Consumer fitness technology products are becoming increasingly
popular. This leads to interesting questions about the influence of activity
trackers on a person’s motivation to exercise. This study explored the role
of activity trackers in motivating fitness centre members towards
exercising and in increasing their awareness regarding their own health and
physical activity. The study included 100 fitness centre members divided
into a test group and a control group and three sub-groups: OLD, NEW,
and personal trainer (PT) members. The focus was on gym visit frequency
during a 10-week test period and on tracking the consistency of activity
levels. Participants also completed a pre and post study questionnaire
assessing changes in their health and physical activity awareness. The
results suggest that an activity tracker does not significantly influence
fitness centre members’ gym attendance or overall physical activity levels.
Group comparisons reveal no statistically significant differences between
groups, but observations of the descriptive statistics indicated that an
activity tracker can bring some inspiration and other benefits, especially for
PT clients and people who are just starting their new more physically active
lifestyle. Using an activity tracker increased participants’ perceived
awareness of their own wellbeing, daily sitting time, and amount of sleep.
