Moov Now Fitness Tracker – A Personal Fitness Coach Like No Other

Dare I say it?  Wearables are getting boring.  I am tired of seeing Fitbits and Apple Watches on everyone’s wrists.  If not a Fitbit or Apple Watch it’s another version of them.  I am ready for something different.  And, with Moov Now we finally have it!

Moov Now is a wearable designed to be your personal fitness coach.  It does what no other fitness tracker or smartwatch can do.  It uses your heart rate or movement and 3D form, to give you both audio and visual direction in your physical training.  It pushes you to do more, ease up when necessary or change your technique.  It records your workout results, helping you to improve your fitness routines.  Moov Now allows you to set your own personal goals and design a program that’s right for you.  You can choose your workout intensity and a guided workout program in swimming, running, treadmill running, cycling, indoor cycling, circuit training, cardio boxing or open tracking.  It talks you through all of your workouts (except swimming), correcting your movements, pushing you to do more and motivating you to keep going.  It really does feel like you have your own personal fitness coach.  What we’ve found really interesting is the swim coaching by Moov.  While the device obviously is unable to provide real-time, audio fitness coaching underwater, it does provide immediate feedback for swimmers on their lap time, flip-turn times and stroke rate once they’re out of the water.

The newest version of the Moov Coaching Tracker App has 6 new heart rate based circuit workouts that rely on body weight and 2 high intensity running programs.  Users can now also preview how to do specific exercises before jumping into the actual interval training sessions.  Workout screens have been improved to give you a better understanding of your training sessions and areas needing improvement.  Post workout report cards provide detailed information and performance measures as well as tips for future fitness activities.

Moov Now has all the typical components of a fitness tracker – it still counts steps, monitors sleep and gives fitness updates.  While Moov does not have a screen, all the stats are readily available on the Moov Coaching Tracker App.  It’s extremely light, breathable and comes in a variety of colors.  Worn on your wrist, ankle or both, it’s simple design has only a button on top that you push to start an exercise or sync information.  You can wear it all day or just for your workouts.  Moov Now is waterproof and dust-proof and has a 6 month battery.

Moov’s audio and visual coaching educates, pushes and encourages just like a real trainer.  Finally, something new in wearables.  Thank you Moov!
