The booming online fitness community adds a new dimension to the concept of "group fitness."

What else can you find on online fitness communities? Calorie counters, heart rate/exertion tracking tools, training schedules and descriptions of specific exercises to target trouble spots.

Take advantage of the expertise and experience of FitFiend.com members to help you choose workout apparel, equipment such as bikes and shoes, accessories such as watches, sunglasses or heart rate monitors, and other gear.
Online fitness communities like FitFiend.com make it easy to meet up with people in your area for a group workout or to train for an upcoming event. Of course, the same common sense applies when seeking fitness information online as anywhere else:
.Guard your identity. Don't give any financial information unless you are making a purchase or signing up for an event through a reputable organization that guarantees your security..Don't give strangers too much personal information. Don't give out your last name or any important or identifying characteristics. If posting queries on message boards or providing answers to others based on your own expertise, there is no need to reveal personal details that aren't related to the fitness question.
