"The company doesn’t only offer a personal trainer service though – you’ll also get access to nutrition information, with your trainer carefully picking your meals and arranging your diet to your own likings. If you enjoy visiting a certain restaurant, it’s no problem either – your trainer will prepare your diet accordingly, making sure to include meals from the places you frequent.--Health Beauty Review |

Eyewitness News"There's a lot of Web sites that help you eat well or get in shape, but there's one site where you can pick your own personal trainer, and the price is right. FitOrbit [is] a new Web site that allows the user to pick a trainer from 17 different countries and across the U.S. with a variety of certifications and specialties. FitOrbit trainers establish a relationship with their clients through texting, e-mails and notes through the Web site.
FitOrbit's dietary component makes it easy to be compliant. There is a food diary, along with a database of more than 3,000 recipes reviewed by dietitians, along with a sister Web site that suggests restaurants for when you are away from home called GoodFoodNearYou.com.
This program could be a real plus for someone who wants a personal trainer and a nutritionist, but can't afford it because having both could cost $800 or more a month. FitOrbit will run you a penny shy of $10 a week, depending on how long you subscribe. Financially, the best bet is six months at $9.99 a week, or 13 weeks for $14.99 weekly."

"We're addicted to our phones. Between texts, e-mails, tweets and IMs, we barely have an unplugged minute for a workout. Luckily, a new service called FitOrbit caters to our twitchy thumbs. The best part? iPhone users can use the "panic alert" function to contact their trainers and up to seven people of your choice during moments of weakness. (I want to eat this whole pizza! I'm exhausted--what home workout can I do?)"Vital Juice |

"Compared to the cost of a real-life trainer, these programs are dirt cheap, but just as good as the "real" thing." |

"The most notable aspect of FitOrbit's service is the genuine desire to connect people with real trainers, essentially removing the computer generated algorithms that power other fitness sites."Mashable |

"All in all, I think the FitOrbit model makes sense in a modern world where people are increasingly growing accustomed to getting what they would usually have to leave the house for and pay a premium for real life interaction over the wire. For those interested in contracting a real life personal trainer, it's definitely worth comparing the costs and effectiveness of FitOrbit to the real deal."TechCrunch |
