So one of the interesting challenges we’ve had since Gymdeck launched in beta a few weeks ago was the unexpected demand from places like the United States: California and New York, to be precise. Though not at all surprising given both the Golden State and the Big Apple’s passion for health and fitness!

While this is great news for us, it means we’re now planning to charge in US dollars instead of British Pounds. This will take a few extra weeks to get into place as credit card companies aren’t fans of keeping things simple. So to make sure we do this properly we’ve decided to make Gymdeck completely free* until the end of May (instead of April as originally planned) – which is even better news for you, our customers!

*After this, Gymdeck will continue to offer a free 30-day trial period for new customers

Something pretty awesome happened at last week’s 2011 GeeknRolla conference: Mike Butcher, TechCrunch Europe’s editor, completely took us by surprise by personally announcing Gymdeck to the 500+ packed house of technology founders, venture capitalists and press. And the 3000 folks visiting on the live stream. Needless to say, it was slightly overwhelming and we’re just delighted that the response Gymdeck is getting has been so positive. Thank you Mike!
