CASE STUDY:

Technogym Japan Training Menu Personalizer

CUSTOMER PROFILE :

Technogym Japan Ltd. was established in July 2003. It is a partnership between Sony and Technogym, a market leader in the fitness and biomedical rehabilitation equipment fields.

CHALLENGE:

The exercise routine of the users at the Technogym Japan gyms was regularly updated into an existing application. The company wanted to add more value to the gym experience of their users by creating another application to automatically generate the users’ personal programs.

The main challenge in developing the system was to ensure that the complex logic for generating the personal program of users was successfully understood and implemented.

RESPONSE:

JLD Technology developed the Training Menu Personalizer (TMP) after an in-depth study of the logic used for generating the personal program. The logic pre-defined in TMP recommends the personal program for users based on their answers to the Lifestyle Investigation and Physical Evaluation forms. These forms are also pre-set in the main admin section but can be modified. The admin can also maintain equipment, gyms and users. Each gym admin has access to the pre-defined logic and forms and can modify them to a certain extent. The system allows the gym admin to select the equipment available in their gym and define the load for each. The gym admin can also maintain the users and allow them to modify their program.

The users of the gym can view their biometrics results and analysis after completing the Lifestyle Investigation and Physical Evaluation forms. They also receive an alert message to complete the follow-up form based on which the system generates the new personal program.
