We have listened to your feedback and are making many changes to strengthen our application. You can see our new navigation and enhanced features designed to make using our application easier and more intuitive. The Strands Fitness Beta application is designed by our team of professional athletes to help you achieve your fitness goals.
We’ve revamped our goals! All goals will be displayed in the the progress bar and will be automatically updated with every activity you add to your training log. To share a goal, click on the yellow ‘More’ button. Choose goal options including Simple, Weight and Activity and define how you want to track.
View your activity summary for the current week! The progress tab displays active goals, recent workouts and friends’ activity. From the report tab, you’ll get your weekly summary charts, recent activity from your contacts and current active goals. From the complete summary page, you can then navigate to the pages and posts you wish to find.
Remember, any posts created in the Strands Fitness Beta application will only be saved and available in Beta. When the Beta application replaces current site at fitness.strands.com, all your saved activity history from Beta will then be transferred. We suggest you try out Beta, but choose one application to add your activity. Facebook login users will not be able to access fitness.strands.com until the Beta application replaces the current site at fitness.strands.com
If you have any questions, comments and concerns, please visit our Beta FAQ or contact us at feedback@strands.com.
Thank you for your support as we create a stronger application to help achieve your fitness goals!

Last week, the Strands Personal Finance team made their way to London to attend the first FinovateEurope conference. The company was one of 36 selected from around the world to present at this demo-based conference in front of an audience of 400 financial executives, press, analysts, bloggers, entrepreneurs and industry players.
At the conference, Strands Personal Finance gave a preview of their new Business Intelligence (BI) application, which plugs directly into the Strands PFM platform. The BI app gathers user data and analytics from Strands PFM solution, allowing banks to visualize key metrics, personalize and customize their PFM solution and see key performance indicators.
The application was designed to help financial institutions improve adoption, ROI and profits from their PFM solution. It will be available later this year. If you are interested in more information about Strands Business Intelligence, contact our SPF team.
