Skip Smarter

With Apple Watch building its focus on fitness, it’s kinda given that regular fitness gears should adapt to the Smartness revolution. Keeping in pace is the ‘Smart Rope’, which is a LED-embedded jump rope. It syncs with your smartphone, creating an “anywhere, anytime” fitness experience.

Features:

  • There are 23 high-quality LEDs into a proprietary, patent-pending FPCB (flexible printed circuit board) design.
  • These LEDs can display up to four digits with clear visibility even in bright rooms.
  • In the future like icons and emojis will also be displayed.
  • As you jump, the LEDs display your progress right before your eyes.
  • They’ll also illuminate as you power on and off the Smart Rope, and provide information about battery life.
  • Aside from all the digital technology involved, the designers have elevated the physical design of the jump rope in a many ways.
  • The rope is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the handle to encourage effortless, natural motion.
  • Ball bearings are used to ensure fast, smooth revolutions.
  • All materials are of premium quality and finish.
  • The Smart Gym app works seam­lessly with Smart Rope with two-way com­mu­ni­ca­tion.
  • Jumps counted and work­out times are broad­cast to the app for track­ing and mon­i­tor­ing, while BMI data and work­out goals en­tered into the app are broad­cast to Smart Rope to craft your cus­tom work­out.
  • Smart Gym works with mul­ti­ple Smart Rope de­vices, al­though Blue­tooth won’t al­low si­mul­ta­ne­ous pair­ing of mul­ti­ple de­vices. This means your fam­ily (or your Cross­Fit team) can use dif­fer­ent Smart Rope de­vices with a sin­gle Smart­phone.
