It's still been less than one month since we began our pre-launch for businesses and trainers to join Workout Spots and begin using our software; it's even been less than 2 weeks since our public launch. With that in mind, it's even more exciting to know that today we've surpassed 5,000 classes in our system.

As midnight neared, and the caffeine began to wear off, as it unfortunately always does, we had a dash of inspiration. Something with our design has been bugging us - and a handful of you. Some have said that our design was rather unpleasant, ugly, and even unfriendly. Hard to argue.. it was pretty brutal. Well, that's what happens when you rush the application out the door. We wanted to get up as soon as possible, and get businesses on here - so we settled with rough draft #1.

Today proved to be another perfect example of a point that has been stressed on a number of past posts. Our primary goal is not only continually improving our platform, but we want to work closely with business owners to craft this application based on their needs. Feedback is key, and the more we get the more posts like this can be made. We don't own a fitness organization. But you do, so we want all of you to play an active role in the development of Workout Spots.

Just a quick update about an important new feature - late last night, we released a change to our class registration system. Most member-based websites require you to verify your email by clicking a link in an email sent to you after registering, before you can even log in. I find that incredibly annoying - so, we don't require that step when registering here. It does have its purpose though, which is to prevent people from creating multiple accounts and to (attempt) to prevent system spam or abuse.
