Emergence and progress of Actifit

There has been a significant amount of media attention provided to Leofinance and so there should be. We're all sitting back watching a community that will possibly take Hive Block Chain to an all new level. After all Cryptocurrancy and Finance is a global discussion point. We all want the latest news and information so that we can make the best possible informed decision that will allow us to grow our own personal nest egg. But I want to talk about another community that has just taken another significant step in the right direction and has been moving along a great pace. @actifit if you're not across it yet is an rewards based Dapp that rewards users for exercising. Sounds pretty good right? Bust out a workout and get paid in crypto. There's a bit more to it and I'd recommend researching the community yourselves. As you can tell from my display picture I'm a bit of a fitness fanatic, no where at the level I used to be as I used to compete in Marathons, part of a University Team competing all around the state at different events. I aged out or more hit mid age and now have kids to raise. So I've hit up body building, nothing to intence but I like to live as healthy as possible lifestyle. Actifit has a dapp available for dl on the Android and I think IPhone app store which allows users to post once a day and be rewarded in an upvote and afit tokens. Previously these tokens were used to book sessions with nutritionists, personal trainers and purchase inapp items to increase your rewards. However, I think the important thing to note that it has just launched is it's inclusion of fitness equipment. AT the moment the dapp has resistance bands but are increasing their stock and will move into building their stock inventory. ## **Why am I excited?**

So why am I excited? A few reasons, first of all I am always on the hunt for more gym equipment and in Victoria, Australia there was a shortage of gym equipment during lockdown as Aussie sold out gym stores across the country. We were heading into an unknown period of lockdown. With days/weeks/months unknowing when we would see freedom. The best way to kill a few hours a day is by hitting the gym. Nothing else to do might as well build the perfect physique. I added to my ugly rig and grew an Iso beard. Now at a quick glance the cheapest racks I could find online are $AUD599 and that doesn't include transport/freight costs. Thats a hell of a lot of hive needed to be purchased and swapped into afit to make these purchases. Swap hive also has a small amount on fees which means not all of it comes back into the market. Increasing the need for Hivr coins. I was in the process of swapping some afit for afitx coins but I am thinking of biting the bullet and retaining my afit and just buying afitx. ## **How big is the fitness industry?** Huge! In Australia alone the economic value is $AUD244Million and the market is untouched screaming for more. In comparison the Fitness industry value in America is $AUD30Billion. If Actfit can pull it off and capture a small amount of that market it's winfalls and flow on effect on the Hive blockchain will be worth MILLIONS. I'm keen to watch this space, if you haven't already. Download the dapp and staty walking and achieving those steps. You'll be rewarded for it. The APY at current is great value and worth it at the moment. I probably shouldn't be sharing this secret with you as I may lose out in the long run. 😰 Posted Using [LeoFinance ^Beta](https://leofinance.io/@melbourneswest/emergence-and-progress-of-actifit)
