About Athlo

Athlo’s mission is to become the number one online athletic social networking site. We have noticed the sophistication level of features offered by current athletic market leaders do not meet the same standards expected by the rest of the social networking community. We have also observed a slew of athletic social networking sites that offer little more than profiles with picture uploading and messaging. We think there is a need for quality tools that fit the active lifestyle of our users.

Motivation

Training partners, active friends and athletic groups are a big factor in what drives many people to work out or simply do something they would not otherwise do. Plenty of people find the motivation to train or exercise on their own, but for those who need a reminder or small nudge in that direction, Athlo provides the tools and means necessary to do so. Your home page will show you which friends and groups are active and who is getting a little lazy. It also lets you know what’s coming up on your training calendar.

Training Calendar

One of the cornerstone features Athlo offers is the training calendar. The user-friendly drag and drop ability makes planning a workout or saving and reusing a favorite workout quick and easy. The training calendar color codes your activities so you can see which are complete, planned, overdue and whether or not you or a group you belong to planned them. The training plan generator is fully integrated with the calendar and when you create an Athlo training plan, it automatically populates the workouts on your calendar. This feature is also great for coaches, teams, groups and clubs who plan activities for multiple people or want to track the activities of one or more people.  

Training Plan Generator

Another major feature from Athlo is a tool that creates fully customizable, dynamic training plans. While we currently only offer plans for the marathon distance, the 5K, 10K and Half Marathon training plan generators are coming soon! Unlike many other sites on the net, these plans are completely free. You can create, save and print a plan without having to be a registered user. Best of all, your plan changes and progresses along with your training. We understand that people get sick, go on vacation or sometimes just do not feel like going for a run. That is okay because your plan takes your actual performance into account and gets you back on track to achieve your original goal. Or, you can change your goal to anything you want. It is completely up to you. Did we mention you don’t even have to register with Athlo to use this feature?

Share and Search for Training Plans and Workouts

One of the many great tools coming soon will be the ability to share your training plan with friends, groups and other registered users. You will also be able to search an extensive data base of training plans and workouts created by other users and make them your own. You can modify or customize the plan however you want and then share it again to whoever you want.  

Athlo Blog

We maintain an active blog to keep users up-to-date on site development, athletic research, Athlo events and news, nutrition and a number of other topics related to a healthy lifestyle. We have enlisted the help of a licensed athletic trainer and certified chef to contribute regularly. If you are an expert or trained in a medical, sports, nutrition, or health field and interested in contributing to the blog please contact us. Even if you’re not an expert but still interested in contributing, we would love to hear from you. The blog is also a great way for you to provide us feedback and suggestions on how to improve the site.
