I'm in the process of re-designing the external site for FitnessJournal.org. As part of the new site, I'd like to post some recent testimonials from some of you about how FitnessJournal.org has helped over the long and short term.
I figure a new thread dedicated to testimonials will be a great place to make this request, as you would have the ability to post here, and edit your own testimonial at any time. I can't guarantee that everything here will be posted on the external site, but your comments may attract more like minded individuals who can join our great family here at Fitness Journal!
if you were to sign up with fitness journal again, knowing what you know now, what would you tell yourself? What makes FitnessJournal.org special in your mind? Thanks in advance for anyone who does decide to contribute. Please make a note of if you do not wish to have your name and location listed. |

Well, for me this is an easy one. I recommend FitnessJournal to my friends all of the time.
The main thing I tell them is:
FitnessJournal provides you with an easy location to log your miles and track your progress. It is motivating to see the miles add up and visually track your progress with the USA Map. The shoe tracker was especially helpful, as right at 300 miles (as predicted), I started to experience knee pain. Without the shoe tracker to know that my shoes needed replacing, I may not have diagnosed it so quickly. When I replaced my shoes, the pain magically went away. |

I've been using FitnessJournal.org for almost a year. It is a terrific way to track what I'm doing. I really believe in cross training and having a chart of what percentage of my exercise is each type right on my home page is perfect for being sure I'm staying balanced in my plans. In addition, I can track performance on events and keep track of my times with a place to record how I feel and other intangibles (would I go back to this event in the future). I've tried several different online programs and find this the best I've ever used. Reading the discussion boards, it seems that everyone from absolute beginners to experienced recreational athletes (like me) to pretty serious competitors are successfully using FitnessJournal.org. Plus, the developer is great about updating the program with features that users request. He's added several that I asked for. |

I travel a lot and this site is the most effective tool I've found for keeping my workouts consistent. I can work out anywhere and log the miles, etc from anywhere in the world. Regardless of the season or my location, the site stays consistent and acts as an anchor or home base for my workout. So whether I'm running outdoors with a pedometer or on a treadmill with data readouts, I can track my progress with all the charts (which are so fun) and stay in contact with other runners/walkers without missing a beat. I also print out the charts for my doctor and trainer, who are delighted to see all the details at a glance. |

I've have been training for triathlons for the past two years. I have bought all the books, talked to all the race participants (8) triathlons and am convinced you need to have daily, weekly, and monthly plan to fulfill the annual training plan and goals. Fitness Journal. org. is the perfect way to track my progress without all the paperwork and spreadsheets. I wish you had a future training plan section so that you could set up your annual plan and then track your progress toward it online. |
