Pixformance Sports GmbH has won the 2014 FIBO Innovation Award for the new Pixformance functional training concept.

Pixformance Sports GmbH has won the 2014 FIBO Innovation Award in the Training Concepts category for the company's new intelligent functional training concept. The new Pixformance interactive trainer has the ability to recognise the user, to design intelligent training plans, and to automatically improve learning and development processes. The FIBO Innovation Award is the first official recognition for the concept, awarded by a jury of medicine and sports experts. FIBO Innovation Awards are given out to concepts and products showcased at the annual FIBO trade show in Germany, which help advance the wellness, fitness and health industry through innovation. The Pixformance training concept beat 45 submissions and 12 nominees to this year's award.

Pixformance delivers a unique combination of functionality, intelligent training programs, motivational features, goal setting and correction. It is an intelligent functional training platform that consists of fitness stations, smart equipment and a web portal. The trainer offers individualised workout programs and makes sure all the movements are performed correctly. Acting as a personal trainer, the device provides instant feedback to correct the user's mistakes and it evaluates the user's fitness level and progress in training. The user's score is based on pace, precision, performance, and range of motion.

The Pixformance functional training concept has already made its way to numerous fitness clubs, which recognised the device's potential. 100 Smart Trainers have already been delivered and another 50 are on the way. Pixformance is easy to install and integrate within existing programs, and can also be used as a standalone solution for functional fitness. The trainer is suitable for users of all ages and skill levels. To provide additional motivation and allow users to keep track of their progress, Pixformance tracks each workout and logs it onto the Pixformance web platform.

The new trainer integrates all the aspects of modern fitness devices. It has a station that can detect the user's movement, a web platform to track the user's progress, and social media integration for extra motivation. Pixformance defines fitness goals for the user, analyses training sessions, compiles intelligent workout plans, and automatically adapts to the user. It delivers a complete functional fitness program and guides the user through the exercises.
