NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FlexIt, the company known for its personalized fitness offerings that recently launched its premier training platform, FlexItPRO™, is adding new features to its software via its partnership with the trusted weather resource, AccuWeather. AccuWeather and Flexit have been working together since 2019, and now take their partnership to new heights by combining AccuWeather forecasting with FlexIt's custom fitness to create the only weather-informed fitness tool on the market. By integrating AccuWeather forecasting capabilities into FlexIt, users can now take advantage of fitness curated for both their bodies and their environments.

FlexIt's Virtual Personal Training platform was designed specifically for exercise, with proprietary features that ensure clients are getting the most out of their sessions safely and effectively. These include timers, specialized camera views, music integration, health and wellness tracking, and form correction features, which allow trainers to project drawings and video demonstrations on screen to adjust technique in real-time.
“Health and well-being are a core component of our mission at AccuWeather, which is why partnering with FlexIt makes so much sense,” said AccuWeather Senior Vice President of Business Development, Paul Lentz. “Users now have Superior Accuracy built into their experience, enabling them to plan their workouts with greater confidence.”
