Running indoors isn't for everybody, but perhaps more people may find the fitness center experience more pleasurable with the Technogym Unity tablet at hand. This is project is a proposal for a hi-tech built-in enhancement to exercise machines that supplements one's workout with easily accessible information of all sorts.
Most notably, the Studio Visuale invention would enable users to reference regimes designed by their own personal trainers, in addition to a collection of other pre-programmed routines. These would sync with your treadmill, your cross-trainer or your elliptical machine to keep you sweating, all the while recording and displaying your stats on calories burned, distance traveled, time lapsed and more. A whole slew of features make the Technogym Unity a wonderfully useful piece of exercise equipment, and these are augmented by social media capabilities to keep you accountable for your training.
