Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GRMN), today announced an integration with the GOLD’S AMP™
music-driven digital personal training app by Gold’s Gym to display
heart rate in real-time with compatible Garmin devices1, improving
the effectiveness of user workouts.
As the world’s trusted fitness authority, Gold’s Gym introduced
the GOLD’S AMP™ audio coaching and music app in 2017
to Gold's Gym members and non-members alike. The GOLD'S AMP™
app layers innovative workouts from expert Gold’s Gym coaches with
curated music playlists to provide motivating, results-driven
workouts on demand.
“GOLD’S AMP™ provides users with expert guidance,
coaching and encouragement every step of their workout,” said
Gold’s Gym Senior Vice President of Revenue Management and
Strategic Partnerships Josh Rider. “Teaming up with Garmin as a
leading wearable technology provider is a natural fit for
GOLD’S AMP™ as we continue to expand and enhance the
experience and results tracking we provide within the app.”
The Garmin integration will make the experience of starting a
workout with GOLD'S AMP™ even more interactive as users with
compatible Garmin devices such as the vívoactive® 3, the fēnix® 5
series and the Forerunner® 645 Music, will now see their heart rate
displayed in real-time on the mobile app throughout their workouts.
Heart rate data can be used to improve performance and accomplish
fitness goals faster.
“We know through our many years of experience in the fitness
wearables space that the importance of heart rate monitoring during
exercise simply cannot be overstated,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice
president of global consumer sales. “Through this collaboration
with Gold’s Gym, we’re excited to combine our two areas of
expertise to provide a digital personal training experience like no
other.”
Later this fall, users will be able to log and store workout
data in both GOLD'S AMP™ and the Garmin Connect™ mobile app,
with a GOLD’S AMP™ Connect IQ app coming soon to compatible
devices.
The ever-expanding portfolio of Garmin wearables have a variety
of features to enhance and promote healthy and active lifestyles.
Using Garmin Elevate™ wrist-based heart rate2 technology to stay
motivated throughout the GOLD'S AMP™ workouts is a perfect
example of how Garmin Health partners can take advantage of
Garmin’s cutting-edge wearable technology. New Garmin wearables
features like music and training plans provide endless
opportunities for future innovations between Gold’s Gym and
Garmin.
GOLD’S AMP™ features hundreds of in-gym and outdoor
workouts along with thousands of commercial-free DJ mixes and is
available in the U.S. and Canada for iOS and Android on the App
Store and Google Play for $9.99 USD per month.
1 Compatible Garmin devices include vivosmart 3, vivosport,
vivomove HR, vivoactive 3, Forerunner 645, Forerunner 645 Music,
fēnix 5s, fēnix 5, and fēnix 5x.2 See Garmin.com/ataccuracy
