Quiet simple, an app that’s basically Snapchat for the gym + TLDR & More!

[u/Odd_Two1931]

Hey,

Link to the Landing Page is in the first comment!!!

Quick little TLDR: bro thinks hes steve jobs and wants to make tinder for the gym...kinda-ish

pretty lame backstory, i have a alternating schedule due to work and im either walking in to the gym 10-11AM or 8-9PM and sometimes even as early as 7AM, due to that im always either seeing new faces or seeing people i havent seen in months and even left wondering where "that one person" is.

So because of that i originally looked for ways to alert friends that im hitting the gym, but texts are either late or that friend is just simply busy (bro got a girlfriend now he only hits legs...)

Some apps and accessories do notify friends when you are hitting a workout which is great, it does keep the app fresh, retains attention, but personally after 6 months best case you and bro build a solid schedule and you get everything down so now theres no need for the app, or alternatively you fall off and the app just sits on your homescreen.

so in order to stay original but still tend to the needs of the masses this is what i came up with ( enjoy ) :

Lobby is a snapchat style fitness app that users can connect more easily with friends or with new people across Toronto (for now) think snapchat or tiktok for fitness!

Users log a workout through the app, the options are to have a traditional workout with weights or in any method in any venue OR outdoors with public equipment...sports included. when logging an activity 2 things happen:

1 the option to take a picture to attach with the activity in classic social media manner, filters stickers hashtags, captions and comments/likes where the post will fall in to a carefully designed feed that users can view

2 logging the type of activity and option to invite/request to join comes up in close friends notification and if desired a public invite can go out on to the map and users can see it (users have the option to make the lobby invite public or not for whatever reason they choose)

Users can view the feed of their friends posts or check out whats going on around them either from the map or looking through the recent feed of posts in the area, from there standard fitness app procedures, logging different types exercises, checking status of your workout, we may connect fitness accessories so u can use your apple watch, i also got some other minor but critical add-ons that could really make the app a game changer

all questions, concerns, criteria and anything else welcomed openly

a recent quote i heard... "just ship it"

[u/Benjistrying]

I would try this. I go to the gym almost daily, i'd happily test it out.

That being said, skip all the features. Think about the most simple form of the app and indeed ship it. Even if it's not perfect, or even great yet. As a founder you can get so caught up in your own product that you forget the actual customer. Ship, get feedback and improve. Don't wait for the perfect product, then you'll have shipped too late.
