Life Fitness has announced plans to deliver the Nike + iPod experience on all of its iPod-compatible Elevation Series treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers and Lifecycle Exercise Bikes. Later this year, Nike + iPod users will be able to simply plug their iPod nano into the equipment at the start of their workout to record their results.
Users can then connect their iPod nano with their computer to upload their workout data to nikeplus.com. Through Nike + iPod, exercisers who workout on iPod compatible Life Fitness equipment will be able to track progress, set goals and make challenges on nikeplus.com, says Bob Quast, vice president of product management for Life Fitness.
When gym users connect their iPod nano to their computer, their workout data is sent to nikeplus.com through iTunes. This workout data is converted to “CardioMiles,” so that users of cardio equipment can easily set goals and participate in challenges with runners and with users of other cardio equipment.
On March 4, Nike and Apple announced that they were bringing the Nike + iPod experience to gyms around the world this summer.
Don’t forget the Macsimum Easter Egg Hunt contest.
