An approach is provided for tracking and analyzing physical activities. Inputs are received from a plurality of users. The inputs specify one or more physical activities. The inputs are analyzed to quantitatively compare the activities among the users. A score is assigned to each user based on the analysis. The scores can be presented to the users over a communication network.

1. A method, comprising: receiving inputs from a plurality of users, the inputs specifying one or more physical activities;analyzing the inputs to quantitatively compare the activities among the users;assigning a score to each user based on the analysis;presenting the scores to the users over a communication network; andcomparing the scores on a normalized scale,wherein the comparison step comprises assigning a base point value for an activity performed over a predefined period of time, base point values are adjusted for the relative skill of a particular user, and the adjustment comprises adjusting a number of sets of the activity performed by an intensity multiplier to arrive at an assigned point value per activity completed. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the users utilize either a telephony device, a mobile device, or a computer to provide the inputs. 3. A method of fitness analysis comprising: receiving inputs from a plurality of users, the inputs specifying one or more physical activities;analyzing the inputs to quantitatively compare the activities among the users;assigning a score to each user based on the analysis;presenting the scores to the users over a communication network; andcomparing the scores on a normalized scale,wherein the comparison step comprises assigning a base point value for an activity performed over a predefined period of time, base point values are adjusted for the relative skill of a particular user, and the adjustment comprises adjusting a relative length of time engaged in an activity by an intensity multiplier to arrive at an assigned point value per activity completed. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the comparison step comprises a comparison between a user's performance and the user's historical performance. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the comparison step comprises a comparison between a user's performance and the performance of other users. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein base point values are assigned by learning the base point values using previously entered aggregated data. 7. A method comprising: accessing a fitness analysis system for recording a user's activity;receiving numerical points responsive to an amount of effort exerted by the user in a particular activity;assigning additional points based on dietary behavior and lifestyle;grouping selected users into teams;totaling the number of points earned by all of the users on each individual team during a predetermined period of time; andcomparing the total number of points earned by each team during the predetermined period of time to determine a winning team. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: displaying a user's point totals relative to the user's historical performances; anddisplaying other users' point totals relative to the other users' historical performances.
