NordicTrack Launches Voice-Controlled Dumbbells

NordicTrack from iFIT, today introduced the NordicTrack iSelect Adjustable Dumbbells, a set of voice-controlled dumbbells that work with Amazon Alexa.

The NordicTrack iSelect Adjustable Dumbbells are electronically adjusted from 5 to 50 pounds in seconds with simple voice commands to compatible Alexa-enabled devices.

"We are thrilled to offer the first ever voice-controlled dumbbells that work with Alexa," said Mark Watterson, chief experience officer of iFIT, in a statement. "Our patent-pending electronic adjustment eliminates the pain points of cumbersome mid-workout weight change found on other adjustable dumbbells, like decreased heart rate and reduced time under tension, creating a truly uninterrupted and transformative experience."

Alexa supports the following three skills for the NordicTrack iSelect dumbbells:

• Setting weight to a specific amount: e.g "Alexa, set weights to 35 pounds."
• Increasing or decreasing weight: e.g. "Alexa, decrease weight by 10 pounds."
• Setting weight presets for specific exercises: "Alexa, set weight for biceps curls."
