If you are currently running a gym business and feel that your gym needs something to stand out from other gyms, why not try giving them new and unique facilities that most gyms don't offer? It could be a provision of meal plans and exercise guides, or it could also be lending out smartwatches. Not every gym member brings a smartwatch to help them evaluate their exercise. Thus, giving or lending them one would add to their satisfaction level of being a member of your gym.
As a gym owner, it is up to you to give or lend the smartwatch to loyal gym members and new members who purchase the premium subscription to the gym. By doing so, the loyal gym members will be more loyal, and with such an offer, it's not impossible that the new members could be converted into loyal members. The more members your gym has, the more crowded it seems from the outside, and the more it will attract new gym members. A gym business needs to have as many loyal members as they can cater to, so your gym can have a steady amount of income.
But what kind of smartwatches do you need in your gym? SpO2 (oxygen saturation level), BPM (heartbeat per minute), and calories burned are the most common things to measure when exercising. To fulfill the goal of standing out, you will also need a smartwatch supplemented with features that stand out.
This is where Wonlex's fitness watch comes in handy. With Wonlex's sophisticated performance measurements, your gym members can see and evaluate the quality of their exercise. They could do so by monitoring the heart's beat per minute (BPM), the number of calories burned, and the oxygen saturation level in the blood. Wonlex fitness watch has all the needed features to calculate and show those measurements right on your gym members' wrists.
After all, it's not just a regular watch that can only tell the time. Wonlex's fitness watch is specifically manufactured to cater to the needs of a watch that could help gym members and workout enthusiasts to evaluate their gym activities. Exercises have different difficulty levels and duration, and every person will also have a range of exercise capabilities. It is recommended to exercise in moderation and not overdo their workout routine by limiting the duration or number of repetitions.
These are some of the features of the Wonlex fitness watch that will help your gym members measure their performance and capabilities:
SpO2 Measuring (Oximeter)
SpO2, or perhaps you might be more familiar with the term oxygen saturation, is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin in the blood that carries oxygen relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen. To work correctly, the human body needs a certain oxygen saturation level. The body might need more oxygen when doing heavy exercises like weight lifting or running. The same thing also happens when we are in the mountains or places with high altitudes. The human body usually could adapt to the increased need for oxygen, with the condition of the activities should not be too harsh. Health care facilities will often use a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen saturation by putting it on your finger. The healthy oxygen saturation level is at least 94%, up to 100%. If the level drops to under 90%, please take a rest and contact a doctor or healthcare provider. This feature is available on Wonlex's fitness watch, which is very practical, only by wearing it like a regular watch. The watch's oximeter will monitor the body's oxygen level with its sensor, and the watch's indicator will show the results.
Burned Calories Monitoring
Some people go to the gym to work and build on their muscles, others to lose their body weight and be thinner. Both goals will benefit from a healthy and monitored calorie deficit, especially losing weight. A calorie deficit is achieved by limiting your calorie intake and increasing your calorie spending. We need to burn them with activities like exercise to spend more calories. But how do they know if they're burning enough calories? Wonlex's fitness watch will calculate the number of calories burned by tracking the gym members' heart rate and activities and using your body height and weight information. Our fitness watch will calculate and tell your gym members the number of calories they burned during the exercise to see if their calorie loss target has been achieved.
Pedometer (Step Counter)
When using treadmills, gym members can measure their performance either by the duration spent running or the number of steps they have traversed. But how many steps are enough steps for adults? Tudor-Locke, C (2011) shows that healthy adults should walk between 4.000 steps a day to 18.000 steps a day to maintain well-being. To lose weight, 15.000 steps per day is the recommended number of steps. But not everyone enjoys counting and keeping the numbers in their mind. To further appease them, ease your gym members from the task of manually counting and remembering their steps. Wonlex's pedometer feature will assist them in making sure they are doing the right amount of running or walking, so they can decide if the exercise is sufficient.
Countdown Alarm
But don't worry if the gym members prefer to measure their treadmill activities with a timer instead of several steps because our fitness watches also have a countdown alarm that they can set according to their liking. Of course, this timer is not exclusive to running and could be used for other exercises available in your gym. This will help them have a measured time for each exercise. This alarm could also be used as a time limiter for an hourly or day pass to ensure your gym members could use the facilities within the given time frame. This ensures a steady flow of equipment usage and visits, which will help you manage the gym.
Find Device
Wonlex's watch is also complete with the Find Device feature to help you ensure your devices are only used in your gym area as a gym owner. This feature will also prevent gym members from accidentally bringing their smartwatches on their way home. Every gym has its facilities and features; some might have a special package to access the main gym area, pool, or the premium gym floor upstairs. If the gym subscription packages in your gym have different types of access, this feature will also help you monitor the gym members to keep them in their allocated area.
Conclusions
As a gym owner, it is always a good idea to give something new to your members and implement something different that makes your gym stand out from other competitors. Every gym has its strategy to attract new gym members and appease loyal members, so they always visit the gym.
Giving out meal plans and an exercise routine guide is a common thing given out by gyms to their members. Let's give something less common but equally helpful to your gym members. Lending out smartwatches during gym visits is something most gyms should do but haven't done. So why not be the first gym to implement this in your area?
With the features we explained above, Wonlex's fitness watch is indeed a great feature to be added to your gym. Complete with measurements of oxygen saturation, heart BPM, and calories burned will help the gym members perform better and evaluate their performance.
