One thing that has always annoyed me in the past, as someone who has been a member of many sites, is when there isn't total transparency from the people running the site with the people using the site.

I'm going to try my best not to let that happen with you guys, and let you know exactly what's going on with this site, what our goals are, and what's going on in general.

First, thanks to you, we've had a great start. Without any payed advertising, with the help of fitness bloggers and word of mouth, we've already hit 80 members. Not bad.

But we still have a ways to go to reach our goal of being the #1 community based fitness site on the planet.

In the next couple of weeks, we're going to make the push to hit 200 members. And we're going to need your help.

When a big company makes a push for something, they can spend millions, and sometimes billions of dollars on advertising.

We can't.

Our only asset is members who care and want to spread the word about fitness and health. Tell your friends about the site, link relevant articles in forums that allow it, tweet it, facebook it, spread the word, mention the contest.

Get the word out there.

Meanwhile, here are a few additions that have been made to the site:

1) A few of you suggested that more forum topics be added, and we've done just that.

2) We've added a guide to using the site (with screen shots).
This is highly recommended. Even if you already know how to use the site pretty well, there might be a few features you missed and I'd definitely check this out.

3) Latest Articles has been added on the sidebar.

4) The about page has been changed.

And of course, the article submissions contest is still going on. It ends October 14th so make sure to post your submissions.

Let's put this site into overdrive.
