Hong Kong-based Eggplant Technologies introduced Move It, the four-in-one mobile-connected smart home gym that provides cardio and muscle workouts. Working with a companion app, the system can provide instant feedback on workouts, along with access to trainer-created workouts.
Move It comes housed in a compact stand — it is comprised of an Ab Wheel, a Resistance Band, two Push-Up Handles and a Jump Rope, all of which feature interchangeable intelligent handles and sensors that wirelessly connect each workout device to the interactive app. Each piece of equipment contains sensors that track movements in real-time and connect wirelessly to the user’s smartphone, providing feedback on exercise form, number of reps performed and calories burned. The handles also include LED lights to indicate the workout status and a battery that lasts through a week.
The companion app features pre-recorded and live workouts designed by trainers for multiple fitness levels.The app features pre-recorded and live workouts designed by trainers for multiple fitness levels with quick start options for limited time workouts.
