Hi all! New to the fitness scene and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Samsung GearFit 2 Pro? if so I would love to hear some feedback before I invest, thanks in advance!
I recently discovered activity.club app for people who have different fitness devices to connect in one place. My sister is on Apple watch and another friend is on Motorola. Now we can see each other's progress!

I am looking for some advice, I want to buy a treadmill and wondering what kind to buy. Does anyone on here own a treadmill & how do you like it? What name brand, make & model is it? I really miss jogging and -30 is too cold for me, plus I am afraid of falling on the frozen tundra....... Thanks!!!
Anyone ever used the FatTrack Gold Digital Body Fat Caliper? Is it hard to use and get consistent results?
I'm not a fitness expert or even a serious weight lifter. I just want to be able to track progress in reducing body fat (which I'm sure, despite my healthy BMI, is still in the "oh crud, are you kidding me?!" range).
I've read that calipers are the way to go over a scale that gives body composition, but the scale sure seems like it would be easier. Looking for reviews on calipers vs scales or whatever other advice you can give.

I really want a health tracker. I've been waiting for the new Fitbit to come out, but I'm not sure whether to buy the Fitbit Charge now or wait until early next year for the Fitbit Charge HR. Do you think the heart rate monitor is worth waiting for?
I picked up a Jarv Run BT - Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor from amazon over the weekend and tried it out today. It was only slightly noticeable during parts of my 6.4 mile walk today but never uncomfortable. It's not even visible under a loose fitting polyester gym shirt. It synced up to MapMyWalk with no issues and it let me see my heart rate in real time at any time. Very easy to set up and "install" before heading out. I think this is going to track my calories burned during walks, hikes and rides very accurately and very affordably.

Has anyone linked their scale to the site? I weigh everyday to keep on track. My weight fluctuates with water gain from exercise, salty restaurant meals and other things. I can gain and lose several pounds a week, with the average line going down overall. I'm curious if it's better to keep that to myself and manually input once a week or let the scale report all the readings. Thoughts?

Bought the FitBit One, because it tracks stair climbing. I love all the charts and graphs on FitBit's site and app. I don't even notice it's on me tracking calories burned throughout the day. I took it on a hike through the Rickett's Glen Waterfall trail and climbed 1048 feet in an 8 mile hike. Fitbit logged this as 133 flights of stairs. I felt it in my calves and shins for 2 days after the hike but I loved every minute of it. There are badges/achievements for various milestones like 10,000 steps in a day, 50 miles total, etc. I got up to the 125 Floors climbed. Next time I go there, I'll have to loop back a bit and get the badge for 150 floors.
Just bought a Jawbone Up24 from Amazon. See someone at work with an Up on his wrist. Thought I would try it out. Plus I joined a bet, so I can be held accountable to use it also.

I bought a jawbone UP and then the Misfit Shine.
I like the misfit shine because you don't have to plug it in to charge it. And the misfit shine shows if you are close to your goal for the day and it also tells time.
