# Cloud-Connected Gym Services This Company Helps Gyms Give Their Facilities a High-Tech Upgrade By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-03-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudconnected-gym References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2016/03/21/egym/?ncid=rss) & [egym.de](https://www.egym.de/) 'eGym' is a Munich-based startup that helps gym operators give their facilities a high-tech upgrade by providing them with cloud-connected gym equipment. While gyms have become more accessible to consumers over the years, many still lack data-tracking technology that could be used to improve the customer experience. As a result, this company is helping gyms attract and maintain more customers by providing them with tech-integrated equipment. eGym specializes in producing cloud-connected gym equipment that can be used with its accompanying app. The app can be used by both trainers and gym goers to receive [personalized fitness instructions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-ai-personal-trainer). The app also collects data that help the user [track their progress in real time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gym-graphs). This is particularly appealing for consumers who are looking for a more tangible way to track their progress and log their long-term fitness goals. In turn, this helps reduce demotivation and ensures that gym operators are able to reduce customer churn. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cloud-connected Gym Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Gym operators can upgrade their facilities with cloud-connected equipment to provide personalized fitness instructions and real-time progress tracking. - **Data-tracking Technology in Gyms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Gym operators can integrate data-tracking technology to improve the customer experience and reduce demotivation. - **Tech-integrated Fitness Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Development of fitness apps that collect data and provide personalized fitness instructions, attracting and maintaining more gym goers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fitness Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Manufacturers can produce cloud-connected gym equipment to meet the growing demand for high-tech gym facilities. - **Health and Wellness Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Companies can develop data-tracking technology and fitness apps to improve the user experience and support long-term fitness goals. - **Gym and Fitness Center Operations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Gym operators can invest in cloud-connected equipment and incorporate tech-integrated solutions to attract and retain more customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fitness Club-Targeting AI-Based Software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egym-genius.md) - [Connected Training Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-fitness.md) - [Gamified Strength Training Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtuagym-connect.md) - [All-New Fitness-Focused Business Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/business-suite.md) - [AI-Forward Fitness Software Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eos-fitness.md) - [Smart Gym Training](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwi-fitness.md) - [Gym Management Software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymconnect.md) - [Personalized AI Workouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartgym.md) - [AI Fitness Coaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymble.md)
