There’s a brand new app hitting the scene that has university students across the country pumped up to get in the game. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well if you are involved with any fitness around campus your next download should be REC*IT.
REC*IT is a mobile application connecting campuses, students and administrators at over 900 colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. It aims to transform how students interact and participate in sports and fitness on campus. The app is designed to be effortless for the user and includes features that allow students to keep connected wherever they are.
The team at REC*IT has taken the hassle of running around campus checking information boards about fitness and sports and put it all together and more with a simple touch of your finger.
There’s a reason why REC*IT has crushed industry standards and has been in the top five free sports applications in the Apple App Store for good reason. It is the source for intramural fitness sports on campus.
The team at REC*IT included some important features that simplifies the process of getting involved and being involved in sports and fitness around campus.
David Oestreicher, president of REC*IT, has been involved with fitness and intramural sports for almost a decade and three years ago he had a vision for providing a tool and a resource on campus for these recreation programs to better communicate with their participants.
“We established a strong user base and we recognize that the folks that have downloaded this are using it religiously,” says Oestreicher.
“It makes sense because it’s how students get their schedules, results, announcements and news and it’s kind of a must have for intramural and fitness participants.”
With the app you are able to totally customize your user experience. “It automatically populates their custom information depending on what teams their playing on or whatever fitness class their involved in,” says Oestreicher.
The app is designed to enhance the user experience and the REC*IT team is planning on working towards working with companies like NIKE to provide discounts and special offers to REC*IT users. The app is free to download for from the Apple App Store and the Google play for android users. For more information head to recitcollege.com.
