Tech + Fitness = ...

Level up in Fitocracy and  level up in real life!

That might be the most awesome tag line I have ever heard. I thought Fitocracy was a joke when the guys in the lab next door were telling me about it, then I looked it up... legit?!? And, seeing as they were all suddenly really excited about exercising and asking me about running sneakers and compression socks... well, I do believe that Fitocracy has managed the impossible! So, what is this magical new training tool? Wait for it, wait for it...

A fitness website where you earn points, the ability to level-up, and badges for exercising. Basically, it turns exercise into a computer game. It also has a whole social networking aspect, allowing users to interact with friends, share regimens, points-earned on social networks, get advice from others in various forums, etc. WOW!
