Fitster

Hello, Product Hunters! Today I want to share my latest discovery- Fitster! My typical work day consists of long hours by the computer sometimes with minimal movements. Yes, I know, it is unhealthy! Our boss shares the same sentiments, which is why he has done some research to make our work environment healthier and found Fitster. Fitster is a desktop app that reduces the negative effects of sedentary work. The app is created in cooperation with physiotherapists specifically for use in an office environment. The app offers a lot of different exercises that is really easy to do in office. Grab your chair or books that have been lying on the book shelf for ages and follow the instructions on the app. At first it looked funny that every few hours all our office staff were exercising by the computer, but after few days we started to feel the impact. I felt more energized after knocking off from work. The desktop app has numerous features like multiple workout groups to choose from, custom workout interval selection etc. One cool feature the app has is the Custom Smart Timer to accommodate different work schedules, because every day is different and I like that the app can adapt to that. And of course I can’t forget about nice illustrations in the app. You can try out Fitster free 14 day trial! See and try it for yourself how Fitster can make your day more energized! Cheers! :)

Looks interesting. Just a few things that look odd to me, the site appears to be essentially a one-page landing style site, that only has two download buttons and right above those buttons it says, "14-day free trial" but has nowhere on the page or in the little footer area about "pricing" Also, there is not equal spacing between the footer link | columns | which when a page is just one page with no scrolling really can stand out to people, it would look a lot cleaner if just a few tweaks were made. Also, there isn't a price listed anywhere. I don't like to download something online unless I can at least see some more about it, a video, tutorial, walkthrough, or something along the lines of helping me understand it a little more. They have a FAQ section, that actually has the price that I finally was able to find, but it is under a very strange question: "Is Fitster optimized for a home environment?" which then says, "You can choose a monthly plan (€ 0.99) a yearly plan (€ 9.99) or a lifetime plan (€ 29.99). A Fitster “Lifetime” plan allows you to access a Fitster application to help you live better at work throughout your life. This is the easiest option, as it means you don’t have to pay every month. If you wish to start on a yearly or monthly plan and upgrade, you can upgrade at any time." This doesn't even answer the question if it is good for a home environment, which is just more inconsistencies for a simple page to have. It makes me leery of even downloading the application because of them trying to hide the paywall and other elements that should be looked at if they want to appeal to the professional world of business people that want to try to live a healthier lifestyle. --- Also, on the homepage it says that it is "Sponsored by Cred24, which was built or is owned by TiimLtd" So are you the company, Maker, Alinia or is your company just paying for the sponsorship to be on the footer of their site/landing page?

look funny.

I needed this in my life!
