SCHILLER PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Life Fitness, global leader in commercial fitness equipment manufacturing, today released its 2012 Fitness and Technology Survey, which found nearly three-quarters of regular exercisers use some type of technology device during their workouts. More than half of respondents consider themselves more successful at achieving their weight and fitness goals because of technology. The new survey evaluated the habits of exercisers from seven countries who own smartphones or tablets and exercise at least twice a week.

Technology is integrated into so many aspects of our lives today, but this report is the first time weve been able to show just how plugged in exercisers are today and what access theyd like to have tomorrow, said Chris Clawson, president, Life Fitness. This is vital intelligence for fitness facilities around the world to help them understand what tech tools motivate their members to continue exercising, as well as retain their memberships.

A sampling of results is listed below. To view the full report and methodology, visit http://www.LifeFitness.com/Survey.
