Striiv is a personal trainer in your pocket. Its a little car key sized device that you slip onto your key chain, belt, purse, or pocket. Striiv's walkathon, games, and challenges are designed to get you moving.
Finding time to go to the gym is tough and spending $100 an hour for a personal trainer is way too expensive. The great food we eat during the holidays makes keeping off the weight seem impossible. There is a simple solution: walking. In addition to the benefits of weight loss, leading studies show that walking 30 minutes a day dramatically reduces risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Striiv Gets You to Walk...A Lot!
The average Striiv user is walking 3 miles a day for 60 minutes - that's almost double the national average! Striiv was designed by expert game developers who created some of the most popular games on the iPhone and Facebook today. It has been featured in the O list (Oprah magazine), ABC News, Time, USA Today, Self, and Prevention Magazine.
Striiv's secret to motivation is simple: we build highly addictive applications that require walking to make progress. The walkathon takes your steps and applies them to helping others. At no cost to you, Striiv and corporate partners donate on your behalf. Just walk, earn, and plug into your PC or Mac to donate. Striiv also gives you "awards" while you walk that are based on real world achievements (such as burning off a large fries or climbing the Eiffel Tower). Striiv's personalized charts will show you how you are doing against your personal best as well as the national average.
Striiv was designed to be simple and easy to use. The large 2 inch high-resolution touch screen clearly displays steps, stairs, calories and distance. It comes with everything you need: Striiv, keychain attachment, USB cable, adaptor, and a quickstart guide. Get Striiv and give the gift of health and fitness to yourself or someone you love today!
Just like hiring a personal trainer, Striiv motivates you to achieve results by encouraging you to get moving and rewarding you for doing so. Unlike a personal trainer, it doesn't cost $100 a session and you won't be sweating through a painful workout. But you will see results, because walking is one of the most beneficial workouts you can do and can be transformative to your health and fitness. Using Striiv is addictive--and was designed to be that way. Because each experience is powered by your activity, it's fun to achieve your fitness goals.
The More You Move, the More You Give
Striiv believes helping others is core to improving yourself. That's why the company created a walkathon in every Striiv device that counts your steps and gives to a preferred charity based on your movement. At no cost to you, Striiv and corporate partners donate on your behalf. Just walk, earn, and plug into your PC to donate. It's that simple. You have the choice of three charities; providing clean water to families in South America, polio vaccines, or helping to save the rainforest. The more you walk, the more you give. It couldn't be easier.
Walking Can Change Your Life Finding time to go to the gym is tough and spending $100 an hour for a personal trainer is way too expensive.

This review is from: Striiv: Personal Trainer in Your Pocket (Sports) I gave this to my wife on Christmas Eve and she LOVES IT! She had been using a Polar Training Watch and had been doing heavy elliptical work (6-7 hours per week), but had gotten off her training program and was dreading starting again.Bought her this because she really likes graphic feedback and goals. She started playing with it while people were over and is delighted with the trophies, video game style feedback, loves developing her island, animals and gardens. It did the trick and made it fun for her to get active and moving. She's doing little up and down the step routines because of the rewards. She laughs out loud with delight when she gets new and unexpected items on her island. I hope the incentives continue to work for her, but it's been well worth the price to get her active and enjoying exercising again. Just got back from taking a long walk around the neighborhood at her suggestion. Technical thoughts. We agree that the Striiv has done a great job of...

This review is from: Striiv: Personal Trainer in Your Pocket (Sports) I bought one in November 2011 and loved it. I was walking over 10,000 steps a day. I was driving my husband and son crazy walking back an forth threw the house and around circles around the kitchen island. It lasted 10 days. It stopped counting my steps and then the screen went black. I turned it back on a it wiped out all my saved data, all the trophies, the two donated glasses of water that I didnt get around to downloading, everything. I sent it back and purchased another one along with the fitbit. I started them both on December 6th 2011. The fitbit was great to track sleeping patterns and the striiv was great for motavation. The fitbit is still going but the Striiv died Dec 27th 2011, not even a month. The screen locked up on achievments. Ive plugged it in to the outlet to recharge it. Ive tried to turn it off. I plugged it in to the computer and the computer isnt reading it. Im going to try to let it run completely out of power and see if that will unlock it but I will probably...

This review is from: Striiv: Personal Trainer in Your Pocket (Sports) I gave this to my wife for Christmas and she has been enjoying it, but today (10 uses) half way through her morning walk it locked up and stopped counting steps. I tried going through all the setting to no avail. I shook it gently for a minute and it started working again. Later it locked up again which again was resolved by shaking it a while. I suspect it may have been static from the wool sweater she was wearing; time will tell.We both like the charitable contribution feature. I wish it would have software on the PC that would capture and display the data. I did some unscientific testing for accuracy. 100 steps walking with it in my sweat pants pocket registered 106. 100 steps walking with it in my jacket pocket registered 107. 100 steps walking with it hanging from my jacket zipper registered 100. 200 steps jogging with it hanging from my jacket zipper registered 171. 100 steps jogging with it in my sweat pants...
