FitnessKeeper
Boston, MA

FitnessKeeper is the creator of RunKeeper, one of the most popular fitness-related applications for the Apple iPhone 3G. The software uses the iPhone’s built-in GPS chip to enable runners, cyclists, hikers, and walkers to track their outdoor fitness activities including duration, distance, pace, speed, and path travelled on a map. Users can see all of the routes for the activities they’ve track by logging into their personal Web dashboard at www.runkeeper.com. The latest version of the software includes audio cues that tell the user how far they’ve gone or how long they’ve been traveling without forcing them to look at the display. Full tutorial here.
