Progio Training Companion The New Fitness Device To Store Your Workout Data

A resurgence in the health craze in the past few years has given way to a plethora of new fitness devices. One of the latest of those is the Progio Training Companion, a handheld workout-in-a-box that has tons of great information and information-storing capabilities. It syncs up with your PC so you can store your workout data and download new workouts from the Net.

It's a heart rate monitor, of course, in addition to being a workout tracker for both cardio and strength sessions. It times your workouts, including intervals. It tracks your repetitions, for weights work. It tracks your workouts by the hour, day, week, and month.


The best part about the Progio Training Companion, though, is that it shows you images. You can view photos or videos that demonstrate what you're supposed to be doing.

That's a lot of sports-specific functionality in a watch-like device, the equivalent of what a good athletic coach would give you over the course of a few months. That comparison sort of justifies the cost, which is a hefty US$399 for the non-heart rate monitor model. For the one with a highly accessible heart rate monitor, expect to add $100 to the price.
