An online /email billing service has just been added to OpenFitness.net For Trainers. This allows personal trainers to bill their clients online, and receive payments through their PayPal business account.
This new billing service is included with all OpenFitness.net Trainer accounts at no additional charge. Trainers may use just the online billing, or they can choose to use the billing and online payments. It's completely up to the trainer.
More details about this service are available at:

If online billing/payment for OpenFitness.net becomes as popular as I think it will, I expect we will continue expanding our online offerings for personal trainers.

OpenFitness.net For Trainers Now Available
OpenFitness.net for personal trainers has just been made available. This means personal trainers can now plan and track clients workouts, progress, etc online at www.openfitness.net. A brief description of how it works is...
1) A trainer gets an OpenFitness.net trainer account
2) Clients sign up for a free OpenFitness.net account under their trainer
3) Trainer and client both have access to the client's fitness logs
As part of the trainer license, the personal trainer gets up to 25 licenses for OpenFitness.net that can be distributed to clients. The service runs just under $1/user per month (25 client users + 1 trainer user for $24.99/mo).
In addition, a set of major enhancements to OpenFitness.net is planned for the very near future that will quite possibly transform the way many personal trainers do business. More details about that will be coming soon.

Open Fitness Featured in Flex Mag
We were mentioned in this month's issue of Flex magazine! The article (on page 74) listed Open Fitness as the most technologically advanced fitness tracking system. They also printed a screenshot of Open Fitness' weightlifting journal screen in there.
As far as I know, that's the first time we were mentioned in any fitness publication. We did get a mention in MacHome once, and also in a Japanese magazine a while back (can't remember the name of that one).
Very exciting!

Minor Updates Released
A couple of minor updates have been released in the past couple of weeks for all of our products. I can't remember all of the changes to each product, but here are the basic summaries:
Open Fitness.net
Fixed a bug that was preventing many forum posts and private messages from showing up.
Open Fitness Desktop
I fixed an issue that was preventing email from working for Open Fitness Desktop users.
Open Fitness Mobile Edition
I Added an option to the Help menu called Clear All Tables. The mobile edition has an obscure bug related to HotSyncing, where if you HotSync and install the application in some particular order, and have the desktop software installed, you might get a 'SQL Type Mismatch' error.
I have been able to re-create this error one time, about a year ago...when I wasn't trying to, and not since (which makes fixing it extremely difficult). The bug seems to be related to the development tools I'm using, and the HotSync mechanism I'm using.
Apparently, the HotSync tries to copy workouts between the desktop and palm, before the user has run the palm software at least once (the data tables are properly initialized the first time the app runs...but not before).
Clicking on Clear All Tables wipes out all workout and measurement data on the palm, but forces them to be properly initialized, which gets rid of the SQL error.
