Pre-Launch Orders Now Being Taken for Spree Fitness Device

Pre-Launch Orders Now Being Taken for Spree Fitness Device Dallas, TX, May 24, 2013 –(PR.com)– Serious athletes interested in the next must-have workout companion may now reserve one of the first Spree fitness monitors before they are available in stores.

The most comprehensive fitness monitor on the market, and the first to track body temperature, movement and heart rate without using a chest strap, Spree may now be reserved online at www.SpreeSports.com.

Spree debuted to rave reviews at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas January 8-11, 2013. A month later, the cutting-edge device was named runner-up in the global M2M Challenge Innovation competition at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona. Spree was a finalist in the Consumer Electronics category, which recognized novel applications “demonstrating the huge innovation potential in the world of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.”

“The fitness industry and global technology leaders alike have recognized the game-changing potential of Spree, which has compelled us to accelerate and ramp up production to meet expected demand,” said Peter Linke, President of Dallas-based Hothead Technologies, Inc., which developed the proprietary technology in Spree. “It now seems clear that Spree is set to become the next big thing in fitness.”

The smart device stands apart from other fitness monitors, such as those worn around the chest or arms, by analyzing the three most important variables in every fitness routine – body temperature, movement and heart rate. The sleek and comfortable headband unit captures all the real-time data needed to optimize every workout and achieve ultimate performance, then streams the information to an easy-to-use smartphone app that charts exertion and provides visual indicators when each activity’s goal is reached.

For “healthletes” concerned about the effectiveness of their heart rate monitor or irritated by chest straps, Spree offers a welcome alternative.

Research shows that because of blood flow, the forehead is the best place on the body to measure body temperature, especially in conjunction with heart rate and movement tracking. Spree’s advanced Performance Optimization Device, or POD, fits securely and comfortably in a headband, addressing the common complaint about uncomfortable chest straps, especially for women. Studies also show that arm and wristband trackers tend to provide the least reliable data.

“Traditional bracelets, armbands and chest straps are fine for tracking heart rates and other basic information, but they ignore the critical element of body temperature,” explained Linke. “Knowing the temperature at which your body reaches peak performance is a huge advantage, and Spree is the only device that does it.”

The POD also alerts you when you are sufficiently warmed up prior to working out, and serves as an important line of defense against over-heating and heat stroke.

Spree measures body temperature, distance traveled, speed, time, heart rate and calories burned, and combines these data points into simple graphs that indicate when your body is hitting its optimal zone. Armed with this information, you learn where your body is burning the most calories, when it is building the most muscle mass and at what pace you are achieving maximum endurance.
