SEATTLE – The Seattle Storm today announced the launch of the ‘Storm Workout’ skill for Amazon Alexa. Voiced by three-time WNBA champion Sue Bird, the workout skill is available on all Alexa-enabled devices.

“I am excited for fans to experience the ‘Storm Workout’ for Alexa,” said Bird. “I’m passionate about basketball, fitness and technology, so the chance to work on a product that brings those passions together to support youth fitness was special.”

To launch the workout, tell any Alexa-enabled device, “Alexa, open Storm Workout.” The three-time WNBA Champion and four-time Olympic gold medalist will cheer on participants as Alexa helps to keep time. All drills have a basketball focus, but even those without basketball experience will be able to follow along and get their heart rate up. The workout skill is friendly for all ages and fitness levels and can be paused or resumed at any time.

“Amazon is excited to be working with the Seattle Storm to bring fans and families a new way to interact with the team, get moving, and have fun with Alexa,” said Kevin Burkhart, Director, Amazon Alexa and Echo. “As a season ticket holder and Seattle Storm supporter, I’m excited to try the workouts with my family.”

Raise the trophy with the Storm with a Storm 360 Membership, package or group experience available online or by calling (206) 217-WNBA (9622). Single-game tickets are available at StormBasketball.com.
