July 15, 2008 - Weekend warriors and elite athletes are hitting beaches and trails this summer in a quest to achieve optimum fitness. Those looking to revamp or intensify their wellness regimens will find solutions at FitLink.com, an online community promoting physical fitness.
FitLink blends a unique user-friendly interface with features previously unavailable on a single site. Members gain access to current wellness news, research, and tips from some of the nation’s top fitness professionals—for free. The site boasts a database of more than 300 exercises, a workout calendar, and a journal to individualize and track members’ fitness journeys. Runners, cyclists, and others training for the next race or competition will enjoy tracking new routes and logging results. Inquisitive novices and helpful experts can share advice on one of many categorized discussion boards.
With a few mouse clicks, members find nearby personal trainers or workout partners and can view their profiles. Trainers and coaches assign workouts and trace client progress through a private log. Members can support their local fitness community by accessing a comprehensive health club directory and event calendar. For those seeking support and encouragement, FitLink connects members to a wide variety of online and local groups.
Co-founders Christopher Charlier and Jason Borro, both graduates of Northwestern University and passionate outdoor athletes, recognized a need for a one-stop fitness community. Together with the third co-founder, ACE certified personal trainer and Radio City Rockette, Katherine Proctor Charlier, a preliminary version of the site was released in 2006, integrating a select user group to generate feedback on function and features.
“FitLink’s two-year research project has helped us design features that trainers, facilities, and members find most important,” says co-founder Chris Charlier. “Our top priority is to exceed members’ needs and expectations.”
Health clubs and athletic stores are encouraged to post their locations through FitLink to more closely communicate with membership. Trainers and facilities can expect to see extended features and premium services in the future, such as client billing and scheduling.
“Our vision doesn’t stop here,” says Charlier. “We’re committed to making fitness convenient and accessible to everyone.”
