Nice post. At Fitocracy (I work here) we see the same thing. Over time, as people workout more and document their progress and transformations, we of course start to see them expand and change their routines in order to win more points, earn badges or complete quests, but we also start to see them make life changes as well that are completely separate of fitness.
