Looking for a good personal trainer can be tough. Without even getting into costs, scheduling can be a bit of a nightmare. This is where Helthee comes into play.

To put it simply, Helthee is like the Uber of exercising. The app is there to give you an on-demand personal trainer when it is most convenient for you. Simply make a request to meet at your house, office, hotel, gym, or park and one of their certified trainers will meet you there in an hour. You can even book a session a month away if you prefer to plan your calendar further in advance.

Starting Monday, Helthee will go into beta in Miami and anyone in the area can download it from the App Store. Both single and pair sessions will be available for durations of 45, 60, or 75 minutes. Find a trainer you like? A re-book option is there to allow users to book another session with the same trainer. Still looking for the right trainer? With over 250 applications from certified personal trainers in just a few weeks, there won’t be any shortages. Each one of these candidates then goes through a thorough vetting process and background check.

“We feel that we are filling a void in the health & fitness market for people who want easier accessibility to quality fitness professionals in their area and at their own convenience,” says co-founder and CEO Brett Heimann. “Time has become a scarcity for people.”

If you live outside the Miami region, don’t fret. Miami will act as the testing ground and with success, the company plans to add other major cities to its platform. On-demand personal trainers are an untapped market, so it shouldn’t be long before it takes off. Check out the website and sign up to receive $10 off your first appointment.

You can finally take ECGs and track AFib on a Garmin smartwatch
Garmin Venu 2 Plus smartwatch with new ECG App

Garmin has announced a new ECG app for AFibVenu 2 Plus smartwatch users. This app is cleared by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and allows anyone with the Venu 2 Plus to record their heart rhythm and check for possible signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) — making it the first Garmin wearable capable of ECG and AFib tracking. With the ECG app, users can record a 30-second ECG and then view the results immediately on the watch itself or save it for later in the Garmin Connect app.

“The ECG App is Garmin’s first FDA-cleared smartwatch feature, and we are thrilled to offer this revolutionary tool to our customers as another way to stay on top of their health,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “During the early stages of AFib, it’s common for symptoms to be infrequent, making it difficult to detect in a clinical setting. With the new ECG App, Venu 2 Plus customers can conveniently take an ECG recording anytime and optionally create a report of their results to share with their doctor later.”
