SmartGym, the acclaimed fitness application recognized as the Apple Watch App of the Year in 2023, has unveiled its most substantial update to date. This release introduces a suite of features designed to elevate user engagement and provide a more tailored workout experience.
Enhanced Personalization
Understanding that tracking performance and maintaining streaks are pivotal for motivation, SmartGym now offers custom goal-setting capabilities. Users can establish personalized objectives, monitor their progress through comprehensive histories, and achieve targets with the aid of detailed infographics that illustrate advancements over time.
The app’s Smart Trainer, which utilizes artificial intelligence to craft routines based on individual goals and available equipment, has undergone a complete user interface overhaul. This redesign facilitates the grouping of routines, simplifies customization, and streamlines the adjustment of individual settings, thereby reducing friction and enhancing user experience.
Live Heart Rate Monitoring
With the recent release of the Powerbeats Pro 2 featuring built-in heart rate monitoring, SmartGym has integrated support for this functionality. The app now provides live heart rate zone displays during workouts, offering real-time insights that are particularly beneficial for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and cardiovascular exercises. This integration also enables more accurate calculations of calorie expenditure during workouts.
Improved User Experience During Workouts
SmartGym has introduced several enhancements to improve the in-session user experience:
– Alternative Exercise Suggestions: Users can swiftly find substitute exercises, which is especially useful during peak gym hours when specific equipment may be unavailable.
– Audio Descriptions: The app now offers an option to audibly read exercise descriptions, aiding users unfamiliar with certain routines.
– Persistent Rest Timer: A new feature displays a continuous rest timer on the interface, assisting users in managing their workout intervals effectively.
Seamless Synchronization and Integration
The latest update ensures that new features are synchronized across multiple devices. Custom goals can be displayed as complications on the Apple Watch, and any changes made to exercises are automatically updated between the iPhone and iPad. This cohesive integration provides a consistent and efficient workout experience for users, whether they are gym enthusiasts or prefer exercising at home.
SmartGym is available for free download on the App Store, offering various subscription options to unlock its full suite of features.
