MINNEAPOLIS – ST.PAUL. Is exercise the new social medium? Could be, according to Shawn Rankin, CEO of PERFECT FIT HEALTH. Rankin’s company has launched a unique consumer website called PERFECT FIT (www.perfectfitfree.com) designed to transform how consumers approach self-guided and professionally-guided fitness and injury rehabilitation.
Visitors who register for free gain access to over 1700 high-quality exercise animations and hundreds of professionally-designed workouts and injury prevention programs. They can follow a virtual trainer-guided 4 week exercise plan prepared to match their goals; and also access a powerful set of tools to create new workouts from scratch, modify existing workouts, save and print workouts, share workouts by exchanging “workout codes” (letters and numbers assigned to each custom workout), and take workouts with them on handheld devices. In addition, registered members can connect with rehabilitation and fitness providers and access professionally prescribed exercise programs, as well as injury-specific online-mobile treatment plans prescribed to them by their physician.
“We haven’t seen another site like this,” said Rankin. “An all-in-one site where visitors can get their fitness and injury rehabilitation needs met is really unique. There are other free exercise sites, but they have few if any videos. Those that do have videos and rudimentary workout creation tools can cost users up to $30 per month.”
The goal of www.perfectfitfree.com, according to Rankin, is to make exercise and fitness more social --- even when one is exercising alone --- by sharing workout codes with friends, family, teammates, colleagues and more using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Email. The ability to easily swap exercises with comparable ones, or choose different workouts from a list, can add much-needed variety to keep up a person’s interest,” Rankin said.
Many people do not have a health club membership or access to sophisticated equipment, so www.perfectfitfree.com offers exercises with a variety of equipment choices, including no apparatus at all. This makes the site useful for those who want to work out at home or in hotel rooms while on the road.
“With this huge library of over 1700 exercise animations, combined with our guidance, everybody should end up with the best workout for any purpose, body region, or current state of fitness. Next to having your own personal trainer guide you through every workout, or your own physical therapist by your side while you perform your home exercise program, this may be the next best solution,” Rankin said.
And speaking of physical therapists and personal trainers, Rankin expects to offer the ability to connect with both virtually very soon. “There will be a cost for personal advice and guidance, though,” Rankin said. “Our vision for a new hybrid (onsite-virtual) approach to injury rehabilitation and fitness is right around the corner --- where some professional services are provided onsite and some virtually."
