Matrix Fitness Launches Apple GymKit at Jetts 24 Hour Fitness in Bangkok
COTTAGE GROVE, Wis. (April 20, 2018) – Matrix Fitness, the world’s fastest growing commercial fitness brand, announced today the implementation of Apple GymKit-enabled cardio equipment at Jetts 24 Hour Fitness in Bangkok, Thailand.
With this installation, Jetts members are now able to pair their Apple Watches to GymKit-enabled Matrix Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, Ascent Trainers®, ClimbMills® and stationary bikes to get the most personalized, accurate metrics possible with the first two-way data synchronization. Once paired through a simple tap to the console, the machine shows heart rate and calories burned directly from the Apple Watch, while the machine provides data on distance, incline and speed back to the Apple Watch.
“We are delighted to be the first to launch Apple GymKit in South East Asia,” said Michael Lamb, Asia CEO of Jetts 24 Hour Fitness. “This has been made possible through the forward thinking of Johnson/Matrix and their technology. It is a significant moment for us and comes at a perfect time as we are rapidly expanding with the Jetts 24 Hour Fitness brand in Thailand.”
“Matrix believes in partnering with our customers to help elevate the exercise experience for their members and guests,” said Mark Zabel, Chief Marketing Officer of Johnson Health Tech. “By introducing leading solutions, such as Apple GymKit, that both connect exercisers with the platforms they already use and allow for personalized metrics, we’re providing real, actionable data that they can use to help shape their wellness journey.”
The Apple GymKit is available on all Matrix Fitness 7xe and 7xi treadmills, ellipticals, ClimbMills®, Ascent Trainers® and exercise bikes. For more information about Matrix and available fitness solutions, visit matrixfitness.com.
