Being interested in Fitness for a long time, 4 years ago I decided to build a mobile application to help users track their fitness data. Although even at a time there were so many famous applications such as myFitnessPal etc. The problem I noticed was, even the functionalities that would not cost the developer/owner extra, were included in premium subscriptions and they were unfairly expensive. Another problem was that they were not structured well. Nutrition, Trainings and Body measurements were not in a way to follow separation of concerns to make the tracking and navigating the fitness history easy.
Then I started building the project, but I didn’t study IT so it was a nightmare. I would think about what it would look like before I go to sleep and try to make it so in the morning. I wasn’t aware that having a whole design doesn’t add up to development time but actually shortens it. In addition, I came across other applications that give opportunity to fitness professionals managing their own clients but they would have it through a website only. I implemented the same thing but in a mobile ios/android app as well, I really think I smashed this functionality and hopefully will connect Fitness professionals to their clients.
As a result, all this work took me 4 years on and off to complete. It probably still has a lot of room for improvement but I truly believe I nailed it. Now, when It comes to marketing plans or so on, I don’t even have a proper landing page yet. And I will definitely rant about the struggles in another post, Hopefully this is just the beginning of a fun journey.
Here is a link if anyone is interested (i know i know no landing, but I assure you features are great imho.)
