Craziest? Sorry to go overboard here but some workouts you can do during intercourse would be fun (and sore). Or focus primarily on working out the pelvis. You guys asked for crazy so I'm trying to think outside the box here.

Been wanting this forever. Seems like a pretty cool app for the gym heads (like me). I WANT ONE lol

How about the ability to work with nike+? That would be pretty crazy and worthwhile. Some friends of mine have both a BB and a iPod, but the ipod would be unnecessary if they could use nike+ with their BB. Not to mention the $ they would save on having to get an ipod.

so you just sign up to receive workouts? kinda dumb expense.

I'd love to win this app. It would be enough to get me convinced to work out

Using the accelerometer to make comments during your exercise. Anything from supportive coach to army drill sargent. Use different personalities. It would be a hoot!

Useful Ideas (if the app doesn't already have them) - Pedometer, section to add schedule of vitamins, supplements, shakes, etc.

Craziest idea? Hmmm maybe a section on how to properly apply hair gel to be like a real Jersey guido. that could be useful to all the juicehead guidos out there, you know who you are. Throw in some tanning tips and sample tribal bands too. Good luck to all.

My idea for a wacky wild feature would be to incorporate a calorie burning tracker for everyday activities like mowing the lawn, doing the dishes, making love, etc

 
 
Posted by sk8er_tor Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

How about an option where you can select the type of workout you did and it will tell you what meal (or supplement) you should consume after the workout?

i hope to win

I don't know if this is 'wild' or 'crazy' but it would be pretty useful if it had a feature to monitor calorie consumption. It would be neat if I could enter what I ate and Gym Technik would track my daily intake and an estimate of what I would be burning in conjunction with the routine scheduling. Just like a rough estimate of that would help with the body stat tracking.

Would love this app! It would really help out at the gym

As a lot of cardio machines are able to sync with polar products, have the BlackBerry sync as well to the machine and/or watch.

 
 
Posted by bryce854 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

A feature that counts my reps for me outloud and yells at me when I get lazy would be great!

 
 
Posted by casper663 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

When guys are working out and you see a gorgeous looking woman working out by herself, your intimidate to approach her and say something. I would add a pick-line feature to this app to help you go over and try and get her attention.

Okay. I'm a pastor who preaches several times a week and does some teaching sessions, too. It would be great to use your software to track the calories burned while preaching. I can see quite a few calories biting the dust!

Thanks for the opportunity.

this would really help with my new years resalution

Count me in!

Getting the app to connect to a local service listing like google maps does with GPS location. This way users could look up local gyms, parks, supplement stores or fitness equipment stores even if they're out of town AND opens the doorway for gym technik to add revenue through advertising / recommendations / reviews of these locations. Win-win.

Been waiting for an upgrade since moving to 5.0. I would love free year license though.

 
 
Posted by FaeLLe Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

Locate other workout buddies in proximity by using bluetooth, assistance cell phone triangulation, GPS!

Ability to track workouts by the muscle group.
Reports on a per day basis to see summary of the muscle groups worked.

Categorical listing based on body part we would like to strengthen. Eg. to strengthen shoulders it would list exercises and the elements it would help develop and support.

Workout plan sharing between buddies.

Distance walked using the accelerometer in storm.

but the font was so small it was painful. Having the actual app with the 1yr subscription would take my workouts to the next level this year.

Kev, thanks for the opportunity to win this.

Thats a great app i hope to win..! Good Luck to everyone

 
 
Posted by Boywinlee Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

What would be even better is having someone demo the exercise routines. Videos to show you the right way to work out, now that will be the ULTIMATE fitness app.

 
 
Posted by JustaNJDiva Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I already have the free subscription and love it. I would absolutely love a Free 1 year subscription.

Please help me out!!!!

Will have to check this out.....

 
 
Posted by Steve3140 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

would be nice to monitor and log my time & progress at the gym.

 
 
Posted by thegotoguyy Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

last night pretty much hours before this was posted i ventured out looking for the gym technik app hoping it supported 5.0 and by my astonishment it was, I was just surprised CB hadn't posted about it yet. Despite the delay its here! I've already downloaded the app but a premium account would definitely help my workout regiment.

 
 
Posted by makya53 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I tried the free one, but I'm to cheap for premier. I will give it a spin.

This is one of the first "apps" I used on my Storm via the mobile site. Now having upgraded to a Storm 2, I've been waiting for the app to work.

I'd love to win a free premium account, as I haven't been willing to fork out a 3 mo. trial to see if I like the added benefits, and have stopped using the mobile site with my Storm2.

As for features:

1) GPS for tracking runs outdoors (mileage)
2) Sync with Polar (and / or others) heart rate monitors
3) Tips which are triggered by plateaus in your work outs. Since the app can track your results, when performance decreases / levels off it should alert you, and prompt you to work harder / get back on track.

I'm waiting for the day that all I need is my BB and my heart rate monitor. Today I have my Polar watch, Polar Pedometer (great for indoors though), Polar Heart Rate monitor, and my BB (for music). Tomorrow I could have my Heart Rate monitor and my BB, and that's it.

Cost of entry drops for others to pick up the technology as well, as heart rate monitors could be branded by GymTechnic / Provider and sold as a package as a "all-in-one" fitness setup. How many times do you travel to find that the treadmill in the hotel doesn't work with your heart rate monitor, or your batteries in your footpod have died, and you loose tracking of your workout... this solves that issue, as we all know we charge and have our BB's with us!

I have prototyped a BB heart rate monitor.

I have tested it against my treadmill HRM and it is working pretty well. I am planning to add GPS, programmable workouts, lactate threshold test, etc

to see a demo search "blackberry heart rate monitor" on youtube

email heartratemon@hotmail.com for info

 
 
Posted by jerkules Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I'd like to see the camera on the phone used to look at the form someone is using for an exercise and then have the program give an audible signal of whether or not the person performing the exercise is doing it incorrectly. This could be doe in real time or you could have the exercise recorded and compared to the right form. This may even allow you to compare past and present exercise as well.

 
 
Posted by thectrain Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I like the site, at least for seeing when I actually worked out. Sometimes I over inflate how much I go, sometimes I feel like I havn't gone at all when I went 5 times.

I think the "craziest" feature would be pre/post workout meal planner. Randomly put this on a scheduled workout day in advance so I can see that next workout session I can see what I should eat before and after my workout.

This would be incredible useful. I would pay for the premium account just for not having to deal with what to eat pre/post workout.

 
 
Posted by devGOD Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

1. body fat calucator
2. work out reminder
3. menu option to check for app update
4. Chart or input feature to tell you your recommended weight for your height.
5. work out / nutrition tip for the day

 
 
Posted by gregorio919 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I used it awhile back, and it seemed incomplete, would love to try it out again!

 
 
Posted by emsop2009 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

how about put an app to calculate and measure your BMI and personalized Meal plan according to BMI?

This would be great for the gym.

As for an idea: The app works out, so you don't have to, and you get huge.

 
 
Posted by Drewsky415 Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

Been wanting this for a while, but the gym membership alone is killing me.

 
 
Posted by ColeDaddy Monday, Feb 08, 2010 734 days ago

I'd like to see a VIRTUAL COACH, similar to the one on the Nintendo DS Lite game, Brain Age.

If I miss a day or a week from Brain Age, I'm told something like: "It's great to see you! It's been a week since you last logged in".

For example, perhaps the GT Coach could say to someone who's missed a week of work outs:
"Hi! It's been a week since you last exercised! Let's try to get back on track so you can reach your goals!"

There will always be encouragement whether a person is on track or has fallen off and seeks to get back on.

An option to sign up to recieve random text messages that challenge you to stop whatever your doing and do what ever the text says. Such as run in place or jumping jacks or sit ups. You get the idea. People around you will think you have gone crazy. estrickle@sbcglobal.net Sorry this posted 3 times. Having trouble with my BB.

meal tracking, or audio to say, go do flat bench now, go to calf raises now, etc.

I would love to be able to carry around just my phone, as opposed to my storm, my ipod, and a workout planner too.
