I built a tool that turns Google Calendar into a Personal Trainer using Gemini & Xano. Should I focus on UX or Marketing now?
I’ve been obsessed with productivity and fitness for a long time, and I’ve seen the same problem over and over: colleagues, founders, and CEOs wanting to do something for their health, but struggling to stay on track while managing their time.
So I built FitDots.
The idea is simple. It scans your daily availability and puts a workout block in your Google Calendar. If you are busy and you resize that block from 45 to 15 minutes for example, the app detects it. Gemini and Xano then recalculate your entire workout to fit those 15 minutes and update the event details automatically.
The core concept is: you don’t miss the workout; you just adapt it to your available time.
Where I need your help:
I wanted to launch this fast, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for Product Hunt or to invest in marketing yet. I’m also currently finishing to get my official Personal Trainer diploma to back-up the project, so I'm dedicating 50/50 the time.
My question:
What should I do now? Should I spend more time iterating the UX and adding features like workout splits (upper/lower body), or is this MVP enough to start investing in marketing and validation?
I’d love to get some feedback on the "calendar-first" logic and if this approach actually solves a problem for you.
I’m also sharing the behind-the-scenes plus some fitness and productivity tips over on Twitter/X (just starting): @ProductFitCoach

I like what you're building, but you're asking the wrong question.
You're wondering whether to polish UX or invest in marketing. But the real problem is: You haven't convinced anyone they should care about FitDots in the first place.
Look at your pitch: "It scans your availability, detects when you resize the event, recalculates your workout, updates the calendar automatically."
That's describing the mechanism. But a busy CEO doesn't care how it works. They care about whether it actually solves their problem.
Here's what you haven't said: What happens when someone uses FitDots for 3 months? Do they actually stick to fitness? Do they see results? Does it genuinely remove the friction that kept them from working out?
You're assuming the answer is yes. But your copy doesn't prove it.
Right now your positioning says "Your calendar + AI = Workouts that adapt to your schedule." But what a busy person is actually thinking is: "I've tried fitting workouts into my calendar. I always skip them. Will this actually be different?"
You haven't answered that question. You've just described a feature.
Here's the uncomfortable part: You could have perfect UX, and people still wouldn't want it. Because you haven't convinced them that a calendar-first approach actually keeps them consistent with fitness. That's the gap.
The ones moving fast in the health/productivity space don't lead with "here's how the technology works." They lead with "here's what actually changes when you use this."
A founder using FitDots for 90 days should be able to tell you: "I went from zero workouts a week to four, and I'm finally seeing progress." Or "I stopped flaking on workouts because the adaptation means I can't make excuses." Or "Seeing it in my calendar made fitness feel like a real commitment, not an afterthought."
But you haven't said any of that. So when someone lands on your site, they think "cool tool" but not "this solves my problem."
You're splitting your time 50/50 with trainer school. That's fine. But it's also why your pitch feels tentative. You're not sure FitDots is the answer. You're testing. And that uncertainty is baked into your positioning.
The ones committed to their idea don't ask "should I market this?" They say "here's what this changes, here's the proof, and here's who it's for."
You're missing that entirely.
Thansk for the feedback. I'll take it into account, your points are clever. Are you making reference to the copies of the Homepage? Any part in particular? Do you have any suggestion on what to put there? Truly appreciate you telling me this!
Glad it landed. Yes, mainly the homepage — but it's a copy strategy problem before it's a copy words problem.
Right now your hero section leads with the mechanism ("scans your availability, recalculates your workout"). That's the how. But the visitor's brain is asking why should I trust this will be different from the last 3 things I tried?
A simple fix: flip the structure.
Lead with the pain → validate with the outcome → then explain how.
Something like:
"You keep skipping workouts. Not because you're lazy — because your calendar is unpredictable. FitDots fits your workout to whatever time you actually have. No guilt. No excuses."
That's not a finished headline — it's just the direction. Pain first, mechanism second.
The other thing missing: social proof or a result. Even one real user saying "I went from 0 to 3 workouts a week" does more than three feature bullets.
You're building something genuinely useful. The product just needs to stop hiding behind the tech and start talking to the person.
Hey quratulaincreatives. Thanks for telling this last time. I've revamped the message and updated the homepage. Check it out if you had the time. Go to https://www.fitdots.ai/
I'm preparing a small Product Hunt launch for next week. Thanks for your feedback!
I am glad for you good luck
