There are a number of fitness tracking devices out there on the market. Depending on how serious you're taking your training, you might want to go with one over the other. If your'e generally looking to see how "active" you are throughout the day, you might decide to buy a simple pedometer or accelerometer (step-counters) and compare your daily steps to the recomended 10,000 steps/day for "Active Lifestyle" status.
If you're looking to dive deeper into performance-based parameters, a heart rate monitor would help you step-up your game, granted you've done your research or worked with a coach on a plan to designate target HR ranges. It's importnat to remember the tool/tracker and information obtained is only as good as the data is applied to your specific training goals.
If you're looking to grab some serious performance metrics, have very specific goals, and can invest some time to research or hire a strength coach, then "PUSH" might be the tool for you. With the level of depth that PUSH's arm-band tracking device goes into to analyze your physiological response to training, it's almost better in the hands of a certified strength coach that can really crunch the numbers and let you know what they mean and how you can improve on them.
To address the split in their market appeal, PUSH has split their website in half between athletes & coaches, which is great. This is a device I know our team here at MFS would love to get our hands on and test out! What do you think?? Check them out here...

What sets MFS workouts apart from most group-style crosstraining facilities is the quality of coaching, instruction, and motivation we bring to each class. We’re able to do this because we keep our class size smaller than most gyms and we pride our coaching on attention to detail, focusing on the individual and their goals. At MFS you’re not just a number, you’re a part of our family…and you’re treated that way at every level.

Known by many and noted from the great Dr. Oz, motivation is the biggest hurdle people face when on their weight loss journey, so having an app that can help you put your money where your mouth is when you first want to start your workout plan while motivation is high is monumental!
Released just this month, the new tool GymPact allows you to put a monetary value to the workouts you make or miss at your local gym. Their very simple interface allows you to pick a value (you can pick from $5-$50) for your "pact" on your weekly "pact plan" (you can pick from 1-7 workouts a week). Then you download their phone app so you can check in to your gym and track these workouts. You'll lose your weekly pact if you don't make all your workouts or you can gain money from all those people that lost their pact if you make yours. Pretty awesome right?!
So I actually signed up for GymPact this week. You can only start your pacts on Mondays so mine hasn't started just yet, but I already have a great idea on how it actually works.
an indefinite break (essentially their way to cancel), or edit any of your settings.Overall, I think this is AWESOME. When I was a trainer, I would always try to implement the same concept with my clients by utilizing their spouse, roommate, coworker, whomever, to hold them accountable monetarily or with other rewards for making their workouts. This option is just that, but an app won't cave under severe sweet talking and won't forget about the pact either.
If you have a gym, Pilates or yoga studio, etc. membership and want to work on staying consistent and increase your motivation to stick to your workout plan (who isn't?!) then sign up for this immediately! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you do your workouts on your own and outside (like me) then you'll need to stick to the classic tactics of having a workout buddy, journaling, making milestones with rewards and taping your goals/vision to the frig.
Has anyone else signed up and used this service? Even though I workout outside mostly, I'll continue and try it with a low pact plan to hold me accountable for my yoga studio workouts and will keep everyone updated on how it goes.
