PERSONAL TRAINER STUDIO
TM
The unique Personal Trainer Studio
TM
was developed by Star Trac in conjunction with focus groups of the personal training indus-
try. The Personal Trainers told Star Trac that they needed three things: customization of their clients workouts, accountability -
meaning having their clients actually perform the amount and intensity of cardio exercise that is prescribed, and feedback to the
user so that they can accurately assess their cardio progress. We give you the system to meet all of these needs, with the Personal
Trainer Studio
TM
. This chapter provides the procedures to manage Personal Trainer PIN codes, and to add, edit and delete pro-
grams. For the procedures to run Personal Trainer programs, refer to Chapter 3, Pro Operation.
NOTE: The Personal Trainer Studio
TM
is available on the PRO TREADMILL only.
USING PERSONAL TRAINER
STUDIO
TM
After you have been assigned a PIN number by the Club
Coordinator or manager, you may now enter the Personal
Trainer Studio
TM
. Personal Trainer Studio
TM
is simple to under-
stand and simple to use. The following chart defines the basic
functionality of this feature.
Custom programs: Each trainer is assigned a PIN code by the
club or fitness director. Each PIN code allows storage of 5 custom
programs with up to 20 intervals each. Your personal profiles can
be further customized to suit specific client needs by entering a
maximum speed at run time. The level control scales the eleva-
tion of the profile while the Max Speed entry ensures that your
client will not exceed their abilities.
