SIGNING UP EXERCISERS
The instructor and exercisers must be signed up for the session when they arrive to the club. The exerciser
information is collected and the connectors are given to the exercisers during sign-up. Signing up is usually
done at the reception of your club.
In addition to the connector number, the following exerciser information is mandatory for sign-up: nickname,
year of birth and maximum heart rate. Additionally, the following exerciser information can be collected during
sign-up: sex, weight, height and email address. The nickname is shown on the screen during the session. The
email address is needed if the exerciser wishes to receive a training report after training session.
The maximum heart rate is calculated based on age (220 - age = maximum heart rate) but it can be edited if a
measured maximum heart rate for the exerciser is known. The calorie calculation is more accurate when the
maximum heart rate is set correctly. Height, weight and sex also affect the calorie calculation.
The instructor and exercisers are signed up in the same way. The instructor must be signed up before starting
the session but exercisers can be signed up even after the session has already started.
1. Open the reception tool. Go to Training Calendar .
2. Create a new training session or open an existing training session by double-clicking it in the calendar.
3. Pick up a connector.
4. Fill in the connector number into the first field.
5. Type the exerciser's nickname. If the software detects there are exercisers with similar nicknames
stored in the system, the software suggests them. Select a suggested exerciser or create a new one
by typing a unique nickname. When selecting an existing exerciser, the exerciser information is set
automatically. The exerciser information can be edited by using the edit button at the end of the row.
All exercisers in the Cardio GX system and in a session must have unique nicknames and email
addresses.
