but there
is much more behind the reduced outer
appearance: The elevated platform enables
movement in the most limited space which
extends the radius of possible exercises and
enables new ones. The innovative training
system uses the body’s bio mechanics and
gravity in order to intensify exercises and in
order to strengthen muscle development,
balance and flexibility. That was also well
received this year’s ISPO-Awards’ jury which is
why the In-Trinity by Matrix was honoured with
an award in the category Health & Fitness.
