iFit Solves the Fitness Tracker Data Dump with iFit Coach
First fitness solution creates a daily game plan of personalized,
expert recommendations for the four pillars of health: exercise,
activity, nutrition and sleep
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At CES 2016, health and fitness leader iFit announces iFit Coach™,
the first-of-its-kind comprehensive solution to drowning in tracker band
data. The philosophy of the new service says, “It’s not what you’ve
done, but what you do next.”
iFit Coach is a radical new way to connect hardware and software, data
and results, consumers and experts. The service gives members expert
recommendations for the four pillars of health: exercise, activity,
nutrition and sleep. The daily plan is personalized and dynamic,
updating automatically based on ongoing data flow from a network of
iFit-connected devices including wearables, fitness equipment at home
and club, mattresses, weight scales, running shoes and more.
Throughout the day, the iFit Coach receives data from the devices and
adjusts its recommendations in real time, depending on what a consumer
eats and how they move — or not. For example, if your stated fitness
goal is to lose weight, and you eat a donut at a work meeting, iFit will
provide a quick after-work workout to cancel the effect of those
calories or adjust your nutrition recommendations for dinner.
“Many people use fitness wearables for just a few months, but then
abandon them because all they get is data, data, data,” said Mark
Watterson, director of iFit. “Our iFit Coach solution offers a simple,
single login to fix that problem. It’s the only app that tracks then
tells you what to do to meet your fitness goals. iFit believes to get
fit it’s not just about what you’ve done…it’s what you do next.”
How It Works:
The iFit Coach™ mobile app is the foundation of your $9 a month iFit
subscription — a steal compared to the costs of hiring a coaching team
of personal trainer, registered dietician, sleep counselor and running
coach. The app tracks your progress against daily fitness and health
goals in real time.
