ASSIST are passionate about ensuring that our customers stay ahead of the competition so we are delighted to bring you details of the powerful Timex Ironman Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System, due to be released later this year.
Designed for athletes who strive for the very highest levels of performance, the Timex Ironman Global Trainer is a GPS-enabled sports watch that employs advanced technology to create the ultimate training tool.
Providing athletes with the ability to measure, review and advance their performance, the Global Trainer features integrated SiRFstarIII™ GPS technology that requires no calibration, allowing real-time measurement of pace, speed, distance and more.
Compatibility is at the core of the Timex Ironman Global Trainer thanks to wireless ANT+™ technology which enables users to connect with their heart rate and bike sensors while performance data and training routes can be downloaded to a personal computer and analysed using TrainingPeaks™, an advanced online training log which allows easy customisation of users settings.
The Global Trainer’s GPS functionality will pinpoint your exact location and altitude while tracking your ascent and descent distances and rates. Users can record up to 100 location waypoints, ensuring they stay on the right track and creating routes that can be recalled in the future for pace tracking.
The Timex Ironman Global Trainer includes a wealth of must have features and an innovative customisable display that allows up to four windows of data to be viewed, placing a wealth of essential information at users fingertips.
Athletes can track their progress against pre-determined targets and finish-time goals using the built-in performance pacer, record up to an incredible 1000 laps of information thanks to the 20-workout memory with dated summary and log activities and transitions in one sequence with the multisport event mode.
The Global Trainer’s chronograph mode, which includes interval and countdown timers, records elapsed times and calculates how many calories have been burned, offering outstanding levels of performance monitoring.
Durability and long-lasting performance are assured by way of a rugged, water-resistant case and rechargeable battery. The Global Trainer is a stylish, powerful and feature-packed training aid for serious athletes who want to conquer every challenge that awaits.
The Timex Ironman Global Trainer will be available from ASSIST in the United Kingdom in September 2010.
ASSIST is pleased to offer customers the opportunity to be amongst the first to purchase the Tanita BC-1000 Body Composition Monitor, the latest addition to Tanita’s market-leading range of electronic scales.
The BC-1000 will be available soon in Britain exclusively through ASSIST and you are invited to contact your sales representative now to pre-order this cutting-edge body composition monitor.
Tanita has partnered with Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigations, to revolutionise the body composition monitor market by launching the innovative Tanita BC-1000.
The BC-1000 Body Composition Monitor offers users the ability to wirelessly link readings to their Garmin FR60 or Forerunner 310XT fitness watch using advanced ANT+ technology, while data can also be transmitted to remote displays, such as a personal computer or Tanita’s Remote Viewer.
In addition to weight, body fat percentage and hydration levels, the BC-1000 Body Composition Monitor provides measurements on muscle mass, overall physique rating, daily caloric intake, metabolic age rating, bone mass and visceral fat.
The BC-1000 Body Composition Monitor, which includes Tanita’s new HealthyEdge™ software package, wirelessly transmits these nine readings to your computer in seconds when in range using the wireless USB stick, offering unrivalled levels of privacy and discretion.
Wirelessly connect the BC-1000 with the Garmin FR60 or Forerunner 310XT fitness watches and weight, body fat and body water data will be displayed on your wrist, while all nine measurements are stored in the watch.
The lack of a display unit makes the BC-1000 quite unlike any other body composition monitor you will have encountered but Tanita have employed the ANT+ wireless interface protocol to provide health and fitness professionals and enthusiasts with the most sophisticated health monitoring technology on the market.
The Tanita BC-1000 is the latest addition to Tanita’s ever-impressive range of body composition monitors and offers unrivalled levels of discreetness and privacy.
