Smart Fit Method, with a location in La Jolla and several others in San Diego and Orange counties as well as Utah, bills itself as a high-tech fitness studio.

It combines artificial intelligence, exercise robotics, custom apps, personal trainer support and health research “to give you a smooth, focused and intimate workout experience.”

The La Jolla Light asked La Jolla assistant manager and lead trainer Tylee Low the following questions to find out more.

Q. How and when did Smart Fit Method begin?

A. Smart Fit Method was founded in 2021 to revolutionize traditional fitness by merging science, technology and personal training. Our goal was to create a smarter, more efficient way for people to build strength, improve their health and extend their longevity — all while fitting into busy lifestyles.

In La Jolla, we’ve built a community around the idea that fitness should be personalized, empowering and sustainable for the long haul.

Q. How would you describe your mission?

A. Our mission is to help people live stronger, healthier and longer lives. We use cutting-edge technology and personalized programming to optimize strength, body composition, metabolic health and recovery — all while making the fitness journey measurable, motivating and sustainable. We believe everyone deserves access to science-backed fitness methods that not only transform their bodies but enhance their quality of life.

Q. What makes Smart Fit Method unique compared with similar businesses?

A. Smart Fit Method isn’t a typical gym, it’s a data-driven, results-focused experience. We utilize world-class technologies like ARX adaptive resistance machines, Vasper cooling HIIT [high-intensity interval training], the Carol AI bike and metabolic health testing to create truly customized training plans.

Every session is 20 minutes, led by a professional trainer and tailored to each client’s personal goals, biological feedback and lifestyle needs. With our method, you can see meaningful improvements in strength, metabolism and overall health in as little as one hour of exercise per week — no guesswork, no wasted effort.

Q. What’s new with Smart Fit Method that you want everyone to know about?

A. We’ve recently introduced a three-session consultation series for new clients, offering a full-body composition analysis, strength testing, metabolic assessment and a Vasper recovery session. It’s designed to give individuals a clear, personalized understanding of where they are now and how we will help them get where they want to be.

We’re also proud to announce new partnerships with select insurance providers, allowing us to offer exclusive membership rates and make longevity-focused fitness more accessible to our community.

Q. What are the personal and professional benefits of doing business in the La Jolla area?

A. La Jolla is filled with people who value health, innovation and living life to the fullest — making it the perfect place for Smart Fit Method to thrive.

Personally, it’s an incredible honor to support such a dynamic, motivated community in their health journeys. Professionally, La Jolla challenges us to always stay at the forefront of fitness, wellness and customer care. This town inspires us to be better every single day.

Smart Fit Method is at 7863 Girard Ave. in La Jolla. Hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. For more information, call 858-500-1166, email lajolla@smartfitmethod.com or visit smartfitmethod.com.

ZetrOZ Systems is highlighting its FDA-cleared sam® wearable ultrasound device at two major sports medicine conferences. The product targets NBA and collegiate athletic trainers seeking advanced solutions for soft tissue injuries prevalent in basketball.

The technology behind ZetrOZ’s sam® wearable ultrasound device has demonstrated clinical effectiveness in accelerating recovery from common basketball-related injuries such as hamstring strains, ankle sprains, and patellar tendinopathy through non-invasive, drug-free treatment. With over 30 clinical studies supporting its efficacy, the sam® device works by enhancing blood flow and oxygenation to injured areas while removing cellular waste. This works to promote faster healing.

Center Moriches High School student Gavin Bailey recently earned the title of New York State champion in Marine Service Technology. A recent competition tested Gavin’s proficiency in working on boats and trailers, including his ability to diagnose and fix issues that may arise.

Gavin competed against other students at the New York State SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Championships in Syracuse. There, he participated in individual skill stations and a written test. The hands-on portion included many aspects of two-stroke and four-stroke outboard, sterndrive, and inboard troubleshooting and repair. This required proficiency in marine electrical and ignition systems, fuel systems, cooling systems, lubrication systems, propulsion systems, and boat and trailer rigging and repair. The written test included these same topics, along with diagnostics, service, and repair of marine accessory items. Competitors were judged on safe work practices, cleanliness, organizational skills, accuracy, speed, and the completion of assigned tasks, worksheets, and paperwork.

“Gavin has proven himself as one of the most skilled technical marine servicers in the nation,” said Center Moriches High School Principal Marissa Mangogna. “This competition gave him the opportunity he rightfully deserves to show what he can do among the best of the best in the field.”

As state champion, Gavin has earned an invitation to compete at the SkillsUSA Championships this June in Atlanta, where he’ll test his skills against other top students from across the country.

  • CapTech enhances PGA Championship app
  • Future of Sport Lab names latest cohort
  • MLS, Apple expand free offerings

The PGA Championship has added further enhancements to its tournament app this week through its technology partner, CapTech.

For last year’s PGA Championship near Louisville, CapTech helped overhaul the tournament’s app. Included in the refresh were features that could tell fans where to find the nearest concession stand, or how to access mobile charging stations. Geo-triggered notifications welcomed fans to the Louisville airport, or when they arrived on the course at Valhalla Golf Club.

CapTech is adding more features this week. As part of its Data-Driven Fan Experience, the company is using an internal AI tool that pulls data from fans based on their location and app usage — as long as they’ve opted in — and then gives real-time feedback. Based on that feedback, CapTech can push notifications through the PGA app to fans on the ground at Quail Hollow.

There are notifications on how to find the best rideshare options, or how best to navigate the course and see big-name players while avoiding large crowds. Users will receive personalized pushes based on the holes they’ve walked, or where the nearest concession area is.

The data provides fans on the ground with enhanced ways to consume the product, but it also helps brands with on-site activations measure success. Companies CapTech is helping activate with this week include T-Mobile, Michelob Ultra and Corebridge Financial.

“They all want the data so they can now say, how do I measure what my activation is doing?” said Jon Bradway, CapTech’s principal, sports & media lead. “So we’re pretty pumped about what we can provide.”

CapTech, founded in 1997 by Sandy Williamson, has golf ambassadors including Harris English, J.T. Poston, Patton Kizzire and Ben Griffin. In 2022, the PGA tapped CapTech as its official digital technology services agency. Last year, the sides extended their partnership through 2026. In early 2024, TGL named CapTech its official technology partner. It also works with the PGA Tour.

CapTech works with WME.

Future of Sport Lab, a sports tech accelerator created by Toronto Metropolitan University and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, has selected its sixth cohort of startups.

The ten companies in the class, which were selected from an application pool of more than 150, are as follows:

  • Digital coaching platform CoachThem, which was founded by former NHL players Mike Weaver and Robb Tallas and is used by multiple NHL teams and Hockey Canada
  • Sports-focused travel and tourism platform Coordle, which connects teams, customers and local businesses to simplify coordination
  • Wearable vendor Elev8 & Perform, which uses quantum nano biomaterials and AI-powered smart imaging and analytics to improve cardiovascular health, recovery and performance
  • AI-powered basketball IQ platform HooperIQ, which uses quizzes, film analyses and game breakdowns to train decision-making
  • Women-focused golf experience company Iron Lady Golf, which was founded by PGA pro Lindsay Knowlton
  • Fan loyalty and rewards platform FanMore
  • AI-powered smart insole provider Lubu Technologies
  • Nonprofit MOMentum, which supports elite athlete mothers with grants and other resources
  • Free-to-play social gaming platform Shake
  • Athlete and sports team-focused mental health platform The Playbook

FSL founder and managing director Cheri Bradish told SBJ that FSL did not prioritize any particular business unit in the companies selected, opting to instead cast a wide net across AI, athlete performance, fan engagement and more. Bradish did note, however, that there was an emphasis on founder teams, particular those that included high performance athletes.

“The narrative is true — the more aligned the founders are with the athlete experience, and being an athlete themselves, is paramount,” she said. “It definitely has accelerated some of these companies in a way that helps them test-case where they’re going.”

The companies are currently going through an eight-week program consisting of both in-person and virtual programming. That includes FSL connecting current cohort founders to the founders of former FSL companies and executives in residence for regular meetings, as well as providing networking opportunities with sports business professionals. The program will culminate in a pitch day at the end of June.

FSL’s key partner on the “executives in residence” front is Canadian business incubator DMZ, and FSL’s mentor advisor team consists of representatives from Rogers Sportsnet, the Toronto Blue Jays, MLSE and more, according to Bradish. While FSL does not invest in its startups — their focus is on programming — it last year partnered with Canadian venture capital firm Relay Ventures, which invests in a select number. The 37 startups that have graduated from the program — including Drive Hockey Analytics, Spalk, The Gist and Zone7 — have raised more than $150 million to date, Bradish said.

This year, FSL also launched a new initiative for female entrepreneurs called FSLW, which includes eight women-founded startups (four of which come from the latest FSL cohort). FSLW will be hosting a showcase event in partnership with espnW Summit Canada — and supported by Canadian Tire’s Women’s Sports Initiative — in June.

MLS has expanded distribution of its Sunday Night Soccer production internationally.
The addition of free Sunday Night Soccer telecasts for Xfinity customers is the latest in a series of moves to drive new Season Pass subscriptions. MLS

MLS and Apple are offering even more content from the league’s Season Pass steaming service to Xfinity customers at no cost by making weekly Sunday Night Soccer telecasts available within the channel guide on Xfinity X1 and the Xfinity Stream app for the rest of the 2025 season. Subscribers to Comcast’s cable service have already had free access to the league’s Saturday night whip-around show, MLS 360, since the start of the season. Xfinity users with an MLS Season Pass subscription can access all matches directly through the Xfinity interface.

The addition of free Sunday Night Soccer telecasts for Xfinity customers is the latest in a series of moves to drive new Season Pass subscriptions by creating new entry points and raising awareness of the service. MLS and Apple have also allowed DirecTV customers to subscribe to Season Pass directly through the satellite provider’s interface, offered free access to T-Mobile wireless customers and offered four matches for free through the EA Sports FC Mobile app.
