MARKET OVERVIEW

Customers using android phones and care for their health are the target customers.

People going to the gym are the potential customers.

Can be collaborated with known gyms so that a large number of potential customers can directly be connected with the trainers through gym.

The biggest opportunity is that people can get fitness trainers at a minimum cost as compared to the regular gyms and also people who cannot afford personal training can take help of this app at a cheaper price.

The biggest threat is that the customers who have gained experience in gyms will not use this app for a long period of time and also other app with free workout plans are available. So to gain market prices for the trainers have to be kept very low which will lead to very less profit in the beginning.

Similar competitors are apps such as Workout trainer, GYM trainer, etc. But they are different on the aspect that they offer free workout and nutrition plans and not personal trainers which lags them behind as people cannot follow the same routine and need to change their workout routine which will be given in this app.
