"Gyminee is a new social network focused on health and fitness, with work out and tracking tools included in its service.  The site is not yet live, but I got to test drive the private beta.\nThere are two main components of the site:  your locker room, and your workouts.  These two components work hand in hand to help you track your progress and stay on track.  Enter in the goals you'd like to set for yourself.  You can track several aspects of your health and fitness, like water intake, body weight, chest size, etc.  These goals will all show on your Locker Room page, and be mapped on a line graph as you add your progress in on a regular basis.  Workouts will also determine your progress.  \nYou can join another user's work out plan, or create one of your own.  This can be set to private, or shared with the community.  If you're looking for some extra motivation, join a Gyminee group.  You also have the option of adding members as GymBuddies, so you can keep in touch with them as well. Updates for buddy activity will display on your Locker Room home page.  Viewing another user's profile displays their updates, workouts, goals, and groups.\nUnfortunately you can't see other users' profiles unless they've agreed to be your GymBuddy.  This limits social interaction, and downplays the function of an actual gym buddy, which is there to motivate and support you, not just fill up your buddy list.  If Gyminee would like to keep profiles private, then incorporating a recommendation system of some sort, like DietTelevision  has done, will help users find other members that could be most beneficial for them.  \nYou're also unable to add others' work out regiments as your own\u2014while you can follow them, and insert your progress, you cannot add it to your own profile without being part of that regiment's \"group\" or customize it for your own purposes.  Actually, work outs support little customization at all. While Gyminee will include images and video clips for the work outs users create, enabling the ability to add images or videos could allow users to establish themselves as Gyminee authorities, and help them convey the correct work out plan they've devised.  Similar sites include Traineo  and Goalmigo.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
