The tour is a good idea. But it still needs to be very clear what it's about. And it isn't. Nice is clean is great. There are a lot of sites with clutter. More white space can often guide the eye to your highlights. Too much can confuse a visitor. But it does depend on the market.

Hi, I just went through the link and agree that the sign-up up front is a turn-off. Didn't even notice it was asking for a name. I initially assumed it was for an email and thought of closing the window. Hope this helps.

social networking = success

The site looks quite nice and professional.

But I'm not really sure it's a social networking site. I didn't sign-up but took the Quick Tour so I might be wrong here.

Is the idea that people can interact with each other and encourage each other to get fit and lose weight? If so, that might be a good way of networking.

The About Us section is nice and friendly and gave me a better idea about the site. Perhaps it would be good if you let people see some of the profiles before they need to sign-up.

I think your Terms of Use could be a little friendlier though. It's pretty direct and a little off-puttting at the moment. Feels a little too clincial to me.

Overall, I think your site looks OK. But is there anyway you can make it a little bit friendlier? I think that might attract more people to use it and sign-up.

I was just looking at your website and it immediately brought to mind a website I currently use to keep track of my training: mapmyrun dot com

Altho mapmyrun is supposed to be an online community, I do not use it at all to get in touch with other people. Yours seems to be more geared towards that and perhaps you should work on making that a stronger selling point (maybe a way for people to match up with workout partners or something). Just a thought.
