Android Apps and Fitness

Posted on by

A small diversion from the usual fitness posts, if you will excuse it.

Fitness app for Android is almost complete

My main push for Android app development for the last few months has been to create a free fitness trainer app. That’s going quite well, but my standards for quality have been making it difficult to get out the door. Don’t fret, this app will be out in the next few months. It’s looking good, and most of the 1.0 features are solid and tested. I have a bit of work to do on the content (stretches, exercises, etc.), but it’s all coming together. I hope this app will be able to help a lot of people train harder and keep in control of their fitness training. As the release gets closer, look for updates here.

Slight diversion – Droid Secret Tips

As a small side project, I released a tiny Android app to test the waters. Droid Secret Tips is live now as a free app, and shares tips and tricks on using any phone or other device running the Android OS. I’m excited that it passed 500 downloads almost overnight – the warm welcome has been helpful in keeping me motivated to complete the fitness trainer app.

In case you are wondering, I don’t expect to release these apps in the Apple app store any time soon – my current focus is on quality for the Android apps.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming on fitness and training!

About FitnessJourneyman

Fitness is a passion of mine. I train in martial arts and rock climbing, but spend time doing a lot of other sports and outdoor activities. It's hard to find time for it all. Lately I've been focusing on how to keep up with my core activities with so many things competing for my time. In particular, martial arts training requires discipline to keep studying the material that you need to remember and become better at. I blog about helpful information and motivation to keep people at their best and hopefully accelerate their training or even take it to the next level.

Android Apps and Fitness — 3 Comments

  1. Just like all the other categories of Android apps, the sports apps available for your Android phone are extremely diverse. In my opinion, this particular category may be the most diverse simply because of all the different sports that are played throughout the world. Of course with every sport comes hundreds of Android apps.

  2. I currently attend college in Ireland so my main concern is getting apps as Amazon app store is only available in the US.

    • There are a lot of app stores that you can get apps from – besides the main Android Market from Google (which should be available in Ireland), there is also SlideMe, GetJar, and dozens of other app stores.
