Sincerely appreciate the latest app update that allows us to add or edit walk details 👍🏾 Now I can add my Apple Watch info from walks on the treadmill for the days when it’s not wise, healthy or safe to be outside. It’s the next best thing to directly syncing with my fitness tracker. Thank you!

At my last endocrinologist appt, the dr notified me that my HbA1C now falls in the “pre-diabetic” range. She mentioned that if that number does not improve, then she will consider starting me on medication. I asked her what happens when a person has elevated levels of cortisol; she replied that “it can impact your sleep, your blood pressure and blood sugar.” If she had asked me about my stress, perhaps she could’ve seen the correlation. I mentioned to her several times that I was a dementia care partner to my 87 y.o. mother-in-law; perhaps she would’ve realized why that number was higher than the last lab work result taken in Feb 2024. Made some lifestyle changes after that visit, and continuing to work on other behaviors that impact my sleep. Walking (especially after a meal) really helps to lower my blood sugar numbers. So thankful for this app and how it is motivating the consistency in my SELF-CARE by going out for a 30 min walk 5 days a week! I LOVE earning badges and seeing them come together in the quilt! I look forward to seeing the day’s “asphalt affirmation” when the app loads. KUDOS to all those who had input on getting the app together! Thank you for getting an update to fix to “always run in the background” settings. Keep up the great work! 🙌🏾🥰

I’m super excited that GirlTREK finally has this app for us to feel connected to the millions of black women worldwide that are walking in beautiful neighborhoods, communities, parks, historic sites, cites, mountains, etc and now able to share their experiences here in a safe space for black women!!! A judgement free zone! And the app has worked fine for me, just wish it could prompt me to start and stop on its on when I start walking like my Apple Watch or connect to it that would be cool! But great job GirlTREK!!! I am inspired to keep walking!!!
