    Fitocracy

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     SnodV says she joined Fitocracy because she wanted to be more athletic. 'I wanted to be fit. I was never the sporty fit person, but I decided that I'm in my forties and I was going to be fit,' she says. She also adds that Fitocracy is not just an app, but a social network site that motivates her to reach her fitness goals while also contributing to her general well-being.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    I joined Fitocracy about a month ago, 2 weeks after I started a running program. The people around me are already fit and no one would really take me under their wing. But my dear and very fit friend Laurie, who happens to live very far away in New Jersey (I'm in Montreal, Canada) was raving about keeping track of her workouts on Fitocracy and sent me an invite.
    Now I keep track of my workouts and she, and other friends far and wide (notably Rob and Deanna in Washington), cheer me on, keep me going and encourage me.
    Today, i ran 2 miles in 25 minutes. And the Fitocracy crowd cheered me on.
    I have gotten a trainer and got HIM to join fitocacry, so now he keeps track on the days we don't meet.
