SHOKK's activity management system, Tactics, is designed specifically for monitoring young people's fitness and participation levels.
Suitable for use either in a gym environment or while participating in a physical activity-related project, Tactics is a web-based solution.
With this in mind, it can be used in a number of settings outside a SHOKK gym, including schools, sports partnerships, leisure centres, health clubs and weight management projects.
Children log their own data - what they've done that day or week in the way of exercise - onto the system, which recognises 147 out-of-gym activities, including walking the dog, playing football and even kabbadi, an Indian team sport. There's also an option to record daily food intake.
Data is accessible to the member and to staff on-site via touch-screen computers, using either a personal membership number or biometrics, as well as off-site via Tactics' website.
The software comes with activity programmes installed, which can be modified as a user progresses, while pre-set tests can be used to assess fitness levels. An in-built incentive points scheme also aids member motivation, while alerts notify instructors of physical and behavioural issues.
Other features include online video streaming of exercises and techniques, news for users, new research and reports for staff development, support forums and an instant messaging service where staff can chat with members.
