Feedbackk on PT focussed app

[warwickkay]

Hi everyone,

Need your opinion on something if you have a few minutes.

I’m an app designer, and I’ve been invited to work on a fitness app targeted as a CRM / client management tool for Personal Trainers.

Now as they’re a startup and they’re offering me quite a attractive offer of shares to help design, build and grow the app. I’ve worked with them before on other projects, and it’s an awesome team and this is something I’m personally interested in. I want to get beyond the simple contracts and work on something I can help grow over the long term, but before I commit I would love to get some opinions from you guys regarding the industry, the need for the app etc.

So here are a few questions, it would be great if you could help me out and answer with your thoughts. I would like to gauge the feasibility of the app before I sink a lot of time into it.

1. Do you currently manage your clients personal data in a contact management system?
   • Data like: contact details, goals, emergency contact, weight, etc
   • If not, why not and how do you do it?
2. Do you or have you considered using an tablet (iPad, Surface, Android Tablet)?
3. Would you use a tablet or phone during a session to track how the client’s workout is going?
4. Anything else you’d like to add.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
