HealthPoint Members benefit from FitLinxx

Your connection to a better workout and a healthier you!

Southeast Missouri Hospital’s HealthPoint Plaza can help make your journey to a healthy lifestyle a successful one. At HealthPoint Fitness, wellness experts help members attain – and retain – a healthier lifestyle. And to assist you in reaching that healthy lifestyle, HealthPoint is the only fitness center in the region to offer FitLinxx®.

What is FitLinxx®?

"FitLinxx® is interactive," says Cindy Seyer, CRT, RRT, AS, wellness service manager at Southeast Missouri Hospital. "It’s almost like a computerized personal trainer." Changing trends in demographic status and the health care system have led to a dramatic growth in the wellness and healthcare markets. FitLinxx® brings the benefits of technology to exercise and wellness both at HealthPoint and on a home computer.

FitLinxx® is a collection of tools that link the HealthPoint Fitness workout equipment and provide feedback to the member with each workout repetition. It is a "virtual partner" and attaches to each strength training machine, taking the guesswork out of workout. For each exercise, it remembers your correct seat position, counts your sets and repetitions, and monitors your speed and range of motion. "It’s a record keeper," continues Seyer. "This way members don’t have to carry their record cards with them. Plus it gives the fitness staff a good way to track the member’s progress."

What happens when you exercise? First, you’ll check in at the FitLinxx® Kiosk where you’ll log in with your personal PIN number and then preview your prescribed workout.

While at the kiosk, you can also review your workout history in easy-to-read charts and graphs. Your fitness instructor will also be able to send you messages concerning your program over a computer monitor.

FitLinxx® allows members to progress through their exercise program to achieve the maximum benefit from their workout, says Seyer. "FitLinxx® stresses safety but is continually challenging the member."

FitLinxx at home FitLinxx® on-line extends your Fitlinxx® experience anytime, from vacations to business trips. Anywhere you go, you can log on to FitLinxx®. You’ll also have access to useful information; tools and experts that can help you succeed in fitness and healthy living and achieve that new lifestyle.

It doesn’t make the exercises easier, but it makes the tracking easier," Seyer says. "Members should have better results and better progress as they continue their fitness journey."
