Problems solved by technology

However, without a regimented exercise schedule in place, it is difficult to maintain any form of consistency in exercising.
As people's schedules become more and more crowded with work and family related activities, it is ever more difficult to include exercise on a regular basis.
There are also significant costs associated with fitness center memberships, including annual dues, and class and training fees.
However, a regular exercise regimen is still dependent upon the individual and there may be little encouragement to initiate the exercise routine when someone is all alone.
Still, there is no one there to personally coach an individual through his or her program.
Additionally, high tech equipment can be cost prohibitive for some people.
