1. We started changing that up to say accountability chat-bot. Seems to be working for some.
2. The plans are created by a registered professional. I agree that this should be made more clear on the site. We actually discussed that we were going to add it, somehow that wasn't done. My fault entirely.
3. Okay, this part we didn't think through. But in my conversations with people who have joined so far, they seem to like that i'm also an active competitive bodybuilder, and so is my business partner. Sort of didn't want to make this about me and more about the users/idea.
4. It's not entirely generic. There is a quasi-algorithm that we put together that takes into account the users' weight/height, giving us a bmi and then takes into account how much weight they want to lose and in what time frame. We ended up with a couple categories from this and get the plans created separately for each category. So everyone who joins will fall into one category depending on their preferences... I DO agree very much though that it could be personalized even further and that's something we can charge a premium for.
5. Right now, we don't account for health issues/allergies. As a diabetic, you would have a hard time unless you contacted us directly (we make this easy) and we can figure something out for your. We just launched so we're actually still in the phase of figuring things out that we couldn't prioritize before.
I, a software developer who is also a national competitive bodybuilder. And my business partner, an LPT, RN, and bodybuilder decided to take an online approach to our effective in-person weekly boot-camps.
We took the 3 elements required to get in shape and made them part of a subscription system.
- Custom meal plans
- Workout programs
- Consistency through an accountability chat-bot
I would love some feedback if you have the time. Thank you for your time.
