About FitWatch

How FitWatch Came About

FitWatch is the cumulation of many things, but mainly my own quest to find a web site that would satisfy all my needs. Some fitness sites only focused on "dieting" (lose 10 pounds by July 10th!) and would tell you what to eat. Still others focused on both nutrition and exercise but had no support forums, and were again telling you exactly what to do. And with some you would have to answer many questions before you could even find out how much they charge. Almost all didn't focus on self-improvement.

I wanted a web site that would give me basic information about fitness along with tools that I could use to analyze and track my fitness, and which would allow me to focus on improving myself emotionally and intellectually. A web site that would be transparent in its motives. Making money is not a bad thing and I have no problems with paying for services rendered, but don't try to take advantage of my vulernabilities to do it!

By combining my programming skills with what I had learned about nutrition and exercise over the years, and by gathering information from reliable sources and staying completely away from anything that smacked of fad diets, FitWatch was born. So, in no way am I a professional nutritionist or trainer, or even close to being a psychologist. I have taken weight training at the local college under the guidance of an ex-Olympic coach and learned a lot there. I've gone from 165 pounds to 135 pounds of lean, mean fighting machine, only to go back up to 154 pounds. Being fit takes a lot of practise...

And Now It's FitWatch "Inc."

FitWatch Inc. was incorporated in February 2003. From a small web site that provides fitness tools, FitWatch has now gone on to create an online fitness tracker! The future holds no limits...
