The WFHN is designed to be a simple yet effective one-stop online solution for today’s consumers. Studies show that people thrive in environments where they are able to set goals and regularly track their progress. Further findings show that those using pedometers were 26.9% more active with an average increase of 2800 to 3000 steps per day over those who did not use a pedometer.

Users are given WalkFitHealth’s patented, state-of-the-art Mini-Pedometer (MiniPed) that clips right onto their shoe and gives them a monitoring capability through wireless connectivity. Each user receives their very own personalized web-page where the data from their daily walking activities (steps taken, calories burned, active time, distance traveled, etc.) are recorded, instantly uploaded and viewable on each members personal page. Once they personalize their profile, users are able to add friends, set personal goals, be apart of communities, communicate with friends, and enjoy informative content.
