From wearables to fitness apps, it’s the age of tracking and consumers from all generations are taking part. But what is it about these fitness apps and wearables that consumer’s find so alluring? Is it their instant feedback or the consumers need for acceptance? We know a thing or two about that. In fact, we built a women’s health campaign around it.
