Guide Review - Weightmania Pro 1.8.5 Fitness Software

After a few tweaks, Weightmania, a software program for tracking exercise and diet, has released a new updated version (1.8.5) which includes all the great features of the previous version along with some great additions. On the home page you'll find a calendar, a summary of workouts and a tabbed menu to enter workouts, meals, measurements, medical, general and photos. For cardio, you can use the new input wizard to choose a previous workout or choose an activity and enter time, distance, speed and a number of other details. For strength training, you enter exercises with weights, reps, sets, etc. as well as rate the difficulty of the workout. You can also use the input wizard here to enter the exercise, weight, reps and sets all at one time rather than individually, which makes recording workouts much easier than before. The meal tracking section has also been updated with an input wizard and the database has been expanded so you'll find more foods and more portion choices. What I've always liked about Weightmania is that you're not limited by the software. You can add exercises and foods, record mutliple workouts a day and keep track of as much detail (or as little) as you like. The updated version has all the great features of previous versions such as charts, graphs and statistics to track every part of your diet and exercise as well as calculators for BMI, calories, body fat and BMR. Over all, the updated version offers an even better user experience.

This software is terrible., Member rhuyen

Their customer service is bad, I have purchased this item twice. Once I couldn't figure out how to use it so I put it away and the software expired. The second time, I couldn't use it, they emailed me another link to down load it and the software still has faults. The user manual I printed up didn't help at all very user unfriendly program. The account service guy Tony sent an email to me threatening me with legal action if I didn't remove my negative remarks on Amazon. I feel that they don't stand behind their product
