What does "connected treadmill" or "connected rower" refer to?

The term "connected treadmill" or "connected rower" specifically refers to technology integrated into these machines that enables members to log in and track their performance data in real-time. This feature is essential at Orangetheory Fitness because it allows members to see metrics such as their heart rate, distance covered, and calories burned during their workout. This data is displayed on screens in the studio and can also be accessed later through the Orangetheory app, providing valuable feedback and enhancing the overall workout experience.

The ability to view real-time data not only helps members stay motivated but also aids in monitoring their fitness levels over time. This interactive aspect is a core part of the Orangetheory training philosophy, which emphasizes heart rate monitoring and personalized performance metrics as a means to optimize workout efficiency and effectiveness.
