Fired Up on Fitness: Social Networking Tool FitFiend.com Connects Fitness Fanatics with Experts

New York, NY, June 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- FitFiend.com, the fastest growing social networking community catering to the fitness Fiend in all of us, announces their official public beta launch scheduled for June 17th, 2008.

Unlike other fitness communities, FitFiend.com provides a free platform for fitness professionals and fitness enthusiasts to connect with each and explore the world of health and fitness.

Pros can promote themselves and their services. FitFiends can search for workout partners and trainers in their area, get fitness and nutritional tips, watch original fitness programming, read about the latest in workout trends, and more.

“It’s time to give social networking a healthy makeover while getting consumers engaged in a space with other like-minded individuals,” says founder and CEO, Vik Panda. “Our goal is to provide a fully integrated site that adds value to our consumers’ lives, whether they are just beginning on their path to a fitter lifestyle or they are already hardcore fitness fiends.”

Not only does FitFiend.com provide users with the motivation to move forward with their fitness, it also provides fitness professionals with a tool to build their business, and communicate with current and prospective clients. For fitness professionals, FitFiend.com will be the standard for promoting their businesses and personal brands.

“Training celebrities and running my own gym doesn’t always allow me time to do what I love most; connect with the fitness consumer,” says Clay Burwell, founder of High Performance NYC, one of Men’s Journal’s ‘Top 100 Trainers in America,’ and head trainer for Bravo’s Make Me A Supermodel. “FitFiend puts me in direct contact with this community, allowing me to share my expertise, promote events and appearances, and more.”
