Progio Mobile, Inc., announced it has released a Web application of its exercise and training programs for iPhone and iPod touch. With Progio, users can access complete, professionally developed workouts with video and audio instruction on an iPhone or iPod touch to use at the gym, at home, while traveling or wherever they exercise or train.
“Progio is the next best thing to having a live trainer or coach when working out,” said Dirk Bartels, CEO, Progio Mobile. “Users benefit from having training programs developed by fitness experts without the cost of a personal trainer. And it eliminates the challenges of scheduling appointments with trainers, who aren’t always available when it’s convenient for the customer.”
iPhone and iPod touch users can purchase a wide range of workouts designed by some of the today’s best trainers and coaches – including Dave Scott, Michael George and Ian O’Dwyer – to help them achieve their exercise and fitness goals. Brief, clear videos demonstrating proper form and cadence, and easy-to-follow audio instructions guide users through comprehensive, interactive workouts.
To get started, iPhone and iPod touch users need to create an account at www.progio.com. Each registered user receives a free total-body workout and can purchase additional exercise programs through Progio’s online store at the same site. New workouts are being released on a regular basis and are available through the site.
To access their programs, users need to visit http://mobile.progio.com using the Safari browser on their iPhones or iPod touches (Internet connection required) and log in using their Progio account information.
Users also can subscribe to Progio’s online personal fitness partner, Hyperstrike.com, where they can build their own custom workouts based on their current level of conditioning, exercise experience, fitness goals and personal data, or choose from a variety of sport-specific, fitness or weight-loss programs. Users send the programs to their Progio accounts and access them through http://mobile.progio.com on an iPhone or iPod touch.
In addition, Progio is integrated with PTontheNet.com, the world’s largest educational resource for fitness professionals with more than 50,000 members. Trainers who are members of Personal Training on the Net can send workout programs directly to a client’s iPhone or iPod touch.
Progio also works with Dartfish, Inc., the leader in sports video motion analysis. Coaches can send Dartfish Mediabooks to a client’s iPhone or iPod touch.
