This Wednesday the 15th of May at 2pm we have a special seminar from Norman Carlson, who is a senior trainer at City Fitness, and has been working with Larry Podmore over the last year.
Norman has developed a closed loop training and diet system with feedback loops built in for individuals.
He is interested in gaining insights from the HITLabNZ team on the concept, which we have shown in prototype to Tom Furness.
The seminar will show work on the programme to date and gain feedback on the potential for research and deployment of such a system.
See you all there.
