Update on current membership information as of October 18 2006:
Total Members since May 1st 2004: .................................. 11,753
The number of signups has been increasing at a pretty steady rate. The biggest membership spike for the last 2 years starts on December 27th and lasts till about late Feb. A typical day will see a healthy mix of signups and renewals. The renewal rate is pretty high at right around 40%.
Here are some additional fun facts:
Since May 1st, there have been 308,215 recorded workouts for a total of 1,087,961.56 miles logged, during which a total of 139,774,120 calories were burned (that is right, 139 million) for a total of 39,935 total pounds collectively burned! That means we just lost 266 members (at 150 pounds each) through calorie burn!
Makes me feel like we are really starting to get somewhere ;-)
Of course, by the time you read this, the number will already be out-of-date. Great job everyone!
