At GymFu we’ve been blown away by how much progress you guys have made: 40% of you have doubled your reps; the top 100 PushupFu champions have 300,000 pushups between them; some of the top SquatFu guys have done nearly 1000 reps each (!!!) – not to mention the people who’ve achieved 200 crunches via CrunchFu! Amazing! :D

Now we’ve got something really awesome, we want to shout about it and help as many people as possible to get fit… but we’re only a tiny company so this is where you can help; we need you to tell the world about our apps – using Twitter and/or Facebook.

If you’re wondering what’s in it for you, well apart from getting more people for battles and the warm fuzzy feeling of helping people get fit we’re offering something we know you’ve been wanting for ages;

NEW VOICES! FOR FREE! Plus a 33% price reduction!

Yup – FINALLY, not only a pair of human voices to motivate you through the workout but also a price reduction so now you can get all the apps for a more rounded workout!

How you receive the voices is easy; from 1pm GMT on Tuesday 6th Oct (that’s 2pm in London, 6am in San Fancisco and 9am in New York) and for TWO WEEKS ONLY all you need to do is open the app, go to Home and use the special offer button to tell your friends about the apps.

You can find out more about the offer and the Terms and Conditions here.

Here we’ll be covering all sorts of things from the best GymFu straps through to exercise, nutrition and comments on the latest goings on in the wellness world. Be sure to subscribe and/or visit regularly as we might even throw in a few exclusive sneak peaks into our latest applications.

For those of you new to GymFu, we make motion-detecting fitness minigames to add a bit of spice to exercise. The whole thing started one day in the gym when Jof asked himself why so few people kept up exercise. The answer was to make fitness more compelling by combining a portable personal trainer with challenges and battles to keep people motivated. Since our launch (at 2am on New Years Day!) our users have clocked up an amazing 2.2 MILLION reps… and that’s just the start!

A big THANKS for visiting and we hope you’ll come back again soon. Please bear with us whilst the site is under construction; there’s still a few broken links here and there, but everything will be ready by Tuesday next week (4th Aug). We look forward to your return :) Feel free to say hello in the comments.
