With a market size reported at around US $14 billion, the key figures on the personal trainer’s industry in the US and worldwide are staggering. A research giant Statista further quotes in the same report that the number of businesses, only in the United States, is close to 850 thousand. It shows that the figure is much higher globally.

A company with a large team of fitness trainers approached WeblineIndia with concern and sought a fitness software solution as its trainers struggled with client management.

WeblineIndia pondered over the case and found complexities in scheduling, fitness progress tracking and most importantly maintaining seamless communication between trainers and clients. To address these concerns, we suggested developing a Fitness Management software that simplifies these tasks and allows trainers to focus more on delivering quality personal training rather than getting into the management quagmires.

The concern:
To keep trainers focused on client’s fitness goals while managing their accounts on the go.

To empower trainers and clients alike, WeblineIndia envisioned a user-friendly fitness software platform to simplify clients’ account management. We outlined a highly intuitive and interactive fitness management software that would easily track client progress, communicate flawlessly and update workout plans right from a mobile phone or tablet. The fitness software would free up time of professional fitness trainers so that they can concentrate on personalized guidance and ensure that clients achieve their fitness goals as planned.

The concern - Client - Trainer

Factors We Considered for the Trainer’s Delight

Upon project approval, we were committed to crafting the ultimate fitness trainer application that will stem from a deep understanding of the optimum requirements and challenges faced by veteran fitness coaches. After conducting detailed sessions with more than a dozen veteran fitness trainers, we got the nuances of how exactly an fitness management app should be and what exactly they want as a software solution.

We carefully considered every facet, from ensuring faster and more secure data tracking and personalized workout planning to establishing better communication. We also focused on building a top-class community on the platform by offering UX, scalability and security all at once. We were pretty clear about the factors to keep in mind while building the best fitness management software for iOS and Android.

Goal

Goal Setting and Tracking

As a basic requirement, we first thought of setting a fitness goal and tracking the progress to achieve it for clients and trainers.

Workout

Workout Customization

Fitness trainers are peculiar about their workout customization as a single solution does not suit all clients. We considered equipment availability, fitness levels and the client’s goals.

Exercise Library

Exercise Library

A comprehensive library of fitness exercises with easy demos and variations was thought of.

Integration with Instruments

Integration with Instruments (IoT)

The IoT was thought to consider integrating the app with gym equipment wherever possible for automation. This would allow the trainer to fetch data and analyze it.

Nutrition Guidance

Nutrition Guidance

No fitness training is completed without nutritional guidelines or a diet regimen. Incorporating tools for tracking calorie intake, meal planning and micro/macronutrient ratio was considered.

Certifications and Credentials

Certifications and Credentials

Showcasing the eligibility, seniority and expertise was also a concern. We thought to include a leaderboard that worked for them later.
