HFA Celebrates Success with Get in Gear Fitness App
Over 7,400 people have downloaded the app  
In June, Hemophilia Foundation of America (HFA) launched a free mobile fitness app to encourage people in thebleeding disorder community and community at large, to become more physically active and improve their overall health and wellness. The Get in Gear application brings awareness and support to the bleeding disorder community by allowing users to track their fitness activities while learning pertinent information about bleeding disorders.
In just 5 months, over 7,400 people have downloaded the Get in Gear app — exceeding our goal of 5,000 downloads by the end of the year! HFA is committed to health and wellness, because when those with bleeding disorders have healthy and stronger bodies, they bleed less.
“I’m a 46 year old male, 195lbs, smoker. I love the Get in Gear app because it has motivated me to exercise after many years of being out of shape and having high cholesterol,” said Ben, a user of the Get in Gear app. “Thanks to the app, I’ve been exercising consistently for 2 months.”
The Get in Gear app can be downloaded for free in the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace and can record
physical activities including: walking, running, hiking, swimming, bicycling, cardio, yoga, zumba, Martials Arts, and much more.
