Fitness Leader Offers Innovative Product from Striiv to Encourage Physical Activity Around the Clock
(firmenpresse) - REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Today, Striiv announces a partnership with fitness club industry leader 24 Hour Fitness, making its new Smart Pedometer with Activity Motivation System available at more than 100 - 24 Hour Fitness® club locations nationwide and on . The small, touchscreen device is always on to accurately track steps, distance, calories, stairs and minutes of activity throughout the day. Its intuitive Activity Motivation System keeps people moving even after they have left the gym!
"We know it is important to reverse the impact of the increasingly sedentary American lifestyle, and encourage people to take advantage of opportunities to move more throughout the day," said David Wang, CEO and co-founder of Striiv. "With Striiv, 24 Hour Fitness members can challenge themselves with even more activity whether they are at or away from the gym."
The Striiv Smart Pedometer also includes Striiv Connected, a brand new built-in social component that lets users compete in activity-based challenges with friends and family. They can even race for real life prizes, like household chores or a cup of coffee.
The suite of motivational features on the Striiv Smart Pedometer includes:
-- Step or stair-based competitions which let people compete with friends and family and bet energy or real life prizes
Through a partnership with GlobalGiving, every step taken with Striiv counts toward a donation to charity -- at no cost to the user
Unlike traditional time-based social games, Striiv's games are activity-based. In the MyLand game the more you move, the more your enchanted island flourishes. Every step earns energy which can be used to grow plants, build structures, and attract new creatures
-- Beating friends' or family members' stats (like daily average and personal record for steps, stairs or minutes of activity) earns bonus points and a trophy for that day
-- Users can connect to a computer to view steps, stairs, calories burned, and donations made. Each time Striiv is connected to a computer, the latest activity information is stored, and people get a daily prize, such as a free Mystery Box to use in Myland!
