Hey everyone, my name is Andrei!
As a developer, I am quite sedentary and relied on going to work to get enough steps to stay reasonably healthy. As we know, that's all out the window since coronavirus, especially where I live where there is still a curfew and lockdown!
To get some exercise in at home I started watching youtube videos, but often found that the ordering of the exercises got tiring after 10+ repeats! I searched around for fitness apps, but didn't find one that combined a good workout customisation feature, as well as socials/gamification.
The benefit of being home all the time is productivity though, so I started on an MVP in April for and am at a point where I'd love feedback on what works and doesn't work!
Introducing pocketrocket.fit!
It's a web app that allows you to do workouts online (desktop/mobile supported), and connect with friends.
So far pocketrocket does:
As I mentioned, I would love feedback, either product or otherwise. I've developed the platform myself, and am getting my head around sales+marketing now.
Feel free to feedback in the app, or shoot an email to [email protected]
Thanks everyone, lets get through these dark times together! :D
Hey man, nice idea and functionality. only comment would it looks very developery and you could prob get a designer to give it some polish on the edges. good luck with the building
Nice start @Andrei1. Having spent the past 9+ years in digital fitness I can certainly say it is an exploding area. The primary service I founded was called RockMyRun (http://rockmyrun.com) which has grown to 20M+ users, though I also launched Jolt.ai (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jolt-ai)
Two bits of feedback:
Also - something to consider is that 70%+ of the fitness market is female. It comes as a shock to most people, but generally speaking women spend much more on fitness than men.
Best of luck! Given my experience in the space happy to help however I can
Fantastic advice, thank you very much!
Hi, cool site. The pricing link at the top didn't work when I clicked on it.
What programming language did you write it in?
typescript/react with serverless framework and aws cdk
Nice idea, good luck with it!
Good one. Fitness helps you stay productive
Nice one.. is there a mobile app? @Andrei1
The website has responsive design, but an android skin courtesy of google bubblewrap is on the way :)
Nice idea :) How do you plan to promote it?
I plan to promote through posts (like these), paid ads, and promotions through influencers.
Out of curiosity, how are you addressing the MDR (Medical Device Regulations)? :-) I cofounded a digital health product last year and I'm looking for feedback from other founders :-)
