The pandemic has upset the habits of life of the world population and physical exercise carried out in the gym is part of the many activities it has conditioned. The ways and tools used to keep fit and, as we told you during the lockdown, technology plays a leading role. In this context, projects such as Studio Smart Hub, recently activated on the IndieGoGo crowdfunding platform.
Studio Smart Hub is the final result of a combination of hardware and software that puts a personal trainer. The highlight is one 43 “screen (vertically oriented and easily transportable) on which the lessons conducted by the virtual instructors (treadmill, cycling, rowing, boxing, yoga among others) are displayed.
But what changes compared to any home training session following a YouTube video? The trait that distinguishes Studio Smart Hub from similar solutions lies in the ability to interface with the training equipment that the user already owns. If it is a third-party device with an interface Bluetooth, Studio connects without other steps; if it is instead of a traditional tool, project developers can provide special sensors to make it smart. The acquired data is used to process session statistics and show information such as heart rate rhythm.
