We freely admit that there's a heavy skew toward weightlifting on the site at the moment, but we're focusing on adding more quests/achievements around cardio and other activities quite shortly.
2) Easy fix: Allow users to set which equipment they have when they first log on. Do it by classes: calisthenics only, bands and dumbbells, home gym, full gym etc etc. This way you can normalize the quests across different classes of equipment and eventually set up for competitions (random battle?!?! lol) between people with different classes of equipment but similar fitness levels according to whatever benchmarks you set.
All in all, looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Good luck!
Everybody always wants cardio. I think because that is what most people do. But that isn't going to make you fit by any useful definition of the word.
And believe me, I'm in agreement with you about cardio. It's pretty worthless in many cases :)
i'd love to go to the workout with my cellphone and a pre-typed program for the day, and just fill in the repetitions and weight i actually did.
this way it's just another facebook for gym rats. no added value that updating my facebook didn't give already
All of my running friends already post daily to their facebook status how many miles they've run that day.
