iPod Docks Coming to a Gym Near You

Apple and Nike Coming to a Gym Near You
Apple, Nike, and several gym equipment manufacturers are working closely to integrate docks for your iPod. The purpose of the docks however is not to play back the latest LCD Soundsystem tracks, or charge your device. Instead they're part of a Nike program for saving workout info to your iPod, tracking goals, and once you get home, uploading this information to a Nike website for tracking workout progress and comparing with other gym rats.

This is the second time Apple and Nike have teamed up on fitness equipment. The companies still sell the Nike + iPod package which includes a pair of running shoes and an accelerometer that sends data to the included iPod Nano.

24-Hour Fitness and Virgin Athletic Health Clubs have already signed on to the project and the ability to plug your iPod Nano into the fitness equipment should be in about 500 gyms by the end of the summer.
