The SMARTfit Trainer is a multi-station system that offers high intensity cognitive training and fitness training for large groups. It is designed for competitive interactive team play, allowing players to improve their speed and agility while playing fun games with their friends. The trainer challenges players' skills with a range of cognitive games that are played while running, balancing, stabilizing and playing ball. To advance in the games, players must strategize, make fast decisions and simultaneously manage their footwork, balance and ball control.

The SMARTfit Trainer consists of two to six stations, each equipped with nine multicoloured targets and a scoreboard. Each station accommodates relay races for up to 10 players. The system requires supervision of one instructor and comes with a high fidelity sound system, which makes it an excellent solution for large rooms.

SMARTfit technology offers inclusive play, encouraging children who would not ordinarily have the confidence to participate in sports, to join in the games. This was just one of the many reasons why the Boys & Girls Club of Eden selected the trainer for their facility after raising the money through a grant. Along with a variety of benefits, the SMARTfit Trainer has a wide range of applications, including cardio training, functional training, fitness classes, rehabilitation and medical fitness, and high intensity cognitive training for PE and Adapted PE.

Similarly, the Exercise Program/Triple Play, offers education in nutrition and healthy eating habits along with organized sports for all ages. The SMARTfit Trainer, which is used in the Triple Play program, helps children improve their cardiovascular fitness, cognitive skills, and teamwork and cooperation skills. The trainer is also used in short pre-homework sessions to allow children to settle down before they do their homework. It is a perfect fit for facilities offering fitness programs for large groups as it allows instructors to manage 50 to 60 players at a time.
