Kinetic offers GymAware Systems, which include the GymAware Power Tool, Sensor and User accounts. Getting going with GymAware is very simple.

GymAware system is universal, simple and portable. The hardware is supplied in a Pelican carry case.

They can be used with the vast majority of gym equipment including pin loaded machines and free weights. They can be set up in under one minute, by magnetic attachment to equipment.

Place the GymAware Power Tool sensor on a small mass on the ground; attach the end of the tether to the weights bar or pin load weights stack using the Velcro strap. (as shown right)

Apple iPhone

The GymAware system can be used with an iPhone or iTouch  device. The GymAware system gives instant feedback to the coach and athlete in the gym while training. With wireless connectivity it allows easy execution. It is a very powerful motivation tool as it encourages competition and accountability in each and every effort. The iPhone can report on eleven different measurement parameters including peak and average power reported as absolute or relative to bodyweight, velocity, distance, rep rate and more. All this data is stored on the iPhone under each user and can be reviewed at any time.

Usage

There are two main modes of use, Single User and Group. They can be used in either mode whenever the need arises that run each athlete though a battery of tests. They simply select the athlete from a list, enter the lift weight, and then conduct the test.

All results are automatically stored under each user. If general monitoring is the aim then sensors can be set up on a range of equipment with an iTouch or iPad on each one. The athlete then selects their own name and weight as they do their workout. At the end of the session the data is uploaded to the analysis server and automatically stored in the database under each user, simply by pressing the sync button.

Data Management

GymAware allows users to easily monitor athletes by producing and storing useful data. Coaches rarely have the time required to keep all the results on each athlete organised and accessible. GymAware solves this problem by storing all athlete results in a globally accessible database via the Internet at gymaware.kinetic.com.au
