Word on the street is that Gyminee has some cool gadget ideas in the works. But while we’re waiting for those ideas to manifest, here’s a cool do-it-yourself gadget that will put a quick access version of Gyminee on your Windows Vista Desktop.

What this gadget does is simple: it puts the mobile (or iPhone) version of Gyminee on your Windows Vista desktop using a Windows Sidebar gadget. This opens up instant access to entry pages for workouts, food and your BodyTracker. It also lets you track Gymbuddy News and access the Gyminee library of exercises.

So here’s how to set it up:

1. Download the Minibrowser gadget. Install it as you would any other Windows Sidebar gadget. Drag it off the sidebar and let it sit on your desktop.

2. Open Internet Explorer and log into Gyminee. This is especially important if you use another browser because Minibrowser needs your login to be set in Internet Explorer.

3. In the Minibrowser gadget, type http://www.gyminee.com/iphone in the address bar.

4. Now click on the little wrench to customize the gadget. On the General tab, uncheck all the boxes and leave the reload box at “0.” On the Sizes tab, make both sizes 340×320 (for ease of use). Leave the transform width at “0.”

Click “OK” and you should see a new window on your desktop similar to the screenshot here. Cool, huh? Have another great way to access some aspect of Gyminee? Post it below and we may feature it soon!
