A Hybrid World, Athlo And the Future of Fitness
As we speak, the fitness world is changing with every passing day. A new technology called Athlo has emerged that promises to redefine how people train and compete. It allows users to understand their current physical condition and see when they are in optimal performance ranges by taking paired photos—like those taken for insurance purposes—at different moments throughout the day.
It then analyzes these photos and provides various results in real-time, including readouts about how well users perform during a particular activity or sport. The system can also generate “personalized goals” for users to determine what workouts they need to do to improve their athletic performance. In addition, the system provides precise statistics regarding the user’s performance during a given workout, allowing them to know how much they are improving overall.
Athlo Founder Matthew Mansell says, “The beauty of Athlo is that it allows users to quickly and easily become aware of their physical condition every day, or even moment-to-moment if necessary.”
The system is portable, easy to use and will appeal to people who want to watch their health and improve their athletic performance. Athlo’s developers see a wide range of potential users, including retired, stay-at-home dads, manual laborers and the elderly.
In addition to the traditional fitness offerings, Athlo has several unique programs that are unavailable at most gyms. These include the AthloFit Program, which combines elements of CrossFit and Functional Training, and the Athletics Program, which uses cutting-edge technology to help you reach your fitness goals.
Athlo could also be helpful to sports teams—like the New York Yankees—which could use it to help their athletes understand their performance and daily fitness and condition. Mansell says that retired athletes might especially like the app because it allows them to monitor and improve their performance without extra equipment or specialized training. Athlo also works with mobile devices, allowing users to take a photo of their current physical condition, a self-reported description of the activity, and another paired photo later. After the system’s analyses, users can share their results on their social media accounts. The next fitness unicorn might be just a few keystrokes—or photo clicks—away.
