CHARGE Running Releases on App Store, Offers New Way to Keep Runners Entertained, Motivated.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 22, 2017 -- The CHARGE Running App was founded on the belief that running without the company of others tends to be boring, less motivating, and tedious, but it can be tough finding a running partner when you need it.
“We knew that with the right app, fitness-tracking technology could really improve the way we experience running, which can be a very lonely hobby,” stated Matthew Knippen, CHARGE Running’s lead developer and CEO.
Discouraged by a surplus of run-of-the-mill apps that simply track and monitor runner data, Knippen and co-founders created a more social and engaging experience; when runners sign in to the CHARGE Running App for any number of daily, scheduled runs, they are linked with every other runner signed in and ranked among a live leaderboard. On top of that they get a live trainer coaching them through their run and keeping them up-to-date on their pace, distance, and more.
All of CHARGE Running’s trainers are uniquely-qualified, entertaining and highly- motivating; Levi Kane, for example, is famous for being the fastest 5k amputee on the planet and serves as a personal trainer to the CHARGE runners by providing live motivation, running tips, and live feedback on how each runner is doing.
The result is a unique blend of the intimacy of a boutique fitness class, the sociability of a group run, and the luxury of a personal trainer.
CHARGE runners are finding themselves more motivated, active and social. One anonymous early adopter describes CHARGE as, “Competitive, fun, different, rewarding." Another early user, Anna, said, "I forgot I was ever running! This run made my 25-minute run feel like it was 5 minutes!"
The app can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store. At $9.99 per month, CHARGE subscribers benefit from:
• Unlimited access to classes
• A unique class selection for runners of all levels
• Live feedback from a selection of world-class trainers
• The LIVE Leaderboard, where users can see how they stack up against other runners in real-time
