LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND, January 28, 2021

Navori Labs works. in cooperation with integration partner Affinitech. Together they continue to enhance a diverse and extensive digital out-of-home network on behalf of Life Time Fitness. The network was recently upgraded to Navori’s latest Navori digital signage software to deliver a dynamic mix of club information, entertainment, and advertising to more than 3,000 endpoints. Navori is now live at all 150-plus club locations in the USA and Canada.

Navori offers a flexible, user-friendly Navori 2.2 software release. Thus, further simplifying the management of more than 10,000 weekly content combinations delivered across immersive video walls, interactive kiosks, tablet-controlled displays, and traditional digital signage screens. Moreover, Navori innovations such as Insane Performance Rendering (IPR) software produce exceptional 4K and HD visual quality to engage club members. QL’s open architecture helps Affinitech continually strengthen the network. Navori’s DDFS (dynamic live data scheduling) application, which dynamically retrieves information and content from existing back-end systems to help Life Time Fitness strengthen member engagement and minimize content management labor for staff.

Dave Fleming is the Director of Product Development for Affinitech. He notes that it would be virtually impossible to manage a network of this scale and diversity without Navori’s DDFS application. Not to mention Navori’s load-balancing application which ensures a robust, secure, resilient, and redundant network. “Navori eliminates the headaches of programming a network with thousands of templates, combinations, and endpoints through robust real-time member interaction and deep integration with varied information systems,” said Fleming. “We can fully automate most of the scheduling, content management, and template creation by leveraging Life Time Fitness’ existing data systems.”

Dynamic Data Feed Scheduling

Most programs and processes are automated through DDFS. There are manually-driven elements to the network that works in alignment with DDFS and are especially important for member engagement. One fitness-oriented program, powered by Navori’s LT Connect application, displays member heart rate zones and allows instructors to optimize workouts. Fitness trainers control the LT Connect application on tablets during classes. They run members through interval workouts tailored to their unique heart rate zones.

The same displays represent approximately one-third of the network’s screens. Those are integrated with DDFS to pull in class registration details and other real-time information. “This is a very important part of the network for Life Time Fitness. It often drives more than 3’500 unique class reservations each day,” said Todd Brown, President of Affinitech. Brown adds that interactive “Club Hub” kiosks in each lobby offer richer details about class schedules, trainer background information, personal training sessions, and gym availability.

LIFETIME benefits from Navori innovations

This ties back to the core operational benefit of Navori’s Navori software. All content is managed from a single CMS that is easy to learn and use. Thus, without limiting any benefits and capabilities of the broader network. That not only includes interactive and monetized elements but also larger-than-life visual elements such as video walls and floor-to-ceiling portrait displays. The latter of which engages members with presentations that highlight trainers and featured fitness classes.

“Navori Labs has been vital in allowing us to use digital signage to better interact with our members. It improves the member experience in a dynamic and creative manner. Without the complexity that often comes with an out-of-home network of this size,” said Austin Runck. He is Digital Content Platform Administrator at Life Time Fitness. “With Navori Digital Signage software, we can dynamically screen thousands of unique classes, events, and appointments each day. And deliver this content over a robust, reliable, and secure network.”
