There are many benefits for those that belong to a health
club. Signing up for classes allows a trainer to correct your form. Standing in
front of a mirror can also help a person see what they are doing wrong. The problem is that the classes are not
always on your schedule and the trainer is not always looking at your form. Standing
in front of a mirror works if you already know what you are doing. What the
modern health club needs is way to truly customize classes.
The TeKoach, another ETI first, combines all the best
features. It is a full size LCD Display laminated in a smoky mirror. The
display shows the AI trainers motion while the mirror allows you to “motion match”
with the AI Trainer. Attached infrared projectors can capture your actions and give
feedback on the screen. A trainer would assist you in customizing the program.
The TeKoach would also provide data back to the trainer; response times, restricted
motion, and completed sessions. The
TeKoach could become another profit center inside the health club.
This is easily a $1,000,000 Idea many times over. The
technology exists and the industry is huge. With treadmill running over $5000,
the TeKoach could easily sell in that range. With over 80,000 health clubs in
the US, a 1% saturation would be $4 Million. Each year upgraded programs could
be released. (or if this is run by Microsoft, every 2 months)
This will be the next wave in fitness training. Within a few
years they will also be available in Universities, Hotels, and every millionaire
will have their own. I also think it would be a great marketing move to get a celebrity
trainer to be the image. For an upgrade
charge any character from Tomb Raider, Halo, or a Marvel Super Hero. I always
pictured me working out with Juggernaut.
Until next time - keep inventingEric the Inventor
