"As a fitness expert in NYC, there is more demand for my time than there are hours in my day," says Fitness Guru, Eric Von Frohlich. "Fitizens.com allows me to reach a larger segment of the fitness community than would otherwise have access to me." Fitness Experts use the Postings Areas and Q&A area to address very specialized fitness information, often in real time.
"Fitizens.com allows me to have a dialog with fitness experts. Instead of reading someone else's question in a magazine, I can ask my own and get a quick answer from a host of fitness experts," says Rachelle Berkman, fitness enthusiast.
Fitness enthusiasts like Rachelle can sign up to become members of the site for free, with access to local classes and events, rich media information, and opportunities to learn from and connect to a growing community of renowned fitness experts.
