Gold's Gym iPhone App

We're pleased to announce that the Gold's Gym iPhone App has been released into the App store.

Commissioned by Equinox Apps, utopia 365 provided the coding for the App (and a few other bits and bobs).

The App features our own in-app updating engine (newly updated), an RSS reader/Blog parse, image libraries, GPS Gym lookups / find my nearest Gym and Gym class scheduling via external sources... basically there are some clever technologies being used under the hood.

Be honest now...

... who had heard of Rebecca Adlington before? Come on, hands up. Not many I'll wager.

Two GOLD medals. One World Record. In Swimming? She's British, right? Wow. The first time in 100 years that a British swimmer has won two golds in an Olympics. The first time in nearly 50 years that a British woman has won a swimming gold at all.

Let's face it, nobody saw this coming, did they?. We knew we would do well in the Rowing, Sailing and the Cycling, but the Swimming?

I was going to try and write a nice article, but there's little point when this article from Claire Stocks at the BBC is so perfect.

These Games have been amazing. We've even got a medal in the Gymnastics (from a man)! Whatever next? Maybe the England football team can learn a thing or two about competing - no, forget that, forget the football, we won't be winning a World Cup anytime soon.

Well done Becky, you should be getting enough recognition and money from now on to buy all the shoes you ever desire.
