This free iPhone app from Puma helps track your workout, crunching the data into an overall score. The app also helps you figure out conditions that affect your workout, and the scoring system can be motivating.

Effective Monday, the workout center will be called Nautilus Family Fitness. Nautilus Co-owner Shawn Teamann says UFF owners will stay on as minority owners, and that members can look forward to a new facility that is already equipped with a basketball court, indoor pool, sauna and childcare. “It’s going to be good for the community. It’s going to allow all Family Fitness members to use the Nautilus clubs and vice versa, and we’re just really excited about it,” Teamann said. Teamann says they are planning on adding a tanning center and possibly a smoothie bar.

If you liked bicycling as a child, consider indoor cycling.
