Fitistics.com - Fitness in a Flash

Fitistics has patent pending hardware that plugs into current commercial grade cardio equipment, which allows club members to record their workouts on a standard USB flash drive (fitness in a flash). Members can then transfer their exercise stats to Fitistics.com and track their data over time. Fitistics is completing its testing now and is scheduled for launch in October 2007 at the NEHRSA trade show in Providence, RI. Fitistics will be adding social networking features as well as tools that promote competition among its members.

"Fitistics is committed to providing the fitness and health industry with all the tools for people to lead a healthier and happier life. We understand the benefits of being able to track your personal exercise statistics. We also recognize and address the need for that capability to be easy-to-use and affordable."

It will be a killer because of its ability to validate exercise activity. The data that comes off the cardio machines is encrypted. This will become a tool for employers and health care providers to reward its employees and clients for leading active lifestyles.
