Fitocracy
I’ve been using Fitocracy to track my workouts and socialize with other fitness geeks and it’s a stellar time.
They’re working really hard to create a great game to encourage the accomplishment of fitness goals.
They’re in private beta still but I’ve got a number of invites so hit the link and sign up for Fitocracy and friend me there.
