At last week’s Milan Design Week 2012 Technogym introduced a new line of exercise machines that might be ready for the dance club. This included the CROSS Personal Trainer, which look so pretty you might feel bad working up a sweat on it. It includes an integrated VISIOweb display so you can watch TV or surf the Internet, but it also includes a range of training programs to help you get the most out of your workout. The elliptical machine has the promise to offer a smooth and impact free workout , but it still looks like something we’d expect to see any European rave.

Fitness Goes to Orbit With Breathe
FitOrbit, the online solution that provides 24/7 accessibility to certified personal trainers, is telling members to “Breathe,” by launching its new logging and tracking experience. “Breathe” offers users the ability to select meals and workouts online, and with a click of the mouse it lets the trainer know what you’ve accomplished for the day. This online tracking also allows for a “quick add” with an intelligent algorithm that identifies what users are looking for, and even remembers preferences and favorites.
FitOrbit’s “Breathe” allows users to talk to their trainer anytime and anyway, without even having log onto the Website, as it now offers an email app that can be used with mobile phones. Sounds like a breath of fresh air! Press release after the jump
