Gym America: Personalized Online Nutrition, Fitness & Exercise Programs

Selected by Forbes Magazine as "Best of the Web" for nine consecutive years, Gym America is a custom diet planner and fitness tracker. This revolutionary online personal trainer and nutrition system creates exercise and diet plans based on your individual needs, goals, and schedules.

The system allows you to establish your own health/wellness goals and build a corresponding diet and exercise program either using database suggestions or creating one of your own. Personalized workout suggestions include a comprehensive workout tracker, instructional videos, fitness challenges, and personalized diet plans. You'll enjoy a diet tracker with nutrition scorecards, an in-depth food database, and weight and body-mass ratio trackers.

Work with friends to meet a joint fitness goal and share each other's progress to encourage success with an optional sharing feature. 

Participants in the program can also go mobile and access their nutrition and fitness plans on the go with the Gym America iPhone and iPad apps.
