Thanks for your extensive comments on personal fitness devices! I'm more than a bit of a nerd in this area...check out sleekgeekblog.com to understand why.

Mind if I follow up with you as I develop my ideas on personal fitness software further? You seem to have many thoughts on the matter. My email is kellyreid@gmail.com, what's the best way to contact you?

--

Nike+ (Top notch design...might go a bit overboard even)
MapMyRun (gets the job done, no frills)
FitBit (I don't have this but have always wanted to check it out)
DigiFit (great for heart rate tracking during your workout)
Heart rate by Azumio (Uses the camera flash to monitor blod flow through your finger tip!)
Stress check also by Azumio
Livstrong My Plate (calorie tracker)
Dailymile is also a great site to help you track your training and sharing it with friends. You can import data from Garmin or Nike+ devices.

Hi Kelly, did you still want help on this?

Thanks for checking back in! After many meetings and attempting the customer dev cycle I couldn't find a business model + product offering that I thought was a viable -business-. My ideas would be cool toys but as of right now, I ice-boxed the idea.

Are you still using a FitBit? I kind of retired mine, since I'm basically sedentary for the winter.
