I just went to the link you provided and I have to say: It’s a true resource that they actually charge other people for on proprietary sites like WW, N/System, or J.Craig. It even has all of the tracking tools that the pay sites give. I hope that this application gets more exposure: Especially with those on a tight budget since the present economy forces many people to cut back on costs: Namely costs related to vanity. Now I’m not saying that trying to keep fit is a vanity per say, but compared to paying necessary bills like the mortgage or the electric bill, this is definitely a vanity-based expense. Thank you so much for putting this up. It will be a real help to me on a personal level. Take care.
