iSPINNING is an iPhone-based Spinning computer and cardio fitness systemthat is compatible with leading fitness heart rate transmitters and a growinglist of other fitness sensors. In addition to heart-related data, iSPINNINGreceives speed, cadence, and power data from cycling sensors so users cantrack cycling metrics from their road and mountain bikes too.

"For years the fitness industry has struggled with the complexities oftracking and displaying fitness data in ways that are appealing to the enduser. iTMP has raised the bar with their suite of iPhone apps that collectdata from body and equipment sensors to track and present it in a simple andusable format," said John Baudhuin, CEO of Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc., creatorsof the Spinning indoor cycling program.

"While there are a handful of fitness apps for the iPhone, until now noneof them have incorporated real-time user data in their calculations. With ourwireless virtual bridge, SMHEART LINK(TM), we connect distributed health andfitness sensors to Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. In other words, we enableApple's incredible mobile computers to double as heart monitors and cyclingcomputers," said Michael Williams, founder and CEO of iTMP.

The iSPINNING application will run with simulated data so users can seehow the application will monitor and manage cardio fitness metrics. Additionalhardware, including iTMP's SMHEART LINK, will be required to allow the app to"listen" to your heart and your Spinner(R) bikes or outdoor bikes. SMHEARTLINK stores an entire workout's worth of data, compiling information evenwhile the iPhone app is interrupted by a call or if the iPhone is not present.The result is an uninterrupted workout profile that can be reviewed real-timeduring or after a workout.

iTMP's SMHEART LINK has a suggested retail price of $149.95 and will beavailable for the holiday and resolution seasons online athttp://www.smHEARTLINK.com, where users can also find additional productinformation, accessories and receive updates.
