Apps can track calories burned, distance, speed, and really help users stay motivated. But what most apps can do is to keep the user hydrated as well. The harder someone pushes the more they’ll sweat and the more they may need to hydrate.
Now Endomondo, the app-based social fitness developer, and Powerade have partnered to add a hydration function within the app. The collaboration was announced last week, and will include hydration meter aids to remind users to drink up as well!
Endomondo And POWERADE® Add Hydration Guide To Mobile Fitness App
— Hydration is essential to any physical activity, which is why the new alliance between POWERADE® and Endomondo, the app-based social fitness community with over 12 million users worldwide, triggered the creation of a new hydration function within Endomondo.

Research shows dehydration resulting in as little as 2 percent body mass decrease can reduce physical and mental performance. The new Endomondo POWERADE hydration meter aids effective functioning of the body, promoting greater health and well-being.
The collaboration between POWERADE, part of The Coca-Cola Company, and Endomondo unites communities around the world with needed tools to reach fitness goals. Endomondo offers cutting edge technology, supported by location-based GPS, and social networking capabilities motivating users toward fun and fitness. Endomondo is also launching the POWERADE Challenge that rewards those exercising. Join the challenge at http://www.endomondo.com/challenges.
Emmanuel Seuge, The Coca-Cola Company’s Head of Worldwide Sports and Entertainment Marketing, said “Endomondo’s vision of a world where everyone exercises is a vision shared by both organizations. The collaboration is intended to motivate fitness fans to compete while building strength and conditioning so everyone becomes better all-round athletes.”
Christian Birk, Co-founder of Endomondo, said, “We are excited to announce Endomondo’s first-ever global brand collaboration. This relationship with POWERADE will pull together the innovative resources from both partners to create new, unique experiences that help people around the world have fun while leading a more active lifestyle.”
