Playground Health, a Tucson-based startup, released its social fitness app Playground for the iPhone, designed to promote the “Quantified We” – the idea that maintaining an active lifestyle is easier and more enjoyable with friends.
Playground is designed to leverage the iPhone and Apple Watch in conjunction with the user’s existing Facebook friends to create fun and social games between friends and family. In addition to competitive and cooperative challenges, the app allows users to join more than 50,000 communities worldwide.
The release of Playground for iPhone follows a successful public beta. When asked about their experiences, beta users said, “Playground is an easy, low-commitment social experience that gets you moving” and “Playground has definitely encouraged me to be more active. It’s a super fun way to encourage me to keep track of my exercise and steps and to see what my friends are doing as well.”
Playground Health, LLC was founded in 2016 with the goal of getting the world moving through community, togetherness and friendly competition. The company is passionate about melding technology and active lifestyle.
