The challenge was to design a system sophisticated enough to recognize, interact with, and motivate individual club members, yet be easy to use and able to withstand the rigors of a gym environment. The FitLinxx Interactive Fitness Network, introduced in 1995 now in hundreds of fitness and wellness centers in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, achieves all that with the help of intranet and touch-input technology. According to research the company commissioned, this utilization rate translates into improved member retention. Factura technology is a perfect match for FitLinxx's needs. MicroTouch's ClearTek capacitive touchscreens are calibrated to function in milliseconds without downtime through millions of touches.
Fitness clubs are often places of high humidity and a harsh environment for computer equipment.
We needed a durable and reliable solution, and the touchscreen kiosk performs consistently. Since FitLinxx has one vendor for the kiosk and touchscreen components, the company benefits from turnkey service saving time and money and reducing paperwork. Another benefit MicroTouch offers FitLinxx is the ability to ship finished kiosks directly to its customers.
