Galaxy Watch users can now seamlessly track workout metrics on Life Fitness premium cardio consoles

ROSEMONT, Ill., Mar. 11, 2020 – Life Fitness today announced Samsung Galaxy Watch devices (Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2) are now compatible with a full line of premium Life Fitness cardio equipment via connectivity to the Discover SE3 HD console.

The latest smart watch integration allows users who have Samsung Galaxy Watch devices to seamlessly and accurately track workout data on a wide variety of compatible cardio equipment, including Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, Arc Trainers, PowerMill climbers, and recumbent and upright bikes.

“Wearable technology, including fitness trackers and smart watches, continues to be a top trend among exercisers around the world. By partnering with Samsung, we are providing better results to exercisers by integrating their workouts with the technology they use every day to help them reach their fitness goals,” said Anthony Radek, Product Director, Consoles and Software, at Life Fitness. “To further enhance our connected fitness offerings, Life Fitness continues to invest in meaningful digital partnerships that create new and personalized experiences for our customers and exercisers on our truly open API platform.”

Exercisers can simply tap their Galaxy Watch on the console of a Life Fitness compatible cardio machine to sync their device. Once connected, the Galaxy Watch sends real-time heart rate data to the machine. After completing a workout, users receive a detailed workout summary on their watch capturing duration, heart rate and calories burned.

Dr. Kevin Shim, Corporate Vice President and Head of Samsung Health Strategy said, “At Samsung we are committed to bringing innovative experiences to our customers. With the integration of our Galaxy Watch devices with Life Fitness’ connected equipment, millions of exercisers around the world will now be able to work towards their fitness goals in a more efficient and effective manner through Samsung Health.
