GymFlow Helps Fitness Buffs Avoid Overcrowded Gyms
Few things are more disappointing than paying an expensive monthly fee for a gym membership and then spending your time waiting in line to use sweat-covered machines and dealing with immense amounts of background noise every time you decide to go. GymFlow is a cool product available for mobile devices that aims to help people avoid these frustrating circumstances. GymFlow is an app that users can download to their smartphone and it tracks the traffic levels at nearby gyms. Users can view traffic updates in real time to see how many people are working out at a given time compared to the gym’s maximum capacity. Based on this traffic, people can choose what times will be most convenient for them to visit and complete their own exercise routine. Rather than base their traffic statistics on social media check-ins, the team at GymFlow has opted to work directly with Gym owners to obtain data directly from membership card swipes and scans. This provides GymFlow users with a far more accurate idea of how crowded a particular gym is since many people don’t track when they go to work out with their social networking accounts. Many gym-goers don’t even have accounts for social media in the first place! Read more »
