Many people set goals for themselves every year. Unfortunately, many of those individuals do not achieve their goals. Sometimes, life gets in the way and it becomes easy to fall off track. Fitango was created to help individuals come up with a solid plan of action and stick with it. The concept is simple and can assist many people in achieving their goals. The user can create a plan or browse for one created by an expert. Users can also converse with Fitango experts to get answers to questions related to their plan. The site offers additional user interaction in two ways. Users can invite others to be their motivators. When a user agrees to be a motivator, a progress bar appears on their profile for the other user. They can leave encouraging comments and commend the user for each small success. The other way is through collaborative plans. Multiple individuals can work on a plan together, such as a plan to take a group trip to an exotic location.
Fitango was founded in 2009. Based out of New York City, New York, the Fitango team consists of just over ten individuals, including CEO Dov Biran, CMO Tomy Shoenfeld, and Vice President of Business Development Parinda Muley. Fitango was constructed to provide users with a social marketing site that allowed users to improve themselves through plans, motivation, and expert advice.
Fitango provides users with a better way to see their goals through. Often times the main problem with meeting goals is insufficient planning. Fitango presents users with a long list of available plans that cover everything from fitness goals to financial or travel planning. Users can modify their chosen plan or follow it to the letter. Fitango also provides users with access to experts to gain advice about the plans they are using.
The Fitango website uses an attractive blue and green color scheme and a professional design. Users will be pleased by the clutter free style of the site and easy navigation. Following plan progress is very easy. The site uses status bars and scoring to help users see where they currently stand as far as progress on their goal.
A new Fitango visitor can begin account creation by clicking on the green “Get Started Now” button found along the left side of the homepage. At the top of the registration form, users can find a blue button that allows them to register through an existing Facebook membership if they prefer to do so. This is not a requirement and just below the user can find the registration form. The form asks for a first and last name, email address, password, date of birth and gender. The user can also select a time zone. The site suggests a time zone it thinks that the user is in. By clicking the blue “Change” link, the user can correct it if necessary. The last step is to check the terms of use and privacy policy check box before clicking the blue “Go Fitango!” button at the bottom of the form. The following page requires a Captcha code entry to finish registration.
Creating a Fitango account is free for all users. There are no subscription fees or set up fees required. The user must find plans available through the Fitango plan store. A few of these are available for free, however not all of them are. The user can browse category listings including health, spirituality and religion, parenting and family, careers, holidays, money and more. Each is priced differently so in order to determine the cost of Fitango, the user must first select a plan that fits their needs. The average price of Fitango plans seems to hover around $5 or $6, with some plans closer to $10.
Anyone can benefit from using Fitango. Since there is such a diverse collection of plans available, Fitango covers just about anyone. If an individual has a goal, they can find a way to meet it through Fitango.
