BSDI Fitness Software

Return to Product Reviews

BSDI offers a wealth of valuable fitness software. There is so much to cover that we will only touch upon some of the features offered in three software packages. We recommend you visit BSDI's site and request an information package and demo disk, at http://BSDI.cc for further details.

Fitness Analyst is their most popular program and well worth the investment. It offers medical screening and a comprehensive fitness assessment with over 120 tests, such as skinfold pinch bodyfat, cycle ergometry, treadmill tests, pulmonary tests, and a wide variety of strength and endurance tests. Best of all, the software allows you to devise and record your own custom tests. Another feature is the exercise programming with Intelli-Max workout template technology that allows you to create custom workouts in seconds while supporting complex set patterns, specification of lift tempos and inter-set rest. Periodized templates also can be devised. Further, you can take digital photos of the exercise equipment to be used and integrated into the workout sheets for printing. Also available: goals counseling, reporting and charting, weight and energy consumption tracking, blood pressure logging, blood chemistry, before/after photography, and unlimited user-defined fields that permit you to collect data your way.

Motivation is a software program that allows clients or gym participants to log on at your facility or even at home (via the internet) to input workouts, weight and blood pressure, complete health risk assessment questionnaires, and participate in an incentive (point earning) program, or simply to learn more about health and fitness. In effect, Motivation is a complete system for communicating with and managing wellness for your clients.

Check-In supports client log-in with support for scancards (BSDI offers laser scanners), waiting messages, picture ID, and a "membership expired" notice with optional alarm. This program also features a broad range of attendance management reports on gross attendance, attendance by group, attendance by new vs. established members and more. You can even track the popularity of equipment, classes, special events, and clients can choose what classes to attend upon checking in! Most important you can track who is not attending to discover who may quit your services in the near future, and even check-in on a client's personal goals, exercise interests, and emergency care contact information.
