Burberry is great example of using social media to completely revitalize the business. The stock as grown over 300% since 2007. One can attribute their success to a variety of factors but an important prong was social media. I think the difference with Burberry's strategy and say Pepsi's is using social media to enhance the key values/identify of the business.


The site (for now) caters too much to those who already have a set routine. I would develop standard plans that users can pivot from. (Those standard plans should based at minimum on gender, weight, and current fitness to be usable.)

Personally, I would love to use something like this since I find myself floundering at the gym and picking random exercises when I am not on the treadmill. But as a woman, I don't want a suggested routine of 100 x 50 lb bicep curls.


We don't currently have a database of plans to choose from.

We did enable google doc sharing and collaboration capabilities for workouts so those who did not have a set plan could use plans shared to them by friends or access a publicly created plan to try.

Feel free to customize your own workout and share it :)


ty gailwinds, we'll add your ideas to our discussions on how to handle public workout plans


The gaming potential of this is obviously awesome; however, I think this could revolutionize the home good ecommerce world. A user could build an entire room with a couple of clicks.
