Fitocracy, Anyone?

[NukeTheUnicorns]

Hey folks! Been a while since I've posted here, hope everyone's been doing well.

I saw a thread for this in the Weight Loss forum, but I figured I'd take a stab at getting a general thread going for it.

Is anyone here playing Fitocracy? For those who aren't familiar with it, it's essentially a website that turns fitness into a real life RPG, which I figured would be perfect for the NF folks. You create an account, log your workouts and get points for doing so, allowing you to level up and unlock quests and achievements based on what you have accomplished so far. It's super fun, and the library of exercises is pretty well stocked.

My profile is pretty lonely (one follower), and some competition might be fun...who's game?

Can you send me an invite? That sounds really fun.

Indeed, it sounds very similar to what we were trying to achieve with OMFG. I, too, would be interested in participating. I assume it's currently in Beta, as it's not yet open to the public?

I am on it as kahn265

Check out this thread about it -> http://nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?3043-Fitocracy-Social-Fitness-Tracker&highlight=fitocracy

I've not logged there yet because it doesn't seem to like IE8 (what my system at work has) and a number of things I do aren't up there yet.

[Speedy]

Yes, I found your post with the open Beta sign up link. Am on there now.

oh weird, sorry guys, didn't know it was invite only! I assume I still have invites if anyone is interested in signing up!

[NukeTheUnicorns]

thanks nuke the unicorns. finally got the link to work. YAY! Looks really fun. Feel free to add me, I'm Silence on there just like on here. and if anyone needs invites let me know

Alr - I had trouble with that too. Switching browsers seemed to help. So far it's running best on firefox for me.

I just joined recently. I like it but I think it needs more to it before I'm completely sold on it (more variety of achievements/quests, exercise database that includes photos/videos/explanations, etc.)

[NukeTheUnicorns]

I'm sure they'll expand on it, I think they're still in beta. I'm really digging it.

Just signed up too, looks pretty good! If it isn't working in Internet Explorer and you're able to, get hold of Google Chrome or Firefox - you'll find the internet much more fun.

Quick questions, are people logging their warm up sets or only their workout sets when it comes to weights lifted?

I joined it the other day and it seems interesting. Joined up with the Nerd Fitness Rebel Army over there too. I'll log with it for a little while to see how it goes.
