The ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor by ActiGraph helps you lose weight by tracking your activity and providing you the information you need to make progress towards your health and fitness goals.
At A Glance
- Combines heart rate monitoring with activity monitoring
- Includes holster with belt clip, chest strap, armband and client software
- Software tracks data for up to five users
The ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor measures and displays calories burned, heart rate, pace, distance and number of steps. It is designed to be worn on the wrist, hip, arm or waist. It comes with a belt clip and holster, a Polar chest strap, an armband, and a CD with the Virtual Trainer Console software used for managing the data from the sensor.
The ActiTrainer combines two capabilities. First, the activity monitor and second, the Polar heart-rate monitoring sensor. Combining the two technologies allows you to monitor all daily activity levels, including; caloric burn, steps taken, heart rate, distance traveled, pace, sleep quality, and more. The information is viewable via the LED display that shows information in real-time as well as historical views. The system uses a normal USB cable for transferring data to your computer.
The ActiTrainer utilizes a three dimensional accelerometer to measure and record the data it uses. On its own, the ActiTrainer monitor is useful for you if you desire to use raw data to manage a weight loss program. Combine the monitor with the Virtual Trainer Console to add structure and ease of use features for tracking progress against goals. It should be noted that the ActiTrainer and its software are not currently compatible with MAC computers.
Customer Review:
And here's what some of the customers who bought the ActiTrainer have to say about it:
...I've been using my Actitrainer for over a week and have gone back and forth on whether I'm satisfied or not. First, the pro's: Pedometer seems to be accurate; heart rate monitor appears accurate and works well; product is small and can be conveniently worn without being noticeable; fairly easy to operate. Cons: The calculations are not based on heart rate. This was a real disappointment to me...
...Software for Actitrainer Client comes with the product for free, but doesn't allow you to display your data. The only way to actually display and track your data is use the Virtual Trainer product which requires a monthly subscription fee...
...I purchased an ActiTrainer device to get better control on my calories out. It sounds like it should do a very credible job..Unfortunately the current version has significant flaws including: The heart rate monitor collects heart rate but doesn't appear to use it in the calorie calculations. The accelerometer doesn't seem to capture the motion of weight lifting or cycling... So, if you are walking or running you can probably get a credible estimate of calories. But don't count on it for anything else...
...I've had this for about a month. I'm on day 5 and already I can see benefits. It monitors everything: My favorite feature is it tells me if I'm in a calorie deficit or not. I've had many pedometers and a couple heart rate monitors, but this is far more than that. It takes a little effort (ie entering foods consumed), but if you're committed you can achieved results...
