The 'GymSelfie' app is a mobile application that allows users to visually track their fitness progress. While the idea of taking a selfie at the gym is already a popular activity for many consumers, this app provides a unique way to put those snaps to good use.
The GymSelfie app allows users to snap selfies and then share them with an online community of bodybuilders, gym goers and other fitness professionals. Users can then like, rate or comment on any uploaded photo to share honest feedback and advice. Over time, users can create collages of their gym photos to visually track their progress.
Beyond simply providing a platform for users to trade gym photos, the app also serves as a social networking platform for fitness enthusiasts.
