It seems to us to be quite relevant data considering that few gyms can have the latest generation machines that are compatible with the Gymkit application or other similar ones. In this case among the prominent manufacturers is Technogym, which is within the seven that adds compatibility with this service and that you have more machines in the territory.
This obviously expands slowly but steadily. Proof of this is the figure offered by the gym machine firm itself and that we can find in its own website. Like we warned at launch This is more of an economic problem than a desire to expand, since these machines are usually the most expensive on the market and are not found in all gyms.
watchOS 4.1 added GymKit
This was the first step, having an application compatible with these gym machines to motivate users so that they can share your physical activity, heart rate, speed or intensity among other data directly with the watch and when they come out of the machine are removed directly.
In this sense, it is a good incentive to motivate the user to play sports, but to date they were only available in gyms in Australi, the United Kingdom and New York, now it continues to spread throughout the rest of the territory and they already exceed 5.000 compatible machines in more gyms around the world. The first gym to have machines compatible with this function of the Apple Watch arrived in Australia and the expansion is much slower than many would like.
