DUBAI, November 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
FitStar Personal Trainer
for Android Delivers a Customized
Fitness Experience
FitStar, a leading digital health and fitness company, has
launched its popular mobile, video-based fitness app, FitStar™
Personal Trainer (in English), for Android users in the G.C.C
Region. A recipient of Apple's Editors' Choice Award, as well as an
App Store Best of 2013 and Best of
2014 product, FitStar Personal Trainer's expansion to
Android opens the door for an entirely new audience to access the
same award-winning FitStar experience on their mobile phones.
FitStar Personal Trainer for Android puts convenience in
users' hands by crafting personalized sessions led by football star
Tony Gonzalez that can be done
anywhere, anytime. Each workout is fully customized to a person's
fitness level so it can support a wide range of exercises, for
people just getting started to highly conditioned athletes. By
tailoring the intensity and difficulty of each move, the workouts
progress as the user progresses.
FitStar Personal Trainer for Android offers a wide range
of exercises within four goal-based Programs: Get Strong, Get Lean,
Get Moving and Daily Dose. To keep the experience fresh, FitStar
Personal Trainer also launches stand-alone workouts monthly,
and to date has debuted nearly 30 handcrafted Freestyle sessions
such as "10-Minute Abs," "7-Minute Workout," and "The FitStar 15."
Freestyle sessions are a perfect way to change up workouts or add
on to existing sessions, and now they're available for Android
users, too.
"We designed FitStar Personal
Trainer to inspire people to live healthier lives," said
Dave Grijalva, Co-founder,
FitStar. "FitStar for Android has been a top priority for us
for some time-it is actually the number one request we get from our
users. We knew it had to be the highest quality experience we could
provide, so we started from scratch to create something that feels
totally at home on the Android platform. Now a whole new
audience can use FitStar's groundbreaking, adaptive training
technology to reach their fitness goals."
To ensure users are staying on track with their goals,
FitStar Personal Trainer for Android features weekly and
lifetime stats, including sessions completed, calories burned, and
total workout time from the in-app dashboard. Users can share their
session summaries, as well as badges, across supported social
channels to stay motivated and inspire friends and family. The
mobile app and FitStar Personal Trainer web application work
in tandem, ensuring users' progress is always reflected whether
they are doing workouts on-the-go with their Android device, or
checking in at home via the web.
In March 2015, FitStar was
acquired by Fitbit and works with Fitbit's leading platform. Users
of FitStar Personal Trainer can publish workouts into their
Fitbit account to see how their personal training practice affects
their overall health. Using their Fitbit app login, users of the
Fitbit platform can also easily set up a FitStar account. Fitbit's
broad mobile compatibility (including over 200 Android, iOS and
Windows Phone devices, as well as computers), and the debut of
FitStar Personal Trainer on Android, helps even more people
reach their fitness goals. Together, the Fitbit and FitStar apps
support individuals seeking active and healthy lives.
FitStar Personal Trainer for Android offers two
personalized sessions a week and a handful of Freestyle sessions
for free. Access to unlimited personalized sessions and all
Freestyle sessions is $7.99/month or
$39.99/year. For more information
