Anytime Fitness launches ‘personal trainer in your pocket’
POSTED 11 Jul 2017 . BY Deven Pamben
The app is available on iOS and Android devices
Anytime Fitness has launched a free app that has been integrated with platforms MapMyFitness MVP and PumpOne’s FitnessBuilder Plus, offering gym-goers access to more than 1,100 different workouts and over 2,700 exercises.

Available on iOS and Android devices, Anytime Workouts allows users to set their goals while tracking progress through a dashboard that measures club visits, workouts completed, calories burned, steps taken, minutes active and other trackable achievements.

Members can either select a plan, choose a pre-made workout, or create their own, along with the tools to track their progress.

Brett Edwards, Anytime Fitness UK general manager, said: “The average person knows under 50 exercises, so the launch of Anytime Workouts is a real game-changer.

“In developing Anytime Workouts, our goal was to boost members' confidence by giving them the tools and the know-how with a vast library of workouts to choose from, as well as guidance and support to achieve their goals.”

Anytime Fitness acquired PumpOne in 2015 – a mobile personal training app developer - which means members can access a mobile library of workouts and fitness plans through the app. Additionally, the integration of MapMyFitness allows users to track their outdoor training and connect to fitness trackers.

Chuck Runyon, Anytime Fitness chief executive, said: “The most important piece of fitness equipment isn’t found inside our clubs, it’s in the pocket of nearly every member. They lift it more often than a fork and, at a minimum, it’s used 50 times more often than a treadmill. The most important piece of wellness technology is the smartphone.

“Now, we’re bringing a new level of personalisation, support and information on demand – via a virtual coach in their pocket – to our members inside their home, work or wherever they may be.”

Anytime Fitness has more than 120 gyms in the UK and over 3,500 worldwide.
