WHAT IS...?
FITBEAT
A new ‘smart gym’ concept provides members with
personalised workouts in group training classes.
ailing from Sydney’s Bondi,
Fitbeat is a club concept that
fuses sports science with
technology and fun. The club’s Science
and Athletics Team designs and tests
every exercise and every workout, while its
sports scientists have worked closely with
tech-heads
to
develop
advanced
responsive group training environments.
Over a period of two and a half years,
a team of sports scientists, athletes,
personal trainers, software developers and
designers developed a personalised group
training model unlike any existing offerings.
Members start by selecting their long-
term fitness goal, choosing from either
‘Muscle & strength’, ‘Lean & fit’, or ‘Strong
& fit’. Then Fitbeat’s smart systems kick
in and personalise the entire journey, from
workouts to nutrition information and
statistics.
Every time someone trains, they receive
a customised workout aligned with their
long-term fitness goal. Workouts appear
on smart TV screens as participants train
through the circuit, supported by real
personal trainers who deliver motivation
and monitor technique.

In addition to the actual workouts,
members receive meal suggestions
that align with their long-term fitness
goals, as well as workout analytics
and progressive body measurements
that are tracked with Tigernovo heart
rate monitors and body composition
scanners.
FitBeat’s claim to be ‘gym smart’ is
based on both its tech features within
the club as well as the accompanying
app, all of which have been designed
with ease of use front and foremost.
The gym experience itself is
described
as
‘immersive’:
with
pumping playlists and synchronised
lighting, it’s aiming for a nightclub vibe.
The workouts guide members through
a 20-station circuit, personalised to the
individual’s goals. ‘Burn’ workouts are
fast-paced cardio-centric sessions,
while ‘Build’ workouts have a heavy-
lifting resistance focus.
Boasting 10,000 exercises and
2,000 workouts, the team at Fitbeat
promise members will never get bored
as they participate in vibrant 28 or
48-minute training sessions.
