Health House
At the intersection of
Fitness + Technology
Health House, a local rowing studio, was looking for a higher level of customization and an improved solution for members to track their performance. Our innovation and technology teams built them an entirely new computer with an integrated LCD touchscreen interface that not only tracked users' workouts, it also sent an emailed summary to the user along with stats noting improvements from previous workouts. The rowing studio is accompanied by a 58-foot by 8-foot video wall that displays animation and computer-generated images, simulating the rowers on the machines actually being on the water. The wall interacts with the class using information that is received live from the rowing machines, motivating the participants to give their all.
Lighting was added under the water tank of the rowers that reflects the intensity of the workout during class. As the instructor leads the session, they can see at a glance who is working hard and who needs personalized encouragement based on the vibrancy of the blue lights. A light blue light slowly builds to bright blue as the stroke rate increases; a white light signifies that the stroke rate is too fast.
The 4,800-square-foot space was designed by architect KEM Studio, and we were proud to partner with Health House to develop customized digital technology to enhance the workout experience at their new location in the Prairie Village Shops in Prairie Village, Kansas.
