NetPulse Brings Fitness Apps and Equipment Into One Place | Smart ...

I?ve talked about a lot of different devices that were created to track (and help users meet) fitness and health goals. With all the options, it can get kind of overwhelming! ?Especially when you have to transfer the information from your fitness device, to your food and exercise tracker. There?s a new platform that aims to simplify all this data into one place, making it easier to track.

NetPulse?is similar to Microsoft?s HealthVault that I recently talked about. Working with several third-party apps, as well as fitness equipment workers, NetPulse brings them all together in one platform and helps them work together to help users reach their ultimate fitness goals.

These companies have fitness equipment assocated with NetPulse:

• LifeFitness
• Woodway
• Matrix
• Octane
• TechnoGym
• True
• StarTrac

And the 3rd party apps that are working with NetPulse include:

• MyFitnessPal
• MapMyFitness
• FitBit
• CarePass

I was excited to see a couple of very well-known apps that can be used at NetPulse. I think that was a smart move to try and get those companies on board, because to me, they seem like the apps that most people probably use. MyFitnessPal is definitely my favorite food and exercise tracker, and if I were to want to use something like NetPulse, the fact that MyFitnessPal would be a determining factor.

One additional feature that NetPulse has that I thought was neat is the club app. It allows you to check out class schedules and track your exercise at your fitness club. While it works best if your club has fitness equipment that is compatible with NetPulse, even if it doesn?t, the xCapture feature lets you take pictures of the end-of-workout stats to record late. You get credit for checking out the class schedules, and all types of workouts can be tracked.

After you?ve set up your account, you can start to find out what NetPulse is all about. You can set up fitness and health goals to be tracked, sign up for challenges, and compete, team up, and encourage others.

This is really cool, and I think people that are really passionate about using mobile technology to track their exercise and nutrition will really get a lot of out of this. I?ll definitely be interested in trying it out once it?s available for the public!
