BlackBerry Fitness Software
Posted on December 24th, 2008 5 commentsI’m about to try out a few 3rd party applications for BlackBerry, focusing on fitness. My primary use will be for tracking workout routines. In the past, I used a notebook. Since I take my BlackBerry Storm with me to the gym for listening to music, I might as well use it to track my workout routine.
I have found three apps that I plan to try out:
PumpOne Mobile pay as you go?
Gym Technik $FR.EEIf you have used any of these, or others, let me know what you think. I’m looking for some real simple technology here…like a spreadsheet to track my routine. Don’t need anything fancy.
If interested, let me know and I’ll report a review in a couple weeks after I try them out. Today, I start testing Ascendo Fitness.
UPDATE: Updated and confirmed the pricing for Gym Technik is free. Ascendo isn’t Storm friendly, and just painful to use on the Storm. I have not yet tried PumpOne yet.

Interested in your feedback on this. Gym Technik is free.

Hey Shawn – As an update, we’ve actually released a new Storm UI. Why don’t you try it out and let us know your thoughts!

fitgeek,
Funny you mention this today. In today’s most recent BB post, I talk about GymTechnik (though just briefly). This is the app that I have used most since starting my analysis. I’ve still got a lot more testing before I fully weigh in with a review. So far, with it’s desktop web setup interface and easy browser-based Storm UI, it’s becoming my workout app of choice. I’m wondering if there will be an installable app for the Storm, or if the future is all web-based?
Regarding pricing, are the plans to keep the cost free? If so, how is GymTechnik producing revenue (or more importantly, what’s the catch for the user)?
Thanks for chiming in and great to see the gymtechnik.com community visiting the blog.
