Fitness brand V Shred exposed the personally identifiable information (PII) of over 99,000 customers and trainers -- and has yet to fully resolve the leaking database responsible.

Las Vegas-based V Shred is a company that offers fitness plans for women and men, with a focus on fast workouts, nutrition plans, and supplements. The firm says it has clients in 119 countries, 12 million unique visitors to its website per month, and over 40,000 subscribers to its university program.

On Thursday, vpnMentor's research team, led by Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, made the data leak public, in which an unsecured AWS S3 bucket exposed the PII of at least 99,000 individuals.

The bucket, discovered on May 14, originally contained 1.3 million files, totaling 606GB of data. Among the files were three .CSV files of particular note; one that appeared to be a lead generation list, another a client email list, and a trainer list.

Combined, the files contained names, home addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, some Social Security numbers, social media accounts details, usernames and passwords, age ranges, genders, and citizenship status, among other data points.

The .CSV file of the most importance was 180MB in size and contained the PII of tens of thousands of people.

ZDNet verified the open bucket and at the time of writing, many resources remain open and accessible, ranging from company materials to diet guides, workout plans, and user photos.

CSV files appearing to contain the information relating to both trainers and clients remain exposed. IDs, first and last names, email addresses, genders, and client email addresses are included.

In addition, the open bucket contains before-and-after photos of members, some of which could be deemed sensitive.

Due to the company materials stored in the bucket, it was not difficult to ascertain that V Shred was the owner. Both V Shred and AWS were notified of the misconfigured bucket on May 18 and 20, respectively.

V Shred responded to the research team via Amazon customer service on June 1. In a conversation between the company and researchers, a V Shred team member denied there was an issue with the exposure of PII.

At first, the team member said that the bucket was only used to store web assets, CSS, and media files, adding that if the resources were made non-public, members would not be able to download their meal or training plans.

In addition, V Shred said that in order to access such content, a link would have to be shared and/or a user would need to be logged in.

However, the researchers explained that the bucket is open for anonymous users to browse, including each separate directory listing.

On June 18, the main .CSV file containing substantial PII was removed, but the rest of the bucket is still public and accessible.

"V Shred is a young company and appears to be run by a small team," VPNmentor noted. "However, it's still responsible for protecting the people using its products and signing up for its services. By not doing so, V Shred has jeopardized the privacy and security of the people exposed and the future of the company itself."

V Shred has not responded to repeated requests for comment at the time of writing.

WURTLAND, KY (WOWK) Physical education is considered an essential course in schools across the country. But what happens when you dont have the funding for up-to-date proper equipment?

For the Wurtland Middle School, their troubles with out of date equipment are now long behind them. The middle school has been awarded a $100,000 gift from the National Governors Association for the completion of a new fitness center.

The schools old equipment was definitely out of date.

The equipment that she uses now, its not much, its just a little bit. Some of its broken.

The center will be located in the same room as the health and PE class, but with a few new renovations. The floors will be covered with rubber and the room will be filled with the new equipment.

The equipment will include:

Gov. Andy Beshear and Jake Steinfeld, chairman of the National Foundation for Governors Fitness Councils, announced Wurtland Middle is one of the three Kentucky schools that were selected to receive a state-of-the-art $100,000 DONT QUIT! Fitness Center.

The center will not only be available to the students, but also staff and other members of the community.

Its going to provide a place for staff to work out. Its also going to be open to the community.

Students will be allowed in the center during and after school hours for free. Community pricing for use of the center is still being discussed.

Welcome to Riding Nerdy, TNWs fortnightly dive into bicycle-based tech, where we go into too much detail and geek out on all things related to pedal-powered gadgets.

With all the cycling tech on the market like power meters, heart rate monitors, Zwift, smart trainers its easy to think that you just need to ride more and ride harder to get fitter. But thats not necessarily the best approach. With all this tech we should actually be training, and recovering, smarter.

I say recovering, because thats specifically what the latest tech Ive been using for the past few months the WHOOP band does. In short, its subtly augmented the way I approach rest and recovery after exercise, and made me appreciate sleep way more than I did previously.

Its helped me recover so well, in fact, that during the first full month of using it, I did more cycling (in terms of time) than Ive ever done in my life. I managed to squeeze out some 52 hours of two-wheeled fun in May, normally Id do about 30 to 35 hours per month. Off to a good start, Id say.

But before getting all nerdy, lets start by looking at what Whoop actually is, and what you get in the box.

There are two components to the Whoop experience, the wristband and the app.

The wristband is a pretty simple affair. Its a fabric strap that contours securely to your wrist. It has a waterproof housing that contains sensors that measure five key performance metrics based on heart rate and skin conductivity. The wristband is also Bluetooth-enabled, which lets it broadcast this data wirelessly to other fitness devices. I actually paired it with my MacBook to use in Zwift and it worked flawlessly.

Compared to other sleep trackers and fitness watches, its a delightfully lightweight, subtle, and stylish alternative. Sleeping in this thing has been no problem at all as its also incredibly comfortable. Which is also good, given that youre supposed to wear the strap 24/7.

In fact, Whoops secret is to gather tonnes of data around the clock.

But for that data to be useful it has to be accurate, otherwise the insights into your physiology and recovery will be useless. Ive always been a bit suspicious of how accurate wrist-based heart rate monitors are. My preferred choice, chest strap heart rate monitors, have been the gold standard of laboratory accuracy for over a decade, whereas the accuracy of wrist-based systems can vary widely.

I did some validation testing myself to see how the Whoop band compares to a Garmin chest-strap. I wore the Whoop on my wrist and paired it with Zwift, I also wore my Garmin chest strap at the same time and gathered the data from that device using my bike computer.

I did an 80-minute ride on Zwift with some threshold intervals to make sure my heart rate was going up and down throughout the ride. Post ride analysis on Strava showed that Whoop is as good as the highly-accurate Garmin chest-strap. As it turns out, the Whoop is way more accurate than I was expecting. Another point to Whoop.

After wearing the Whoop band for every second of the day for at least a week, it starts to get a pretty good idea of your physiology and heres where the other component of the Whoop experience comes into play, the app.

Theres no screen on the Whoop band so that means the main experience of the device is on your phone. In the Whoop app, you can keep a journal of how youre feeling, and dissect all the data that its been gathering to develop an understanding of how well youre training and, more importantly, how well youre recovering.

The app is built around three main screens to help you understand and track different aspects of your training and rest: strain, recovery, and sleep. Theres also an overview screen where you can see a snapshot of your past weeks performance.

Each of these screens has an upper and lower section. The upper section gives a quick snapshot of that specific metrics daily score, the lower goes into a bit more detail and shows your seven-day history. Its very intuitive, and takes just a few minutes to figure out.

The only annoying thing is that it takes at least a week for Whoop to gather and analyze enough data about you until it starts becoming useful. But the more you wear it, the better it becomes. With time, it learns more about your body and what normal is for you. The more understanding that Whoop can gain of your own cardiovascular physiology, the more accurate it becomes when giving you your strain and recovery scores. After about a week, youll clearly see when youre training above or below normal levels.

I found myself spending most of my time on the main overview and recovery screens, checking them every morning after the app processed my sleep for the previous night and computed my recovery score.

There are a few key metrics when it comes to computing your recovery score: resting heart rate, heart rate variance, sleep quality, and day strain.

The day strain is a measure of how hard you trained, Whoop also captures activity data when it senses youre out doing something like running, cycling, or whatever else. So when you get back, it will compute a strain score for that specific activity, you can also drill down into that activitys data if you want.

Resting heart rate is also self-explanatory, but heart rate variance (HRV) is the one that is perhaps most interesting. Ten years ago, not much was actually known about HRV, but its fast becoming one of the most important fitness metrics used by professional athletes.

As its name suggest, HRV is a measure of the tiny changes in time between individual heartbeats. HRV is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. When under a lot of physical and emotional stress, HRV drops to prepare the body for fight or flight mode, but when well rested, a persons HRV will increase.

While lower resting heart rates are indicative of being well-trained and well-rested, the inverse is true of HRV. Resting heart rates vary from person to person, the average is around 70 beats per minute. HRV also varies from person to person, more so than RHR in fact.

While high HRVs are indicative of fitness, that rule only applies on an individual level. A person who has a HRV of 140 isnt necessarily twice as fit as someone with a HRV of 70. However, if a person who has a HRV of 70 when well-rested, wakes up with a HRV of 40, its indicative that they could do with a bit more rest or to take it easy for the day.

Interestingly, HRV and RHR arent always in sync. There have been many days when my resting heart rate returned to normal levels, and my recovery score was in the yellow (red is bad, green is very good, yellow is in the middle). However, my HRV was still suppressed, and Whoops advice is to not train too hard on that day.

Ordinarily, I would have thought: I feel fine, and my RHR is normal, lets go for it. But on a deeper level, I still needed to rest and address other causes of stress.

Following Whoops guidance, and performing restorative exercise on these days, proved a sure fire way to get my recovery score back in the green. In other words, letting Whoop take the lead with how hard I train has helped me promote recovery, and make more gains to fitness than I would have otherwise. Its like having a coach in your pocket.

While most fitness bands are focussed on keeping you active, it should be clear by now that Whoop is the opposite. Its not going to tell you to stop working out, but rather, it helps you understand how much emphasis you should be placing on recovery after exercise. If you train hard, you should rest hard too thats when the gains are made.

You wont find any arbitrary step-counters on the WHOOP band or its associated app. Instead, its main features and interface is focussed on helping you understand your bodys response to varying cardiovascular loads and recovery strategies so that you can learn how to recover better.

For average folk like myself, it will help make what little training and recovery we do more effective; for pro athletes, it can help prevent over-training.

Knowing on an objective level how well rested you are can help you identify days when you should train hard, and days when you should focus on active recovery and restorative exercise. Thats the basic principle.

I, like many other cyclists, am guilty of riding lots of junk miles, where I gamble about at a decent intensity with no real focus. For seasoned cyclists, doing this does little more than build up a substantial amount of fatigue. Fitness plateaus because training isnt at a high or varied enough intensity, and perhaps more importantly, all that time riding prevents adequate recovery.

The real benefit of Whoop for me was learning how to personalize and polarize training. In other words, using Whoop I now know with some accuracy when I should make hard training days hard, and easy days easy. Its made me see that going on feel for me is about 80% accurate, and that my training generally does lack focus.

Over the two months using the Whoop band, Ive increased my functional power on the bike by about 6%. That might not sound like much, but some riders can struggle to make performance gains like that over the course of an entire season. Ive also taken a bunch of Strava KOMs of that period too.

(Speaking of Strava, just last night, Whoop announced that it now integrates with the fitness tracking platform, so you can upload activity data directly to the fitness social network.)

I havent made dramatic changes to what Im doing when Im training, either. Instead, Whoop is making me disciplined to go easy on days when I need rest, and to push harder in confidence on days when Im well rested.

Whoop places a big emphasis on sleep because thats where most recovery is done. It bundles this into what it calls its sleep coach. The sleep coach learns how much sleep you need to get by, perform, or peak and then tells you when to go to bed so you wake up the right amount of rested.

The folks at Whoop told me the most common piece of feedback after the first month or two of using the band is how much more sleep users get and I can testify to that. Im getting way more sleep, and clearly the benefits are showing. Just do what it recommends, and you wont go too far wrong if youre wearing it all the time.

But there is a fly in the ointment: the price.

Whoop is taking an unconventional approach with its pricing strategy. Users dont buy the band or app outright, but instead, subscribe to Whoop like a gym membership. Or like Strava is now asking you to do.

There are three membership options available at the moment, with varying levels of commitment and upfront cost. The shortest commitmetn is for six months an works out at 25 per month, after which you can cancel or carry on with the standard monthly fee of 25 per month.

If youre willing to part with a bit more cash upfront you can commit to an 18-month membership which effectively costs 16 per month, or 288 upfront. Then 25 per month afterwards.

This seems expensive, to me. Especially given that without the membership the device is useless. It can be gifted to someone else, and they can start a membership, though.

The Whoop band itself isnt too advanced, theres no screen or GPS, and its sensors arent exactly bleeding edge. And users dont actually pay for it, its all covered as part of the membership. So that takes the edge off, a little.

Strava recently pivoted to a subscription model and all hell broke loose users really didnt like being asked to pay $5 per month for a fully featured service that used to be mostly free. The free version is still well-equipped, though. But there is no free or entry level option with Whoop.

Whoop is a new company, and I think its always better to lower prices over the course of time, rather than raise them and introduce fees for historically free services. So this might be a good move to start off with, but I would like to see Whoop segment its product for different budgets.

Perhaps it could offer different feature levels for different monthly fees. Or perhaps it could sell the hardware for an upfront cost, and reduce the monthlies a little. I think theres a world of opportunity for Whoop, and it should explore its pricing strategy continually.

Hopefully as the company develops and more people buy into it, its prices will come down and value will go up. As I mentioned, Whoop has just added Strava integration which adds a boon if you also use that platform.

All in all, my experience with Whoop has been great and has become part of my daily routine. Its got me sleeping more, respecting recovery as I should have been, and my performance and overall well-being has improved. Its helped me figure out how to wake up every morning feeling as refreshed as possible its hard to put a price on it when I put it this way.

Marvin James shares 3 things to do to work on your health and fitness and stay Amped Up during the pandemic.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. We're into the summer months now, and with a lot of us still working at home or making plans to return to work soon, 13WMAZ's Marvin James share with you 3 things he is doing to work on his health and fitness to stay Amped Up.

1. Set a walking or running goal

"I set a goal with my Fitbit of 8 to 10,000 steps per day, which includes in-house workouts or daily walks anywhere between 3 and 6 miles. Taking an hour-long walk allows me to get out of the house for a change of scenery and some much needed vitamin D, while sweating and burning calories to some of my favorite tunes. It's important for me to engage in some sort of physical activity at least 3-4 days a week to help improve not only my physical traits, but to build mental strength as well. It releases endorphins to battle negative thoughts or depression because I'm not going out as much as I am used to, and to be honest from a lack of watching and covering sports, which isn't just my job, but actually one of my favorite pastimes. Note -- it's always important to listen to your body and seek guidance from your doctor in regards to your physical regimen so not to overwhelm yourself."

2. Use your friends and family as a support system

"My support system is an extreme priority. I have a phone chat group with 8 of my friends and fraternity brothers who are on this Amped Up road with me. We motivate and inspire one another on our journey. We help each other be accountable with workouts and nutrition, often encouraging and challenging each other after every text. Sometimes when I don't feel like working out, my notifications remind me that one of my friends has just finished a run or a lifting session or cooked a healthy meal. That positive energy shifts towards me, and before you know it, I'm up and on my way to 'git-R-done.' So find a few like-minded friends to help push you along to a better you in the good times and the bad."

3. Find an "accountability activity"

"It may not seem like much, but I printed out a worksheet that I found on Pinterest to help me keep going. It's like coloring by numbers. For every day that I either work out or complete my Fitbit goals, I color in the date of the month. Knowing I don't want a blank sheet at the end of the year is the little motivation I need some days. I plan to frame it on New Year's Eve so I can focus on doing even better in 2021. In true transparency, as you can see, April and May were not very productive months for me, but I got back on the saddle in June, so there's no excuses for quitting."

Here's the sheet so you can start coloring along and also share your monthly creations with Marvin.

"We've made it through the first 6 months, and what a start to 2020 it has been, but we have so much more to accomplish as we have reached the halfway point here in July."

Black alums of the popular reality television show Survivor are airing out the truth behind the long-running series.

In an interview with NPR, the first Black woman to ever compete on the show in 2000, Ramona Gray Amaro, claimed the final production footage was edited to make her appear one way that was far from the truth. Gray said this ultimately enforced negative stereotypes that are often placed on the Black community.

I became the lazy person, which is the furthest thing from the truth, she told the outlet. That really upset me and it took me a long time to get over it to realize, we signed our life away. They can do whatever they want to do.

RELATED: Gabrielle Union Files Discrimination Complaint Against AGT Simon Cowell

Continuing to watch the show, which began in 2000 and is now on its 40th season, Amaro says that it has become more apparent that Black cast members are made to look a certain way.

Im just saying, Do right by us, she continued.

Another contestant, JTia Hart, who competed on the show in 2014 started a petition to push for diversity on Survivor, asking for casts to have at least 30% of people of color in their upcoming seasons.

What they dont do a great job with, is telling positive stories and connecting with the multifacets of being African-American, she told NPR.

I have a degree in nuclear engineering from a top engineering school. Im a mother. I work in national security. I am very well-rounded. And I just got boiled down to a simple trope of a lazy, unintelligent person.

Cast alongside Hart, Brice Johnston, believes he was stereotyped as the sassy, flamboyant Black gay man and thinks that current conditions of the nation are due for change.

Its not just Black Lives Matter when it comes to the police, he explained. Its Black Lives Matter [for us] as reality contestants our lives, our stories, we matter as well.

There was a time, not too long ago, when I was a double-fisting fitness tracker kind of girl: Apple Watch on the right hand, FitBit on the left. It's not that I monitor my steps and calorie count that closely. I just liked getting the happy notification that I'd hit my step goal, or feeling the satisfaction of closing all my rings. It was fun to hit little daily goals and feel proud of myself, and keep up some friendly ("friendly") competition with my family while I was at it.

When we started to shelter in place, my step count went down. A lot. Like, all the way. I didn't have my three-mile walking commute and I was dealing with some nagging injuries, so I couldn't run around my neighborhood or even do a lot of at-home workouts. My Apple Watch, of course, noticed REAL fast. It thought some concerned notifications would help. "Maggie, you're usually farther along on your rings by now." "Maggie, you closed your rings once last week." Even the encouraging messages just came off as condescending: "Maggie, you've almost closed your exercise ring! A brisk 20-minute walk should do it." As though it was that easy with one foot in a walking boot and a pandemic making me nervous to leave the house.

I could've just turned off the notifications, but even on the days my trackers didn't ping me, a quick glance at the time (and my rings and step count) was a reminder of how far behind I was. It was such a small thing, but I couldn't stop the cascade of negative thoughts that would follow. "You're so out of shape compared to last year." "You're not working out at all anymore." "Remember when you'd hit 12,000 steps a day like it was nothing?"

I was already stressed and anxious from the pandemic, but beyond staying at home and wearing a mask, I couldn't do much about that. Instead, I took all that fear and negativity and turned it toward my falling step counts, my low calorie burn, my fitness, and my body. Seeing the actual numbers was just evidence that I was losing control of yet another part of my life. It was like if I berated myself about it with hard numbers to back it up! I could prove that I still had some kind of power.

I don't know if you know this, but being hard on yourself has never actually forced a pandemic to go away or made an injury heal faster or magically turned life back to normal. (Hear that, anxiety?) There were a lot of things I couldn't control and it'll probably be that way for a while but one simple, small thing I could do was give it a rest on the fitness tracking. I liked my Apple Watch and FitBit because they told me tidbits of info I didn't know, like how much I was walking or standing or burning in a day, but when you're at home 24/7 and unable to work out, you pretty much already know the answers to those questions. I didn't need the constant reminders, especially if my brain was going to take it as an excuse to whip up some more negativity. We all have enough of that already.

Currently my Apple Watch and my FitBit are both chilling in their chargers, and that's where they're staying for a while. I might strap one on when I can run again, but even then, I'm not sure; I don't exactly have a race to train for, and going out for a run without any numbers on my mind sounds pretty wonderful. Monitoring things like steps, calories, and standing is helpful and fun for some people, but I realized that for me, it just played into a need for control that quickly turned toxic when I couldn't satisfy it. As I'm slowly (soooo slowly) starting to work out again, all I really want is that amazing rush of endorphins and calm that comes after a hard workout. You know that simple joy of movement that can't be quantified or tracked on your wrist or sent to you in a notification? I can't wait to feel that again.

BOSTON, MA Gyms can reopen starting Monday as Massachusetts enters phase three, Gov. Charlie Baker announced at his news conference Thursday. For Boston, however, phase three will begin on Monday, July 13.

When gym doors open, a few things will be different.

Gyms will be required to keep occupancy below 40 percent capacity and sanitize equipment after use. All customers will have to be masked.

Fitness centers and gyms have been closed since March, when Baker mandated they shut down temporarily. Gym members and owners have been frustrated by the closures a Somerville gym owner sued Baker this week, stating that gym closures are a violation of fifth and fourteenth amendment rights.

Other gyms created virtual classes in an attempt to sustain memberships, or asked members to continue paying if they could in order to support trainers and staff who found themselves out of work.
