FitOrbit - The Leading Enterprise Platform for Online Fitness - Rated #1 by TopTenReviews.com

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FitOrbit, founded by Jake "Body by Jake" Steinfeld, today announced that it was chosen by TopTenReviews.com – the trusted source for online recommendations – as the single best online fitness service available.

FitOrbit provides employers who are committed to the wellness and productivity of their employees a unique opportunity to succeed in that mission. The program enables employees to get fit, stay active, and lose weight. FitOrbit is independently verified to help average adults lose 1.3 lb/week.

The FitOrbit platform delivers a seamlessly integrated, personal end-to-end web and mobile experience – with a certified personal trainer at the center of the relationship – to those employees looking to take off pounds, gain strength, recover from injuries and more; the full range of fitness and wellness needs.

Anthem Blue Cross (Anthem) represents a powerful proof-of-concept; FitOrbit is available for all Anthem-insured employer groups to offer to their employees. Thanks to employers like Anthem, the growth curve of FitOrbit has been dramatic. In just four months, employers covering more than 26,000 employees have made FitOrbit available to their teams.

"FitOrbit is a great wellness partner for Anthem Blue Cross," said Pam Kehaly, west region president for Anthem Blue Cross. "I've worked with many programs over the years, but the combination of a live trainer interaction and the proven results set FitOrbit apart from the rest."

TopTenReviews.com analyzed 10 firms – including Biggest Loser Club, Jillian Michaels Site and DailyBurn – using a rigorous and exhaustive methodology that included more than seven different categories; exercise features, motivation and support, special workout routines, exercise type, diet plans, and the all-important metric of "overall credibility."

In addition, there were more than 50 sub-categories that were subject to deeper analysis, examining everything from direct trainer contact, to customization, to the ability to substitute meals and choose specific restaurant items based on your own plan.
