The tech industry has been making moves while you’ve been moving! Forget the simple days of the Fitbit or smartwatch. Fitness equipment and the ways we work out are being revolutionized. We may soon be canceling those gym memberships and embracing a whole new perspective on fitness.

Our technology is stronger than telling your heart rate alone, what if it counted reps, told you have strong your stance was, tracked your times, and was accessible from your own phone.

Smart Mat

Smart Mat is an incredible new technology yoga mat. It looks, feels, and rolls up just like your normal yoga mat, so what makes it special? Smart Mat is an interactive mat that measures the strength and accuracy of your poses in class or at home. It tells you when your weight is further to your right foot than your left. When your balance is off or accuracy is lacking. Upon unpacking you enter your height, weight, gender, and age then lay down on the mat. It begins to measure the length of your torso and the ratio between your arms and legs. This gives it the information to calibrate and tell you how ‘downward dog’ is right for YOUR body. “SmartMat will learn about your practice and grow with you, making real-time adjustments and calibrations according to your achievements and feedback.”

The Mirror

As if we are not impressed enough, buckle up for the Mirror! It’s like the Peloton experience only enhanced.
