Angeion Corp. has announced that its New Leaf division has partnered with iTMP Technology to launch iNewLeaf, a fitness application that transforms the iPhone and iPod touch into a fitness monitoring system based on personal metabolic test results. For a limited time, iNewLeaf will be available for free on the Apple App Store.
New Leaf’s Active Metabolic TrainingSM program and test is offered in select health clubs, personal training studios, medical fitness facilities, and performance training centers throughout North America and the UK where a simple 10-15 minute assessment determines your unique response to exercise through measurement of the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide you breathe. For more information and to locate the nearest New Leaf Active Metabolic Training facility, go here.
Leveraging the iPhone’s internet connection to eNewLeaf.com, iNewLeaf downloads a user’s customized exercise plans and training zones as well as other data. iNewLeaf tracks not only standard metrics such as heart rate and cycling speed, power and cadence but also provides actual calories and fat calories burned. After a workout, iNewLeaf effortlessly uploads the workout data to eNewLeaf.com without the need to perform any syncing process or procedure.
iTMP’s US$149.95 Heart Link is a wireless bridge from the iPhone to fitness sensors such as heart rate straps or cycling speed, cadence, and power sensors on your indoor or outdoor bikes. It stores an entire workout’s worth of data, compiling information even if the iPhone is interrupted by a call or if the iPhone is not present.
