Once you download the app, you’ll create an account profile. We encourage you to use your real name, add a profile picture, and select as many activities and sports that you are interested in. Once you’ve selected those activities and sports, your main page will be populated with those activities and sports. In each one, you’ll find a people that are near you interested in the same activities and sports you are! This is how we connect folks in real community!

Q.

How do I connect with people in the app?

You can quickly and easily type out your message to folks in that particular activity of sport. Select those you want to receive that message, by clicking on the “+” sign.

Q.

How do I join a group?

A.

One of the coolest features of the FitRec app is the ability to create your own Groups. Groups can be anything from your Run Group, your kickball team, or the folks that you walk with in your neighborhood. Groups can be public or private. By clicking “Near Me,” you can find all sorts of groups in and around you. You can join any public group by clicking on “join.” For private groups, you’ll have to send a request to the captain(s) of that group for their approval. Keep track of the groups that you’re in under “My Groups.”

Q.

What’s the Journey?

A.

The Journey is FitRec’s way of encouraging one another. We encourage the FitRec fam to post up pictures of what’s happening day to day in their active and fit lifestyles. In some other social media platforms, you often get a curated collection of “your best life.” But we want to see our authentic selves in the Journey, so that we can spur each other on. You can post pictures, videos, tag friends, and even create short video stories! You can also easily post, by clicking on the “+” in the Navigation bar. So, get in there and start your fitness journey!
