NetSweat.com has a new look.

Ahead of our 14th anniversary (we launched NetSweat.com in June 1995), we decided that we didn't want a web site that looked, well, like it was 14 years old. So, we sat down and thought if we were going to launch the site again, from scratch, what we would do?

The answer to us we have a site that was easier to use. And that's what we did. We re-categorized everything into common themes and changed the layout. The result is a site that loads faster and is easier to navigate.

For instance, say you are looking for yoga equipment. You could click on the hyperlink in the last sentence, or you could select "Fitness Equipment" from the menu at the top of every page and select "yoga equipment". One click from anywhere on the site to anywhere else you want to go.

Now, this is not cutting edge technology by any means and quite frankly, we don't need cutting edge technology. We just want to do our small part to help you stay healthy and become more fit. And if making our site a little easier to use plays a role, then we're happy.

Unfortunately, the one page we have not addressed yet is our fitness blog page. The reason is that we are running the page through Google's Blogger service and, well, we're restricted to what we can do on the layout. But nearly every other page on our site has the new look. So you should surf around. And yes, we're looking into to altering the layout of this blog page too.

There are still various tweaks we need to make here and there, but with a fitness site that is 14 years old, we'll always have something we want to update or change. We're always pushing ourselves to do thing better and when you're working out, we hope you are pushing yourself too - whether its working on your form or pushing the intensity. Most importantly, we hope you are having fun doing it.

Thanks for helping us keep NetSweat.com going for all these years. We are looking forward to many more.
