Created by former fitness studio owner, Shannon Raddin, Shadō is a pioneering heart rate gamification software offering highly interactive games to indoor cycling & fitness facilities. With a mission of “We Turn Exercise into an Experience!” Shadō choregraphs music intensity with heart rate zones to motivate members while engaged in a competitive game that is inclusive to all fitness levels.

“Shadō Fitness has taken heart rate technology to the next level of engagement,” said Josh Leve, AFS founder and CEO. “We are very pleased they’ve become an AFS sponsor and I couldn’t be more excited to see it in person at SUCCEED!”
Here’s why Shadō Fitness works:
- All ages and fitness levels can participate and be competitive
- Rewards are constant and ever-changing
- Stats are immediate and accurate
- Members and clients can share accomplishments on social media

“Our class reward system is not based solely on hardest efforts or highest watts,” said Raddin, CEO at Shadō Fitness. “We’ve designed a platform rewarding effort, recovery & strength all in one game and we can’t wait to show off our system to the AFS audience at SUCCEED!”
The end result is Shadō Fitness provides Heart Rate Gamification for fitness facilities looking to offer balanced training to their participants. The first phase gamification - specifically designed for INDOOR CYCLING- will launch on April 1st, 2020.
