What is FitLinxx? Let`s Begin!

FitLinxx?
FitLinxx is a computer program that coaches users
through their workout for better safety and form
during every exercise. The computer tracks your
progress over time.
The benefits of the FitLinxx system don’t end once you
leave the Monon Community Center. In fact, cardio
that you don’t do at the gym may be added (mowing
the grass, shoveling snow, walking outside). You
are able to create a personalized workout and see a
calculation of calories burned, as well as even more
features. Work with one of our FitLinxx Attendants to
learn all the ways you can use the system to help keep
you on track and stay encouraged.
Let’s Begin!
1. For each workout, begin your exercise session at
the FitLinxx kiosk by entering your 5-digit ID Code.
2. Select “Express Start” to begin your exercise
session.
3. At each strength machine, enter your 5-digit ID
code to display your settings.
4. Use yellow push knobs to adjust seat and
handles. Be sure to set appropriate weight.
5. As you exercise, FitLinxx will record your
repetitions and sets for each machine completed.
When you schedule your appointment, you will meet
individually with one of our knowledgeable instructors
who will guide you through the whole workout session
and teach you how to get started. Your session will last
approximately one hour.
6. At the end of your workout, return to the kiosk
to enter your cardiovascular exercise under the
heading “Manually Log CV Workout.” You may
select any of our cardio equipment, exercise
classes or many other cardiovascular activities.
Stop by the FitLinxx desk at the MCC Fitness Center to
make your appointment. There you will find a binder
where you can choose the date and time for your
FitLinxx appointment. Just pencil in your name and
you’re ready to go!
7. Select “Finish Workout” to store all of your
workout information.

and progressing toward your goals.
