Hey guys, we really appreciate all of you joining the site and posting great content. However, we not only want you on the site - we want your friends too.
So we added a contact importer allowing you to enter your email address and password (we don't see it or save it, don't worry) which allows you to invite all of your email contacts easily. It will also let you know if any of your email contacts are already on Fitconnect, so that you can friend request them.
So do me a favor and Invite your Email Contacts! Thanks lot.
Video Blog coming later today, check back. Also, just wanted to clear this with everyone, we actually haven't received the investment money (we get it later this week). Everything done with the site so far was done on our own, so expect lots of really cool features coming once we get that money!!... read more

First off, I will be responding to everyone's messages and wall posts - just give me a few days.
As you all probably know from watching The Money and the Power, 50 Cent was nice enough to invest his $100,000 in our site. Keep coming back because I will be posting blogs about stuff you didn't get to see from the show (for example: Cornbreadd and I actually got in a scuffle once or twice).
If you're a member of a gym, please find it on our site and join your gym's community. Our goal is to connect gym owners with their members similar to the way myspace connects musicians with their fans. Also, when looking at local gyms that you're considering joining, you'll be able to see if there are any familiar faces that already go there. You'll also be able to see gym ratings, schedules, and basically see which gyms are poppin' and which gyms are kinda whack.
While we already have some cool features here on Fitconnect (gym communities, recipes, bl... read more

After doing pushups with 50 cent, I finally got a chance to tell 50 Cent about the FitConnect Community. If you’re reading this, you probably know what Fitconnect’s all about – but obviously Curtis Jackson had no clue what Fitconnect is. He probably thought from hearing the name that it was a dating site for fitness enthusiasts.
Only 60 Seconds to Explain Fitconnect to 50 Cent
My time in Mr. Jackson’s office was short, I only had 60 seconds to explain what Fitconnect was about, what the plans are for the future, and how I would spend the $100,000 on improving Fitconnect if I won the contest.
Although they cut most of the parts out – I explained how our fitness community is geared toward connecting fitness experts with newcomers, gym owners with their members, fitness professionals and merchandisers with interested customers, and bloggers with each other. As always with networks, there is opportunity to meet friends and form relationships a... read more

Since I'm swamped with "stuff" to do this week, I haven't had much time to workout, and sadly I haven't had much time to get on here either.
So I'm cheating with this blog and instead of offering advice, I'm asking for it...
What do you do to still fit in the workouts when you're busy as hell?... read more

The other day I was at the gym when a guy walked in sporting bright yellow crocs. Now, I’m not one to criticize people’s gym outfits, but if you’re really out of line, I’m going to have to make fun of you (on here at least). Crocs are stupid and should not be worn in public – especially not the gym!
What would possess someone to strap on a pair of Crocs to go to the gym? Aside from their stupid look, they are definitely not reliable as a gym shoe. They offer little or no support for your ankles.
Crocs should be banned from gyms
Two popular gym rules are “re-rack weights” and “wipe off equipment.” Well I’m adding another one to the top of the list. “Don’t wear Crocs and look like an idiot.”
