While they could be argued as both a positive and negative force in the industry, there is no denying the rise of fit-technology with the likes of health apps, fit watches and trackers being described as ‘your virtual PT’. Whether you find regularly tracking your progress motivating or not, National Fitness Manager at Fitness First Michael Cunico knows there is something to be said about fittechnology and shares with Oxygen how it could help you reach your goals in no time!
