Equipment intelligence for gym operators
Technogym, Life Fitness, EGYM, Concept2, Wahoo — each has its own monitoring silo. None of them see the full floor. Wattson aggregates them all into one view and fills the gaps they leave behind.
A good detective never relies on a single source. Let Wattson investigate for you.
Each platform is excellent — at monitoring its own equipment. But real gym floors have three, four, five brands side by side. Here's what each system actually sees:
Wattson connects to equipment platforms via their APIs where available, and fills every remaining gap with smart plug power monitoring. The result: complete floor visibility.
These capabilities are validated across every competitor in the market. No other platform offers them.
Every competitor tracks "duration of use." Wattson tracks actual watts consumed — per machine, per hour, per month. See energy costs, detect phantom power draw on "off" machines, and spot mechanical anomalies before they become failures.
Existing platforms use CSAFE ports or Bluetooth — both cardio-only technologies. Cable machines, squat racks, smith machines, and plate-loaded equipment are invisible to them. Wattson monitors anything that draws power.
Other "cross-brand" solutions need signed partnerships with each manufacturer. Wattson needs a power outlet. When you buy equipment from a brand nobody integrates with, Wattson still works — 30 seconds from box to dashboard.
Not a competition — a collaboration. Wattson works with these platforms, not against them. But here's what each approach covers on its own:

Wattson integrates with Technogym, Life Fitness, EGYM, Concept2, and Wahoo APIs to pull their data into the unified dashboard — so you keep everything they offer, plus gain complete floor coverage.
A good detective never relies on a single witness. Wattson cross-references every source on your floor — APIs, smart plugs, power data — to build the complete picture no single system can.
We pull data from Technogym Mywellness, Life Fitness Halo, EGYM Cloud, Concept2, and Wahoo automatically. Their workout data, usage stats, and maintenance alerts flow into your Wattson dashboard.
For every machine those APIs can't see — Matrix, Precor, Freemotion, strength equipment, legacy gear — a smart plug between the wall and machine captures power data in real-time.
One dashboard, one truth. Compare utilization across every brand. Spot idle equipment. Optimize maintenance schedules. Track energy costs. Across every location.
