Fitness is belonging. Members who feel part of a community show up more, stay longer and bring friends.
That’s why SELFLOOPS Spark now includes Chat and Feed.
Coaches and members can message each other, and workouts and milestones are shared automatically (if the user enables it), with likes and comments built in.
The loop that keeps members coming back
Workouts spark the conversation, and the conversation drives the next session. A member finishes a ride, a friend comments, a coach replies, and tomorrow’s session is already booked. That loop is what builds habit, and habit is what builds retention.
What this means for your business
Higher engagement: members who interact with each other and with your coaches come back more often.
Stronger retention: belonging is the hardest thing for a competitor to copy.
A community you own: conversations and activity stay inside your branded app, not on third-party platforms.
The fitness industry is evolving faster than ever. Today’s members are looking for experiences that are engaging, motivating, and memorable—not just another workout.
Imagine walking into a studio where the walls and floor come alive with dynamic projections. Interactive targets appear around the room, participants move, jump, and tap illuminated objects, and every exercise feels like playing a real-life video game. The environment reacts instantly to every movement, creating an exciting and immersive experience that keeps members focused, energized, and eager to come back.
But creating an unforgettable class is only part of the story.
Real-Time Performance Tracking That Motivates Everyone
While participants interact with the immersive environment, SELFLOOPS adds another powerful dimension: live physiological feedback.
Using the SELFLOOPS Real-Time API, every participant’s heart rate, training zone, calories burned, and workout intensity are displayed on a fully customizable interface projected onto large screens or integrated directly into the immersive visual experience.
Members instantly know whether they need to push harder or recover, while coaches can monitor the entire class in real time and provide personalized guidance without interrupting the flow of the workout.
Instead of guessing how hard they’re working, every participant trains with objective, live performance data.
An Experience That Goes Beyond Entertainment
Interactive lighting and projection mapping create excitement, but measurable results keep members coming back.
SELFLOOPS transforms immersive workouts into data-driven training sessions by collecting and analyzing every metric throughout the class.
After each workout:
Members automatically receive a personalized post-workout email report.
Heart rate data, calories, training load, and workout history are securely stored in the SELFLOOPS cloud.
Coaches gain valuable insights into attendance, performance trends, and member progress.
Gyms build long-term engagement through measurable improvement instead of one-time excitement.
Every session becomes part of each member’s fitness journey.
Unlimited Customization Through the SELFLOOPS Real-Time API
Every immersive studio has its own style, branding, and workout concept.
That’s why the SELFLOOPS Real-Time API allows developers and technology partners to integrate live physiological data into virtually any immersive fitness experience.
Whether your studio uses:
Projection mapping
LED walls
Interactive floors
Gamified fitness experiences
Mixed reality environments
Custom scoring systems
SELFLOOPS can stream real-time performance data directly into your application, creating a seamless experience where fitness metrics become part of the game itself.
The result is an environment where technology, entertainment, and sports science work together to maximize motivation.

Bring your immersive fitness experience to life with SELFLOOPS—and let every workout become an unforgettable, data-driven adventure.
One of the biggest challenges when introducing group heart rate training is getting members onboard quickly and efficiently.
Until now, staff often had to register new users, assign them to the gym, and manually configure their heart rate monitors. While this process wasn’t difficult, it still required staff time—especially during busy class schedules.
We’re excited to introduce a new feature that changes all of that.
Members Can Now Set Everything Up by Themselves
With the latest version of the SELFLOOPS Spark app for iPhone and Android, members can now join their gym and configure their own heart rate monitor in less than a minute.
The entire process takes just 4 simple steps:
Download the SELFLOOPS Spark app
Create your own account
Enter the Gym’s Join Code
Setup your heart rate monitor
That’s it.
The next time they walk into a class, their heart rate will automatically appear on the big screen.
Designed to Remove Friction
Whether you’re onboarding one new member or hundreds, the new self-service setup dramatically simplifies the process.
members can do everything directly from their own smartphone.
This means:
Faster onboarding
Less work for reception staff
Fewer setup errors
A better first experience for new members
Works with All Supported Heart Rate Monitors
The process supports 100% of the sensors in the market, making it easy for gyms to continue using their preferred hardware while eliminating manual administration.
Simple. Fast. Automatic. Exactly the way onboarding should be.
As wearable technology becomes increasingly common in the fitness industry, gyms and fitness clubs are facing an important operational question: should members be required to use a specific heart rate device, or should the platform adapt to the devices members already own?
For many facilities, flexibility and ease of onboarding are becoming key factors in member adoption and long-term engagement.
Supporting the Devices Members Already Use
SELFLOOPS Group Fitness is a group heart rate tracking service designed to support a wide range of wearable devices and heart rate technologies, allowing members to participate using equipment they are already familiar with.
The platform currently supports:
Whoop
Google Fitbit Air
Apple Watch
Wear OS
ANT+ heart rate devices, including products from brands such as Garmin, Polar, and Wahoo Fitness and many others.
This broad compatibility reduces friction during onboarding and eliminates the need for members to purchase additional hardware before participating in group fitness classes.
Reducing Operational Friction for Clubs and Franchises
For gyms operating at scale, compatibility can significantly impact both member experience and operational efficiency.
When members can connect devices they already own:
Setup time is reduced
Staff support requirements decrease
Adoption rates typically improve
Barriers to participation are minimized
This flexibility is particularly valuable for multi-location gyms and fitness franchises, where simplifying onboarding processes can have a meaningful effect across hundreds or thousands of members.
Optional Branded Heart Rate Devices
While many clubs prefer a bring-your-own-device approach, some facilities also choose to offer branded heart rate monitors as part of their ecosystem.
Providing club-branded devices can help reinforce brand identity inside the facility while giving members an additional option for participation. It also creates a more unified in-club experience for facilities that want tighter control over hardware deployment.
A Flexible Approach to Group Fitness Technology
Rather than locking facilities into a single hardware ecosystem, SELFLOOPS takes a platform-first approach focused on interoperability and scalability.
By supporting a broad range of wearables and heart rate technologies, clubs can implement group fitness tracking without disrupting the habits and device preferences of their members.
The result is a more accessible and scalable experience for both operators and participants.
Strength training is evolving. Coaches and athletes expect more than spreadsheets, screenshots, and disconnected apps. They need a platform that simplifies programming, improves athlete engagement, and keeps all performance data in one place.

From traditional strength training to HYROX, conditioning, running, cycling, and functional fitness, SELFLOOPS provides one ecosystem for every discipline.
