Hello everyone! I'm excited to tell you about BearyStronk, a casual fitness app that I hope will make a small positive difference in your health as you build your dream products. Why I made this As life gets busier I've found it hard to have a consistent workout routine and so have gotten by just squeezing in scattered exercise daily e.g. push-ups or sit-ups. It seems to be a common pattern amongst friends and colleagues so I made this to help guide folks who might not have a structured workout routine but would still like to try and exercise daily. How will it help The app focuses on reducing procrastination stemming from not knowing what to do, by offering short format workouts which can be paused / resumed for pockets of free time throughout the day e.g. 12 push-ups now but continue workout later. Where more time can be committed, you can also plan a full week of custom workouts or take on a 1 - 4 week challenge. The goal is not to complete everything but to try and do something at least! What makes it unique BearyStronk prioritises the solo experience but has also support for proper group challenges so that you can some fun competing with your family, friends and colleagues. The app starts out light and casual with silly things like shareable certificates when you complete challenges but is also suitable for users with serious longer term goals with visible physical changes. You can create and store progress pictures where privacy is of top concern here - progress pictures taken with the app are not available for viewing in your default gallery app, are blurred by default to reduce oopsie situations and never leave your phone (exception - read public journals below). Progress pictures are: 1. Stored locally in your phone, not backed up to our servers by default 2. Can be stitched into side by side comparison pictures 3. Can be organised into albums for specific topic / body part organisation 4. Can be shared entirely as a fitness transformation journey as a mini blog page when marked explicitly to be public Check out the app store links for a full list of features such as workout mode, exercise logs etc. Thank you for reading I hope this small preview of what you can do with the app interests you and that you would take some time to try it out as I'd love to get some feedback to make it even better. Please let me know if there are any questions I can help with but otherwise take care of your health as you hustle to deliver :)

@kjosephabraham Thank you for your support! The greatest surprise has probably that the SQLite version on devices might not be the same for both iOS and Android so relying on certain features led to some issues discovered only during cross platform testing. But also the positive surprise has been that Flutter is really nice to work with especially when you don't really have advanced features needing deep native integrations :)

How to help fitness users stick to it? I used some fitness software, with a sustained period of time, but if the middle missed, or delayed a few times, it is easy to stick to it

BearyStronk sounds like an absolute game-changer for those of us who can't always make it to the gym! The short-format workouts that fit into our busy schedules are a brilliant idea, @bearystronk . I love the idea of group challenges to keep motivation high.

Hey klin, How does BearyStronk help users gradually increase their fitness level over time? Are there features to keep people motivated and engaged long-term? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Thanks for taking the time to ask these questions! At the moment it's up to the user to edit workouts and increase either the repetitions or add more exercises, but based on suggestions given I'm looking into adding a simple prompt for increasing the values mentioned above with one-click. Progress pictures were originally one of the long term features as it does require quite a bit of time to see significant progress but I have also been asked to include more social features like sharing of workouts, deeper interactions with others which might all help bring people back :) Did you have any particular suggestions or ideas you'd like to see?

So, I get the idea of this fitness app, but isn't it just another home workout thing, what makes it different from the others, also how about some more advanced routines for those who want to push a bit further? I'd be curious to see a community feature or something where people can share their own workouts and progress, what do others think on this?

@philantrofoot Thanks for your feedback! The initial thought was to make it really simple so others could get started with familiar exercises but the ask for more advanced routines seems to have come up in a few other comments as well so you're definitely on to something. I'll explore how I can segregate different levels of fitness to make this a bit more progressive. I really like your idea of sharing workouts, it will surely bring an element of variation as well so others can take inspiration from them. Will definitely be adding this as a feature soon so look out for i!

Honestly, it's a cool idea but not seeing much new here, reminds me a lot of stuff like Nike Training Club or 7 Minute Workout, they also offer quick at-home routines and challenges, privacy on progress pics is nice tho, how about adding a feature to sync with smartwatches or fitness trackers, could make it more appealing, also, why not add more interactive or gamified elements to keep folks engaged?

@adhimediaguru Thanks for your feedback! I'll take a closer look at Nike Training Club and 7 Minute Workout to get a better sense of how to differentiate this meaningfully which might also give me an idea of how to sync with smartwatches / fitness trackers. Having a tighter integration to these devices might also help with user retention which would then form a positive loop for exercising and improving. Loving your suggestions so far, did you also have any specific thoughts on what might be gamified element? Group challenges do offer a tiny bit of that but only within that sub-group so I'll have a deeper think about what might be something fun at the community level :)

Hey there, I get that you're aiming for fitness on the go, but I'm wondering if users might get bored with the simpler routines, also is there a way to make it more competitive to keep folks engaged, maybe more real-time leaderboards or something?

@aitrainerjb Thanks for your feedback! For longer term usage I'd definitely agree with you and echoes some sentiment from other comments as well. An idea I had filed away for later on was to allow users to share their workouts such that other users could try them out - that might make it more interactive as workout creators could see that other users were attempting their routine and also add more variety into what was available in the app today. Do you think that might be something worth looking into? The real-time leaderboards are a great idea! Was there a particular aspect you thought they might want to compete on e.g. number of workouts completed, exercises done? A form of leaderboards currently only exist in group challenges but I'll brainstorm some variation where it might make sense for the general community as well :)
