So, to get a little but off the whole deck/fundraising thing - but how do you compare yourselves to say, Fitocracy. I just started using Fitocracy, and am really enjoying it so far. As much as I hate the word, the "gamification" elements are truly effective - definitely push me to want to workout more and climb up that point ladder.

Other than that - the app looks solid, and nice n simple. My only feedback is the tagline "for people who hate fitness". I am not a massive fan of fitness (hence why I am interested in these apps), but want to become someone that DOESN'T hate fitness - isn't that the entire goal of your company?

Congrats on raising the round and a great execution so far though :)

Fitocracy's great as well! But they're more centered in tracking and gamifying.

We take a different "just tell me what to do" approach. Users sign up, enter their stats and choose a goal: strength, weight loss, etc. With that, we generate workouts and plans to help them get there.

We also offer meal plans and personal coaching, because the human aspect matters a lot. That's why I believe most "fitness tracking" startups will fail... people are looking for a plan, not for a pretty dashboard.
