Peaksware and LeMond Fitness Introduce Power Training to Indoor-Cycling
29 May 2008
A custom version of TrainingPeaks’ desktop software WKO+ called WKO Lite ™ is being delivered with every LeMond Fitness G-Force™ RT and G-Force™ UT stationary bicycles.
“The impact has been tremendous. From personal and performance training applications in the club environments to wellness based programs in schools and medical facilities, this marriage of equipment with a proven performance and results based solution further positions LeMond Fitness and TrainingPeaks at the front of the pack” – Kurt Kenney, Director of Specialty Fitness Sales, LeMond Fitness, Inc.
LeMond Fitness featured both the new line of G-Force bikes and the WKO Lite software at their booth March 6-8 at the 2008 International Health Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) trade show in San Diego, CA. The IHRSA show included mostly fitness equipment manufacturers offering demo’s of the newest trends and evolutions in the fitness and health club industry. LeMond Fitness isn’t alone in marrying software technology with fitness design manufacturing. However, they are one of the few companies who has chosen to partner with an expert in the software development industry rather than develop their own solution. And with a partnership of experience, expertise and maturity, Peaksware brings to LeMond Fitness a similar edge and quality that their stationary bikes revolutionized the fitness industry with only a few years ago.
LeMond Fitness’ line of indoor-cycling bikes are already a household favorite offering superior comfort and performance. The new G-force bikes are equipped with power meters and a USB download stick for easy transfer of data to your personal computer. Plus, all LeMond Fitness g-force bikes now come with WKO Lite™, a new personal training program. Created by Training Peaks, WKO Lite™ is an exciting new software program that helps you accomplish your personal fitness goals. With WKO Lite™, you can download your workout information from your g-force bike directly to your computer. Just like having a coach in your back pocket, you can use this information to create your own fitness diary and customize your g-force workout to lose weight, improve your health or train like a pro.
“The G-force bike is a great riding bike and with the ability to download your workout into the WKO Lite™ software, it turns the bike into a real training tool. This is perfect for anyone that wants an outstanding indoor bike and to track their progress using WKO Lite ™.” – Hunter Allen, Founder, TrainingPeaks WKO+.
In addition to the powerful combination of the LeMond Fitness g-Force bikes and WKO Lite™ software, LeMond Fitness is releasing never before available training plans designed by Hunter Allen, author of Training and Racing with a Power Meter. These three training plans have been carefully designed so that the consumer will get the most from their workout. Efficiency of time and body is the goal. Hunter has taken his years of experience as a rider and a coach to bring the consumer training plans that will help them become stronger, fitter, and faster.
The three training plans are built specifically for the G-Force stationary bikes and utilize the different pre-loaded workouts already on the bike. Each plan comes with encouraging comments, anecdotes, and inspiring quotes from Hunter. These training plans will be delivered through the on-line training log TrainingPeaks found at www.trainingpeaks.com. WKO Lite™ and TrainingPeaks are compatible allowing the consumer to upload their data into their training log further monitoring, analyzing and planning.
