Fitness app announces that AccuWeather users will be driven to FlexIt facilities based on city-specific weather conditions
New York City – January 22, 2019 – FlexIt – the mobile-based solution that allows users to only pay for the gym time they use – announces its partnership with AccuWeather. Through this partnership, AccuWeather users will be encouraged to use various FlexIt fitness facilities based on the weather conditions in their area. For example, users will receive notifications when in proximity of facilities with outdoor pools during sunny days, or facilities with indoor cardio setups when it is raining.
FlexIt gives consumers the freedom to choose where and when they work out, providing a personalized fitness experience in which there is no upfront cost and the users only pay for the time they spend in the facility. FlexIt’s app and platform is live in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Phoenix, with more than a dozen additional markets coming soon. FlexIt’s line-up of partner fitness locations currently includes large national players, such as Retro Fitness and Youfit Health Clubs, as well as large regional players, such as Charter Fitness, among many others.
“We are so excited to bring flexible fitness to AccuWeather users,” said Austin Cohen, founder and CEO of FlexIt. “Through this partnership, AccuWeather users are given fitness options that fit their needs. When it’s rainy or cold, users will be directed to facilities ideal for indoor training, and when it’s warm out they will be directed to facilities with pools and outdoor amenities – this brings a new level of customization to the fitness market.”
AccuWeather provides minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour forecasts with customized content and engaging video presentations. The AccuWeather apps for both iOS and Android provide the most accurate and actionable weather forecasts and warnings in an innovative and advanced mobile experience which is personalized to each individual user.
