COTTAGE GROVE, Wis. (March 7, 2023) — Matrix Fitness, the world’s fastest-growing commercial fitness brand, announced an integration with Aplifit, a digital solutions company for sports facilities. The integration enables connected Matrix Target Training Consoles the ability to report important user metrics to Aplifit’s system. The cloud-based integration is now available for all facilities that have Matrix Target Training Cycles and offer Aplifit Cycling.
“Our approach to technology continues to be centered around meeting our customers where they are. This ensures that our products can connect seamlessly with their existing technology ecosystem,” says Matt McConley, Senior Digital Product Manager for Matrix Fitness. “Our partnership with Aplifit reinforces our commitment to this philosophy. By integrating with Aplifit, our customers are able to deliver immersive and engaging classes with sought-after metrics their members want to help them reach their training goals.”
Once a user logs in to the CXP Target Training Cycle via RFID, real-time metrics including FTP and calories burned are sent to the Aplifit system via ANT+ communication. This data is then used to calculate % FTP and is displayed within their leaderboard for use in Aplifit Cycling classes.
Aplifit is available in Europe and Latin America and is compatible with the Matrix Target Training Console found on the CXP Target Training Cycle. No additional hardware is necessary.
