Create Custom Integrations with Fitness Apps

Formsite’s integrations let form owners send new submissions to other online services. Organizations in the fitness industry can use Formsite forms to create custom fitness apps with online forms. Use online forms for tracking progress, running contests, or completing scheduled levels.

Examples include:

• Personal training
• Weight-loss programs
• Physical fitness contests
• Virtual competitions
• Martial arts levels
• Coaching

Use Formsite to collect individual contact information and record progress updates. Then send the updates to one of the connected fitness services using Formsite’s integrations. Use the built-in Notifications to send emails or text messages for even more personalized options.

Fitness App Features

Online fitness services allow users to create and update their profiles with personal information. These services include features and actions like:

• Add a new workout
• Send program invitation
• Add activity and amount or time
• Create meal plan
• Share status

Some examples of fitness services working with online forms are:

1. Personal trainer uses her Formsite form to collect daily workout numbers from her clients. She receives instant Notification emails with messages, then replies with coaching advice. Custom Results Reports show charts with client growth over time.
2. School track team uses Formsite forms to post event results for students and parents. Each event coach and athletes use the integration for local and regional placement.
3. Local gym offers members customized meal plans for weight loss and other lifestyle amendments. Combined with fitness integrations, Scheduled Exports, and Results Reports, members stay connected with other members and coaches.
