Is an interactive terminal ( with personal workouts and ranking) interesting in a fitness club?
As a gym owner and software developer that loves technology, including 24 hour unattended access systems, I believe that your concept would do well in certain fitness gyms, like the 24 hour access gyms that do not have round the clock employees or personal trainers (PT).
I looked up your website and it was in French so I could not see all the services it has to offer. But if it provides the ability for PTs to give members workouts tailored to their needs (when PT’s cannot be there personally or members want to lower their PT costs by seeing them less but still being accountable to someone/something), sets goals, and keeps track of their progress (weight, body fat, etc…) and/or gives members the ability to set up competitions with other “friend” members at the same gym or competing gyms…then it will do well here in the US (especially the Bay Area, CA).
Does France have a market for gym management software (GMS) or other membership tracking systems? If so, what is your (fitness gyms) primary service providers?
Just curious because I am want to expand my market outside of the US as well.
I hope this my personal Insight helps!

Hello Susan
We totally agree with you, a device will never stand for a human.
but what about if this device gives you the possibility to ask for your personal trainer ( hard to find him sometimes 😉 )
what if on this device you can see your friends results and enter in a new challenge.
Our solution is a tool to create more connectivity between humans in a fitness club.
the device is just the way not the finality
How many people are practicing alone without feed back on their progress?
we give them feed back , a community friends to share. That’s why we created uPulse.
Many thanks for your answer and even if you don’t agree let me know thats how we progress.
We are using the solution uPulse.
some clubs are using the solution and they really enjoy it , we are now looking to export it.
However, the UK or US fitness market is very different than France. thats why we are asking for feed back and potential partnership.
uPulse is appreciated here because in 3 clicks your personal trainer can define a personal workout for every customers.
Each customers can check his programm on a terminal, he can also use internet or his smartphone to see his results, challenge friends and achieve his goals.
