What is this?
Hello, my name is Jeff and roughly a year ago I discovered within myself an infatuation for keeping my body fit and healthy. Since then, I've scoured the Internet looking for communities and groups of other people with similar interests and have found very little. Most of what poses as sites for fitness minded people are usually front ends for businesses attempting to sell to the fitness minded (or, more likely, to the unfit and struggling) products or services. I even checked upon the availability of the hostname, "fitnesscommunity.com" and found it to just be a front end for a pay search engine; i.e., someone trying to get rich just by having "fitness" and "community" in their URL in hopes of finding people who will unwittingly type it, or perhaps they registered an expired domain in the hopes of stealing already established bookmarks.Second, although the intentions of the site will not be centered in any way around profit, I intend to link as an affiliate advertiser to health and/or fitness related products which can be purchased over the Internet in order help, hopefully, to cover some the costs of building and maintaining a worthwhile website.
Third, my hope is to be able to create within the site itself a sort of "training log" for those who are interested so that they may log and graph their progression toward their goals over time.Fourth, last, and most importantly, I am hoping that, with the help of the site's members, we will be able to create an environment within which the people here will be able to find other people who are "of like mind" and may enjoy some new and productive friendships which will, hopefully, grow past the website and into "real life".
If you think that you may be interested in such a community, and especially if you have some idea in your mind about what would make such a hypothetical community worthwhile, please join the bulletin board and say "Hello".
