A New Enhancement to Our MindBody Integration

At SELFLOOPS, our mission is to simplify the way gyms and clubs connect technology with their daily operations. That’s why we continue to expand and enhance our integrations with leading gym management software systems.

Currently, SELFLOOPS provides automatic synchronization for several platforms, including MindBody, ABC Fitness, ABC Evo, Angular, and Mis Actividades. These integrations save time for gyms by syncing users, classes, and signups across systems, eliminating the need for double data entry and ensuring a smooth experience for both staff and members.

The Next Step for MindBody: Spark Inside the Branded App

We’re excited to announce a new feature that takes our MindBody integration to the next level. For gyms using the branded MindBody smartphone app, it is now possible to add a direct link to the SELFLOOPS Spark app.

With just one tap on the icon inside the MindBody app, members can instantly open Spark—bringing class performance tracking, real-time engagement, and data-driven motivation right into the MindBody experience.

And if the SELFLOOPS Spark app isn’t already installed, the user will be prompted to download it directly from the App Store or Google Play Store, ensuring a smooth and guided experience from start to finish.

Why It Matters

  • Streamlined Experience: Members don’t need to juggle multiple apps—everything is accessible from the gym’s MindBody app.
  • Faster Engagement: Spark opens directly, making it easier for members to track their workouts and results.
  • Brand Consistency: Gyms maintain their branded MindBody app while seamlessly integrating SELFLOOPS technology.
  • Effortless Onboarding: Even first-time users are guided to install Spark, so no one is left behind.

Available Now, More to Come

This new feature is available today for MindBody customers. And this is just the beginning—our roadmap includes extending this functionality to other software systems supported by SELFLOOPS.

At SELFLOOPS, we’re committed to building tools that empower gyms and their members worldwide. This latest step with MindBody is another way we’re making fitness smarter, simpler, and more connected.

Elevate your brand and create a personalised experience for your clients

In the past several years we have built an advanced platform that is able to track and analyse a lot of data at scale. Users of the Selfloops platform are athletes; coaches that need to track and analyse their athletes’ sports performance; and gyms that use the group fitness service for cardio, HIIT, cycling, rowing and many other types of sports and workouts.

We have now decided to bring the power of our platform to approved partners and customers. The way we are offering this service is through the use of a set of APIs (Application Programming Interface). The APIs allow an application or a service to interact with the Selfloops platform and can be used to create branded and personalised experiences.

With the new APIs, a gym can automatically synchronise its clients to Selfloops, directly or through a gym management software. A business can synchronise information with the Selfloops platform and integrate data into its branded website or smartphone apps. Examples of data that can be integrated are class schedules and clients sign-ups, historical workouts analysis and leaderboards. 

The new API allows businesses to elevate their brand and provide a personalised experience to their customers.

Spark – the most advanced Apple Watch app

The most advanced Apple Watch app, Selfloops Spark

Spark is the only application for Apple Watch that supports the Group Fitness heart rate tracking service with users having to wear just the Apple Watch to join a class (no need for additional accessories or heart rate monitors.)

The Selfloops Spark Apple Watch app can connect to rowers, treadmills and bikes using the FTMS Bluetooth protocol. It is the only app that can do this tracking.

You can also stream your heart rate data over the Internet with our Selfloops Streams service for live classes using your Apple Watch.

Concept2 and Selfloops

From the Concept2 blog, we repost the same content here.

There are many ways that technology can add variety to your routine. In addition to our free app, ErgData, there are a number of apps that connect with the Performance Monitor 5 (PM5) via Bluetooth and ANT+. (If you have a PM2, PM3 or PM4, there still are a few options to consider which may require a cable or other additional device. The PM5 can also be retrofitted to all models.)

While these apps are not developed, serviced or supported by Concept2, we’re excited to share these details because we know that the features and functions interest athletes of all abilities. We will continue to share our favorites via social media, so follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.

Selfloops is an innovative company at the intersection of sports performance and fitness. Selfloops offers an advanced platform for coaches, gyms and athletes to track and analyze sports performance, both indoors and outdoors.

Selfloops Group Fitness Premium (for Group Training)

The Selfloops Group Fitness Premium application supports the ANT+ standard and it can track multiple heart rate monitors, and real-time workout data coming from multiple PM5s on the Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg. It’s widely used in rowing clubs, CrossFit boxes and gyms in 46 countries. With the Group Fitness service, coaches can monitor their class(es) and train people according to their fitness intensity zones. The integration of real-time data and post-workout advanced analytics is what makes Selfloops unique.

Track multiple Concept2 RowErgs, SkiErgs and BikeErgs wirelessly and in real time. Color-coded “tiles” represent data from the PM5.

What people really like is that all the metrics can be tracked and shown on a large screen. This keeps motivation high and helps users reach their fitness goals. During a training session, a coach can easily check the screen and see who might need to push harder and who might need to slow down. Data “tiles” represent PM5 data—one for each user/PM5—and can be color-coded based on heart rate zones, power zones, cadence/stride zones or according to a target metric such as distance and Calories.

Selfloops is continuously innovating and pushing what is possible using the latest technologies. The latest innovation is Selfloops Streams that provides live streaming of video and data. With this new service, gyms can train their clients, track their performance from a distance, keeping them engaged and motivated.

Selfloops Spark (for Individuals)

The Selfloops Spark app is the only Apple Watch application that allows you to track your workouts with Concept2 RowErgs, SkiErgs and BikeErgs. The optical heart rate sensor of the Apple Watch is used to track your heart rate. You can also see different metrics on your Apple Watch like power, strokes per minute and more. After the workout, the data is synced automatically to the Apple HealthKit and the Selfloops website. It is also possible to automatically synchronize your workouts with the Concept2 Online Logbook.

The Selfloops motto is, “you can only improve what you measure” and the company is committed to providing the tools to coaches, gyms and athletes to track and analyze their sport performances.
