Say hello to Google Fit, the company’s take on everything fitness in an increasingly saturated market. Of course, this will be perceived as going head to head with Apple’s own health ecosystem it is building, but for now android users can have their own fitness ecosystem to call home.
Google Fit comes in both an app as well as a web-based dashboard where you can add your personal information, height, weight, etc and view your fitness information. The android app will use your phone to track distance walked as well as your cycling and running activity, which it already collects thanks to Google Maps continuously tracking your whereabouts. The application will also pull in data from third party devices.
It’s pretty basic at the moment but knowing Google, expect some aggressive developments soon.
