Miles Better Fitness x ddrobotec®: Catching up after one month

We’ve teamed up with Miles Better Fitness to showcase ddrobotec^® at their innovative health and fitness centre in Well, North Yorkshire. One month in, we checked in with Miles Johnson, owner of Miles Better Fitness, to see how they were getting on.

Don’t forget to get involved with the Miles Better Fitness SkiEasy April challenge!

One month in, how have you been getting on with ddrobotec®?

One month in and everyone still absolutely loves using the ddrobotec^®. Whether they are athletes, young budding sportsmen or older members of the general public the machine has benefits for all.

How does ddrobotec® fit into an average session at Miles Better Fitness?

During PT sessions we tend to use the machine towards the end of the session as something to look forward to. We use the ddrobotec^®’s analytic tools to determine the clients weaknesses and then program the workouts accordingly. The client will then often finish the session on the exergames to further develop strength, co-ordination etc and of course to have some fun.

What sort of clients have been using ddrobotec®?

We have had every type of client on the ddrobotec^® and I would say every client has gotten something useful out of it. They all love the feedback it gives you and the recommendations of the workouts and drills they can do to help improve their weaknesses. They all then love seeing the improvements when they redo their fitness testing or beating previous best scores on exergames.

What features are your clients finding most useful?

Definitely the analytical feedback and then the ddrobotec® giving the recommended workouts and drills telling them exactly what they need to do to improve. All this is then at the touch of a button, they don’t need to set up weights machines or program exercises – it’s all there on the ddrobotec^®.

As a trainer, which features do you think are the most useful?

As a trainer probably the fitness testing, it’s so easy and concise to do and gives you so much data and feedback. This then all helps with goal setting, programming sessions and client motivation.

How have you been using the ddrobotec® data insights?

We use the data insights to identify areas weaknesses from which we can come up with goals and then use the ddrobotec^®’s recommended drills and workouts to improve these weaknesses.

What is your favourite exergame and why?

We did a poll to choose a game for our April competition and everyone hands down voted for SkiEasy. Everyone seems to get very competitive on the skiing I think that might be because they think they are potentially playing against Olympic skiers. Personally I like the dodge ball, it really works your reaction time and speed too.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Everyone here thinks the ddrobotec^® is out of this world and definitely the future.
