Connecting your body composition scale to the Fitness Hub not only simplifies workflows but also makes it easy to show members their progress. By integrating complex data from multiple sources, EGYM’s BioAge feature contextualizes results from various assessments—putting them in perspective with each member’s overall performance data. For example, strength test results from Smart Strength machines or cardio test outcomes from compatible Smart Cardio machines are combined to create a clear picture of progress.

This means members can see and understand their achievements early on, motivating them to stay engaged. This article details how compatible scales connect to the Fitness Hub in your facility.

Note: A compatible scale is required to use the Fitness Hub!

How are scales connected to the Fitness Hub?

There are two ways to connect body composition scales with Fitness Hub:

1. via direct connection with a USB cable
2. via cloud connection

Each method is suited to different needs, depending on your facility’s setup and workflows. It’s also essential to choose a compatible body composition scale, as not every model supports both options. Below, you’ll find an overview of the benefits of each connection type, a guide to which models support each option, and instructions for setting up the connection.

Direct connection

Benefits:

• Direct communication and integration of body measurement into the Fitness Hub onboarding process.
• Fitness Hub sends all relevant data to the scale during onboarding and starts the measurement right away.

To be considered:

Fitness Hub and scale are connected by USB cable (maximum cable length: 5 meters).

Cloud connection

Benefits: 

• Free placement of the scale independent of the Fitness Hub.
• In addition to the body composition scale connected via cloud, the standard platform scale can be connected to the Fitness Hub for direct weight measurement during onboarding.

To be considered:

If no standard platform scale is connected in addition to the body composition scale via cloud connection, a measurement via the scale integrated to the cloud must already be completed for the respective member before onboarding with Fitness Hub in order for the EGYM machines to be set up correctly. With cloud connection, this measurement process is not directly enabled and controlled by Fitness Hub.
