MapMyFITNESS, one of the fastest-growing online health and fitness communities, launched a fitness app for Facebook Timeline. The integration enables people to personalize their Facebook Timeline by sharing their fitness activities with friends.

“We’re always seeking innovative ways to enable our six million members to express themselves through fitness”

The new Timeline integration provides users with an easy means to post their personal fitness accomplishments, favorite routes, workouts and nutrition log to their Facebook Timeline, promoting social accountability. MapMyRUN, MapMyRIDE, MapMyFITNESS, MapMyWALK, MapMyHIKE and MapMyTRI will all integrate with Timeline.

“We’re always seeking innovative ways to enable our six million members to express themselves through fitness,” said Richard Jalichandra, CEO of MapMyFITNESS. “Our members are fanatical about sharing their accomplishments on Facebook. We are thrilled to provide a new, more personalized experience that features deeper sharing of fitness achievements.”

Previously, members of the MapMyFITNESS community could share a variety of content with their friends on Facebook, ranging from favorite routes to posts notifying friends to “Live Track” them out on the road via mobile devices. MapMyFITNESS continues to be the leader in making fitness a social activity by empowering users to take pride in their personal achievements and stay motivated with their loved ones.
