Blacksburg, Va. (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- Fitnet, a top-rated comprehensive health and fitness mobile solution that utilizes biometric webcam sensors and human trainers to provide real-time feedback during video exercise, launched today for Android users. In addition to availability on Google Play, Fitnet is also announcing integration with Google’s Chromecast, allowing its subscribers to seamlessly access content on large screen displays, such as TVs. Fitnet already has users from over 200 countries, and by making its app available for Android, its workouts now reach over 95% of the smartphone market worldwide.
“Fitnet availability for Android delivers on our vision to bring the world’s premier health and fitness app to scale,” said chief geek Bob Summers. “In just one year, Fitnet trainers have already enabled Fitnet clients to burn over 5 million calories of exercise! We’re excited to see how many millions more we can add to this total now that the critical-mass of smartphone users are within our reach.”
Boasting added functionality, Fitnet’s new Chromecast integration broadens the apps’ real-time measurement capabilities. On the heels of its integration with Apple Health and Apple TV, Fitnet’s integration with Google Chromecast will transform more smartphones into wearable devices.
