2. A portable health coaching system, comprising:

a first portable electronic device comprising;

a first display screen;

a first user input;

a first satellite positioning system receiver;

a first accelerometer;

a first wireless communication transceiver;

a first memory; and

a first processor configured to;

receive a first input from a user on the first user input, the first input being related to a health-related action,

identify electronic data stored in a database on a remote computing device based on the first input, the electronic data being related to the health-related action; and

cause the electronic data to be modified and stored in the remote computing device database.

3. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

a second portable electronic device comprising;

a second display screen;

a second user input;

a second satellite positioning system receiver;

a second accelerometer;

a second wireless communication transceiver;

a second memory; and

a second processor configured to;

identify the modified electronic data stored in the database on the remote computing device,

receive the modified electronic data from the remote computing device, and

display the modified electronic data on the second display screen.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the second processor is further configured to:

cause the modified electronic data to be altered and stored in the remote computing device database.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the first processor is configured to:

identify the altered modified electronic data stored in the database on the remote computing device,

receive the altered modified electronic data from the remote computing device, and

display the altered modified electronic data on the first display screen.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein the second processor is further configured to:

receive a second input from a second user on the second user input, the second input being related to a second health-related action,

identify second electronic data stored in the database on the remote computing device based on the second input, the second electronic data being related to the second health-related action;

causing the second electronic data to be modified and stored in the remote computing device database.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the first processor is configured to:
