Latest Mobile Technology to Keep Fit, with Celebrity Style Personal Trainers.

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND, June 30, 2007 -- British company Gamercize makes use of the latest mobile technology to bring personal fitness trainers within the reach of everyone. Personal Trainers, the exclusive status symbol of celebrities and successful executives, can be accessed directly from popular mobile devices. With announcement of the GZ Personal Trainer by Gamercize anyone can join the exclusive club. Designed to track performance towards personal goals and motivate individuals with a real fitness instructor, the new phone software is as quick and easy to use as sending a text message.

Statistics, calculations and recommendations can all confuse and hide important health information with clutter. Entering a handful of vital statistics into the GZ Personal Trainer, including height, weight and age gives instant feedback with a health check function. Industry recognised measurements such as BMI, body fat percentage and WHR are calculated instantly and the results put simply and clearly into one of three categories; good, needs work and bad.

Setting personal fitness goals is easy, but how many people can honestly say they track their progress and review their performance on a regular basis? This is the job of a personal trainer, where goals are encouraged to be reachable and can be revised through professional advice. Once or twice a week statistics are updated and progress seen graphically, in simple charts showing weight, fitness and sizes over the last eight weeks from start to goal.

Adding exercise data takes less time than sending a text message the category and level of exercise can be selected, from tennis to football, from weights to circuit training, from jogging to cycling. Each workout adds to a weekly total of time spent and calories burned which is reviewed by the personal trainer. The trainer makes recommendations and sets weekly targets, performance against which can visually compared week on week.

Company director, Richard Coshott says "People generally eat the same amount of calories as fifty years ago, this is well documented by governments and respected health organisations. Technology has moved on considerable in fifty years which has led to difficulty in getting enough exercise for all of us. Some professionals would like to turn back the clock, but it is my view that the power of technology can, and should, be used in better ways, for our fitness and health. The trainer network and phone software is a good example of what can be achieved."

The GZ Personal Trainer can also be used from a computer via http://www.gamercize.net, showing the same statistics and graphs vital to keeping motivated. The statistics recorded and generated can be shown to gym staff and fitness professionals, to enable them to save time on paperwork and concentrate making the most of precious one to one time on the gym equipment. Benefits can be experienced through on line demo and 8 weeks free trial membership using the company's website www.gamercize.net.
