Please describe the following:
1) You.
I am Nick, a student at the University of Florida. I have experience in coding from taking multiple classes and coding during my internship in Denver. I also have experience working in a corporate office. I believe this helps me with the skill of professionalism and approaching business opportunities. I see this business being a way for me to get started in entrepreneurship and see how well I can do.
2) What are you offering to customers?
I'm offering GitFit, a fitness app for both trainers and trainees. Essentially the trainers pay a subscription fee to be on my app and get exposure to a large network and clients. In return, individuals get to select from a wide variety of personal trainers that can help them with fitness.
3) Who are you offering it to?
I'm offering this to fitness beginners. This is because most of those who are already in shape and work out don't need a personal trainer. I'm also offering the advertising portion of the app to personal trainers, mainly newer personal trainers who havn't established their independent brand or market yet.
4) Why do they care?
They care because fitness and health are important aspects of everyday life. A lot of people want to get into shape but have never been able to, and this is who my app is geared towards.
5) What are your core competencies?
What sets GitFit apart from other companies is convenience. It is extremely easy to use for the trainers, since they don't have to advertise themselves, or make their own website. They can simply use our app to find clients. This makes it easier for consumers as well. It's easy for them to browse and find a high quality personal trainer who meets their needs and isn't as expensive as more established personal trainers.
I believe these are all aspects of my business that naturally flow together. Two of the main things I summarized from this post is that the personal trainers should be newer less established personal trainers both because they cost less and they are more likely to actually use this app. The second is that for consumers, I must focus on wanting and encouraging individuals to make a fitness change in their life.
Hey Nick,
ReplyDeleteYour app idea would be great for many people looking to get in shape and for trainers who are looking for more customers. This app could potentially help a ton of people. Health and fitness are a very big issue especially in today´s society. Your idea of having less established personal trainers utilize the app more than "bigger" personal trainers could really help those people out.
Hey Nick!
ReplyDeleteThe adjustment you made regarding the specification of newer and less established trainers I think would definitely make a lot of sense considering the majority of your users on both sides. You seemed to do a great job integrating your feedback into your revised idea napkin and I can see how all of the different elements of your opportunity fit together.
Nick, I notice the adjustments you made regarding your napkin and it shows that you utilized your feedback. I think you are on your way to a great opportunity. Fitness is important and essential to almost everyone. I believe you should continue to research this topic. Your post is organized and fluent. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteHey Nick,
ReplyDeleteIt was good to read your second idea napkin. I think that since the first napkin attempt, your ideas have been further developed and you've identified how to communicate your key points clearly. In particular, I think you did a great job identifying the opportunity's core competencies. I agree that you need to make consumers want to have fitness goals. Thanks for sharing
Hey Nick, I enjoyed reading your post. I believe the adjustments you have made in this idea napkin has added more to your product/service. It is also great to read that you also know what kind of trainors you want to target. Not only will this save you money, but will also aid in the development of those trainors while giving them a platform. Great job!
