We were pretty riveted by some of the awesome RFID-based applicatinos that are being translated to the gym.

According to a story published in the Dallas Morning News, RFID now can helps those wanting to get in shape see muscle groups targeted, reps completed and calories burned (all this data are stored on the RFID chip and displayed on the monitor!).

So which big gyms are using this stuff?

Gary Heavin, founder of Waco-based Curves International Inc., was quoted in the Dallas Morning News as stating that about 1,000 of the 10,000 Curves locations worldwide now have the RFID-equipped CurvesSmart machines, with more coming online. [end]
