Opportunity: With the health crisis stemming from inactive lifestyles and poor diets growing, an increased community commitment to fitness is critical. Many community organizations - hospitals, schools, non-profits, and community health clubs - are jumping in to help fill the void and offer people a place to develop a healthy lifestyle.

Challenge: The first several months of starting a fitness program and trying to transform it into a lifestyle are extremely challenging for most people. Without a significant amount of supervision and personalized support, the vast majority of new exercisers drop out soon after starting. Once they have tried and failed, it often becomes more difficult to get them back to try again. It is therefore critically important to ensure they succeed on the first try. Unfortunately, the limited number of staff at most fitness centers is insufficient to provide the level of personal assistance that most beginners need.

Solution: FitLinxx gives staff the Intelligent Edge to provide personal assistance to members and help them succeed. Rather than simply supervising a few members’ workouts each day, an instructor using FitLinxx can oversee the progress of literally hundreds of participants. FitLinxx coaches the members on proper form, and reports progress back to the staff so they can lend support at critical moments in the members’ program.

Outcomes: FitLinxx is proven to dramatically increase adherence and retention rates for beginning exercisers, eliminating the need to increase staffing levels. This allows organizations focused on improving community health to truly deliver a total fitness solution for its members.
