Precor’s Preva app has been connected to Suunto’s online sports community, Movescount, allowing users to track training both inside and outside the gym.

“We know people don’t train exclusively in the gym or outdoors, they do both,” said Jonathan Griffiths, Precor UK marketing manager. “Knowing this, we wanted to give fitness enthusiasts a way to track their indoor and outdoor training effectively and help them follow their progress. By connecting Movescount and Preva, exercisers can work towards their fitness goals regardless of where they train.”

Both Precor and Suunto are Amer Sports brands, allowing relatively straightforward data integration. At the gym, Preva automatically captures workouts on any networked Precor 880 line cardio equipment, while the Preva Mobile App can record strength and functional training.

For workouts outside of the gym, exercisers can sync to Preva via either Movescount.com or the Suunto Movescount Mobile App. Additionally, the companies said a Suunto sports watch can track outdoor sport activities and relay information including heart rate, speed, elevation and recovery rate.
