AllSport GPS: turn your GPS-phone into a workout tracker

Allsport_gpsI still like the MotionLingo ADEO device for workouts, as does Judie based on her recent review. What if you could turn a device you already have into a personal trainer and tracker? Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Intransix offers AllSport GPS for purchase on select phones and it might be just the thing instead of buying another device.

Certain supported phones on the Nextel and Boost Mobile networks can take advantage of the GPS functions built in to their phones and using the AllSport GPS Silver application you can track:

  • Distance
  • Time
  • Speed
  • Calories

If you upgrade to the Gold package, you can download maps to your phone as well as upload workout data to an online training log. Check out the supported phones, (which appear to all be Motorola at this point) if you’re on either the Nextel or Boost Mobile networks; Sprint users are expected to find support this year, so stay tuned!
