Watch Out! Fitness Trackers are Becoming High Fashion

Two rows of bikes in front of me was Laurissa, my spinning teacher. Clipped to the side of her sports bra was a piece of jewelry the size of a small brooch. It was silver and shaped like a leaf. “Why so Fancy?”, I asked her. “It’s a fitness tracker”, she said matter-of-factly. It is no surprise that fitness trackers are taking off since fitness apps have been coming out in their hundreds for people to pick and choose from in the app store, so much so that websites like Cell Phone Deal have come out with a list to help people install the right one on their phone or other devices so they can reach their fitness goals in the timeframe that they want.

Fitness trackers have taken another step forward. Before, people would do regular exercise, follow a diet plan and take a few health boosters like organically farmed mushroom supplements (we could say, farm to fitness). But now, fitness tracking has become crucial part of health maintenance. It started as a question of “if you will ever get one” to “when you will get one”, to finally “what accessory are you wearing that is discretely disguised as a fitness tracker”. The options are endless, see here for some that are suitable for even the smallest budget. Companies like Mobile Mob offer accessories like replacement bands to change the way a device looks or simply to replace a broken strap. Fitness trackers are no longer just for tech companies and sports brands. High-end designers are getting involved in the renaissance. People want to style their fitness trackers now so they blend in with what they are wearing without drawing too much attention to them. If you don’t believe me just take a look below.
