1. A mobile communication device comprising:
- a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with the processor, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium has instructions encoded thereon to;
record performance data that is based upon a performance of a physical activity by a user of the mobile fitness device; and
transmit a communication comprising the performance data;
a housing wherein the processor is located within the housing; and
a module in communication with the processor and located external to the housing, the module being selected from the group consisting of;
an accelerometer configured to generate movement data based upon a movement of a user of the mobile fitness device; and
a Global Positioning System (GPS) configured to generate location data based upon a location of the user of the mobile fitness device;
wherein the performances data comprises one of the movement data and the location data.
