Tracking progress has always been necessary for fitness fanatics, but the internet and mobile apps made these services available to everyone.
MyFitnessPal was one of the first to provide tracking services for fitness and health, with user generated meals, items and workouts. Strava, AllTrails and Komoot added refined tracking through GPS and route planning, which let users explore routes and challenge friends on times.
The introduction of the iPhone led to the creation of Fitbit and other fitness accessories, using sensors to better track steps, distance and heart-rate. Apple and other brands have added more health and fitness tracking in recent years, marketing their watches as all-in-one fitness solutions.
