As we’ve seen competition – friendly competition – can help be a major motivating way to keep up with fitness goals. And Fitbug will help users stay motivated with the new Games Framework and iPhone app that allows taems or individuals to compete against each other in a variety of virtual challenges.
This new capability encompasses Google map-based progress and hotspot graphics, as well as Chatterbox and social media features to keep users motivated and connected. It also offers a team leader boards, and builds upon Fitbug’s previous league challenge, Fantasy Footfall. These games can further be customized to any route and branded to meet client requirements. The new games platform has been designed to enable Fitbug to provide a library of readily available challenges to clients and, where required, quickly build custom challenges for specific client requirements.
And for those smartphone users Fitbug has launched its first iPhone app, which allows Fitbug members to log physical activities and nutritional input, adjust their goals and check their daily “step” progress with a new, easy-to-use mobile interface, thereby motivating users to track progress to encourage fitness dynamically and while on-the-go. The app is free and can be downloaded by Fitbug members from the Apple App Store.
