"This is a project created to get your parents off the couch, and not only..."
65% of people stop doing sports at the age of 40. Noticing a decline in physical fitness in the following years. Therefore also having significant psychological consequences.
The main idea of this project is to offer a fitness experience focused on user stimulation. Creating an emotionally entertaining involvement and an increasingly significant physical and psychological improvement.
This is possible with Tondo.
Tondo is a device with an original and fun shape. It will be your companion training and will help you perform the right movement during your exercises.
Gamification. The purpose of this device is to bring fun to the user. So that he can rediscover the positive sensations he felt when training as a young.
Tondo. is emotional and colorful.
Through a friendly language it inspires the user's playfulness. The energetic colors and shapedynamics stimulate the user to train.
For the creation of this wonderful device, We carried out an initial brainstorming to analyze what the training needs of a target who is over 40 years of age. This analysis led us to understand which are the main exercises that a person who is no longer fit can perform without feeling the weight of fatigue and consequently without developing that negative feeling which reduces the spirit of initiative of this target.
The main exercises are: Squats, joint movements and isometry.
Subsequently we thought of a series of shape solutions that could bring out the user's emotions and that could also establish an empathetic product/user relationship.
Once the analysis on paper was completed, we then moved on to creating a digital drawing of the final shape.
After this, in order to visualize our idea more easily and intuitively, we created a 3D model.
We subsequently created a series of 3D printed prototypes which allowed us to better understand the proportions, material and finiture of the device and allowed us to make a series of changes to improve the final result.
Below is a series of images of the prototype just after the 3D printing process. The processes carried out to create the prototype were: 3D CAD model, 3D printing and sanding.
The device is equipped with a weight system that will allow you to train your muscles in the correct way.
The fixed weighting allows you to give the device a fixed weight of 3 KG.
Then there are movable weights that can be removed from the body by hand and can be replaced with others of different weights. This Weights are fixed by magnetic Interlocking.

The different weights are easy to understand because they are represented with a smiley.

One smiley: light weight, more smileys: weight gain. (+1 /1.5 / 2 kg)
A series of possible exercises that can be performed with our device.
Interesting to note how attention is always given to the device and therefore to the correct execution of the exercise.
