A little over a year ago, unable to find the fitness application I wanted, I decided to build it myself. I thought this would take six months. True to the double it and add 20% adage, here we are today with a full time team of two, and a great group of investors, advisors, and professionals at our side. With that as a backdrop, and the caveat that the work is never done, on to the main event.
Fleetly is a mobile + social fitness platform. Our product:
To start with, we have a library of over 250 exercises with professionally produced videos and about a dozen starter workouts. You can also create your own exercises and workouts, and share them. As Fleetly grows, so will the content, which we'll curate for you based on collective intelligence and our own expertise.
Fleetly works with Facebook and Twitter, so your friends can help keep you motivated and you can share epic runs or workouts to your heart's content.
You can earn points and medals for completing different exercises, and the Fitness Level takes all of your work and rolls it into a single number that tells you how you're doing (more on that in a later post).
Fleetly is not just about going to the gym, or running, or biking, or whatever. Most of you do lots of different things as part of your fitness, and we want to help you put those pieces together.
So that's what we're up to. We don't yet deliver on all of this 100%, and we look forward to hearing from you about that. What we do promise is to iterate relentlessly towards our goal: helping you unleash yourself.
Please download it, check it out, tell us what you think, and spread the word!
P.S. if you're a developer and would like to build something on top of our exercise library and logging system, the API will be out around the end of the month.
