We have created an integrated experience that makes it possible to simultaneously track sensors and play multimedia content in a single application.

This features is available in our Group Fitness Premium application and allows a coach to play videos and/or music while tracking the workout data.

With just one click, it is possible to switch, during the session, from the video to the tracking screen.

The multimedia content together with the structured workouts feature allows the coach to create highly interactive and structured experiences.

How It works

Three steps

1) Enable the multimedia feature in the Settings of the application
2) Upload your media content on the SELFLOOPS website from the Video Library menu
3) Select on the Group Fitness application the media content you want to play from the Media Content section.

After that, you just need to select START to start the session and have the real-time data tracking together with the video.

The icon on the top right of the main screen allows you to switch between the real-time tracking screen to the video.

The Group Fitness applications have the option to add gamification to the experience. You can enable this option in the Settings of the application.

Gamification is the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) applied in this case to fitness workouts. Gamification encourages engagement with the service and makes the experience more fun.
