Bend Park and Recreation District now has a fitness app for use by our patrons! This app was developed with Precor and E-Gym to provide you with a tool to track your workouts, provide connectivity for our cardio equipment and more. Additionally we have invested in technology by Advagym at both Larkspur Community Center and Juniper Swim & Fitness Center. The puck sensors in the facility and on selectorized fitness equipment will enhance the patron experience. See below for more information:
Workouts: You can easily keep track your workouts. Simply log in when using the cardio equipment and the information will automatically go to the app. You can create custom workout and easily set up a series of exercises so you have a plan before coming in. You can save your workout templates and log classes so you can keep track of your progress toward your goals. Using ADVAGYM in conjunction with the app will “coach” you through your exercises and track all your workout information.
Goal Center : Set your personal goals and make sure you’re on track to reaching them. You can choose your workout goal based on number of workouts, calories burned, time or distance.
Challenges: The competition is on with our new Challenges feature! You can take on friends or compete with other members across the BPRD Fitness Facilities. New challenges will be popping up, so you never know what might come up next!
Connected Apps: You can connect your favorite fitness apps like Garmin, RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal, Fitbit and Apple Health directly to your BPRD Fitness App so you can easily keep track of workouts without having to enter them in separate locations. It also syncs with your Apple Watch so any workouts you log on your watch will automatically be added to the app. It’s your fitness life, all in one place. (See below for more information.)
Puck Sensors
: Simply tap your phone on a puck in any of our facilities and you’ll be prompted through your workout. Each puck provides a variety of options such as instructions on the use of the equipment, sample workouts, class schedules and information.
Workouts
You can use the workouts we provide or create your own. Each workout is tracked with the specific exercise and stored in history so you can use it again and again. Your workout will track repetitions, calories burned, time or distance.
Personal Settings, Stats & History : Your settings are stored in the app – seat & bar positions, amount of weight and other pertinent information is tracked for your reference.
Programs, Videos and Information: When you aren’t in our facility you can use the app to work out on your own. There are tons of videos and exercises you can choose from. You can also check schedules for classes, read our instructor bios and learn about our equipment. In the event of a facility closure or emergency we can even use the app to inform you!
Bend Park & Recreation District provides you this free app to track all your fitness data. It allows you to store all your workouts in one place and also gives you the ability to create Goals and participate in Challenges. It also connects with ADVAGYM our new fitness technology.
This is a cloud service that stores your data. It works with the BPRD Fitness App to track your workouts, goals and challenges. It also collects information from other fitness trackers so all your workouts are stored in the BPRD Fitness App.
This technology facilitates tracking your workout data by using puck sensors located on the fitness equipment at Larkspur Community Center and Juniper Swim & Fitness Center. After installing the Advagym App (from within the BPRD Fitness App) you can tap the puck with your smartphone and the app will coach you through the exercise and record your workout.
The BPRD Fitness App is used to collect ALL your fitness data. It aggregates workouts from many sources for you to record and reach your fitness goals. ADVAGYM utilizes puck technology to help you work out and collect your data.
No, the BPRD Fitness Mobile App, EGYM and ADVAGYM are value added, member benefits from Bend Park & Recreation District. There is no cost to download or use the app.

There are several ways to record your workouts:
ADVAGYM:
When you tap the puck at Larkspur Community Center or Juniper Swim & Fitness Center the Exercise, Class or Program you complete will be recorded in the Advagym App and passed to the BPRD Fitness App.
Precor Connected Cardio Equipment:
When you sign in to the Precor machines (either using Bluetooth or your Log In and Password) the workout will automatically be recorded in the BPRD Fitness App.
Connected Fitness Apps:
These will update daily to the BPRD Fitness App. Please note – if you are using a connected fitness tracker, then you will not want to record your workouts manually. This will cause the app to duplicate workouts.
Record Manually:
In the BPRD Fitness App, tap the “Workouts” tile, then tap the “+” button in the upper right, set the workout date and time, select the exercises you want to record by hitting the “+” signs, click “Start”, enter the workout information in the space provided (reps, distance, time, etc.), tap “Complete Workout”, review details and then tap “Save Workout”.
Pucks are located at the entrance to the room. Make sure your Advagym app is open. Prior to the start of the class, tap the puck and pick your class. Tap start workout. Enter the room when class starts and participate in the class. At the completion of the class tap “complete workout”. Your workout will be recorded!
The best way to track walking or running is with an app that tracks your steps or strides. For example Apple Health track steps on a daily basis. Use the Connected Apps tile to link this with your BPRD Fitness app. The BPRD Fitness app will aggregate all your workout data.
You can scan the QR code on any of the Fitness Equipment to view videos on how to use it.
Make sure the Advagym App is open. Then, simply hold your smartphone, screen facing you, in front of the puck. You will hear a buzz and the puck’s information will appear.
This information is coming soon.
To make changes or corrections in ADVAGYM simply delete (slide left) an incorrect workout then re-enter the workout manually.
To learn more or join a challenge go to the “Challenges” tile in the app. Select the challenge you’re interested in and click the “Join” button to participate.
