I like apple health as a more holistic app but like using MyFitnessPal for more general weight management.

DESTROYS the competition. I am so happy that Virgin Pulse took over the capabilities that Gilsbar was in charge of due to Gilsbar 's lack of user-friendly, up to date, technology.

We enjoyed the mobile experience and the Max device. Some of the competitors didn't have these things.

I really like using MyFitnessPal personally but also am aware of my triggers and how monitoring my weight could turn into unhealthy behavior. I do not recommend it if people are not at that point, but only if folks want to monitor their weight/food intake.

It's well suited for businesses who are looking for a way to approach employee wellness in a fun and fresh manner. It also helps create a little more connection between teams within the business and across other departments.

  • I'd like if the interface was easier to use, it is great the way it is but sometimes it is a little confusing to new users.
