FitOrbit Develops First 'Smart' USDA Food Logging System

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FitOrbit announced today the launch of their all new FitOrbit 2.0, with a radically simplified way for consumers to interact with the USDA foods database as they track their meals. FitOrbit, launched two years ago, is the first-of-its-kind solution that provides a real, certified personal trainer to its members with a one-on-one, proven-effective training and nutrition plan over the internet, all for less than ten dollars a week.  The all new FitOrbit 2.0 now offers even more intuitive features that further enhance the relationship between client and trainer.

The new "smart" USDA food logging database makes it simple and easy for FitOrbit members to track their food and calorie consumption in a user-friendly format.  This smart foods innovation logs "green beans" as is.  Previously, the USDA database required users to enter multiple variations of "beans, green, canned, in water."  This solution pioneered by FitOrbit is the key to ease of use which allows real people to achieve real success.

Using feedback from their 10,000 current clients, FitOrbit 2.0 has also revolutionized multiple aspects of its users' online experience, including a redesigned mobile App that makes on-the-go accessibility to FitOrbit's trainers and personal plans faster and more convenient.  Additionally, there are newly revamped communications tools that allow state-of-the-art web and mobile user-to-trainer contact as well as an updated user interface that simplifies logging with FitOrbit's Progress Tracker, which monitors weight loss, calorie and water intake, exercises, and sleep.

"The keys to a successful personal trainer are being able to motivate and inspire clients by listening to their needs and giving them the tools to achieve real results.  Since its launch, FitOrbit has enabled our trainers to change people's lives worldwide.  Our 2.0 version includes newly invented 'true-to-life' tools in a warm, friendly and intuitive user interface.  Weight loss success with personal training has never been easier, more affordable or, most importantly, more effective," says Jake Steinfeld, Chairman of Body by Jake Global and FitOrbit Founder and Chairman.  Jake Steinfeld is the fitness industry visionary who is credited as making personal fitness training an industry.
