Virgin Active thinks wearables are the future of gyms

Virgin Active has a vision for the gym of the future, and it’s powered by wearable electronics. The company is currently ready to launch two new gyms that rely on wearable technology for essentially everything, and will utilize some high-tech workout equipment as well. 

Don’t believe that wearable technology is the only thing that pub bores will be talking about in 2015? Virgin Active might change your mind, since the company’s ready to launch two new gyms that rely upon wrist-worn devices for pretty much everything. The branches, located in Cannon Street and Paddington, will ditch access cards and locker keys in favor of an “interactive wrist band,” which, apparently, will also track and measure how many times you melt down on the treadmill each day.
