CHALLENGE
Providing opportunities to blend exercise and entertainment is becoming a near-universal expectation for those aiming to pursue a healthy lifestyle. For many gym-goers, workout sessions are also a good time to catch up on movies, news and their favorite TV shows they are binge-watching at the moment. Whether they are visiting a public fitness center or exercising at home, modern consumers don’t want a one-size-fits-all approach to their content-viewing. They demand a personalized experience that instantly matches their own interests and that isn’t limited to shared television screens.
SOLUTIONS
By blending wireless content casting abilities with fitness equipment and a user-friendly interface, Fitness Equipment companies can finally provide enhanced workout results that are combined with superior entertainment. Casting technology-enabled exercise solutions are quickly becoming a popular feature and are already deployed across the US and in over 30 countries around the world.
Engineered with an eye towards superior flexibility, our approach to technology removes incompatibility issues that other exercise equipment providers face. A range of possibilities is now available to design the ideal casting-enabled fitness session, with options to make pairing with personal streaming subscriptions as easy as scanning a QR code. There is no need to input personal passwords, which can often be forgotten, so watching Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and ESPN, is incredibly easy, ensuring that your users’ workout session feels like it’s over before it’s even getting started.
Examples of compatible fitness equipment can include:
- Treadmills
- Stair climbers
- Indoor bicycles
- Ellipticals
- & many more!
“Fitness centers need to offer a differentiating factor that reflects modern trends and preferences,” says Gary Patrick, CEO of Touchstone 1. ”Integrating wireless casting with exercise equipment represents the ideal combination of personalized fitness and entertainment that is now sought out and that will leave a lasting impression as a result.”
Touchstone 1’s TV Casting also comes equipped with an innovative performance analytics dashboard that monitors individual casting device health in real-time. The dashboard not only prevents satisfaction-reducing streaming issues from going unnoticed but can also provide a snapshot into the quality of WiFi service signals available. Fitness Equipment owners can also leverage high-value data to gauge the success of this service and their investment easily.
