I'm incredibly excited to launch WOD: A beautiful HIIT workout app for people on the go.
This app has been in the making off and on for about 6 months. It finally reached a point that I'm really proud of and I'd like to share it with you all.
I wrote a piece on the story of WOD and what I learned while building it. Read it here: https://medium.com/@milesalex/ho...

@milesalex Congrats on the launch! I'd concur with @eon though, you might think of a less jargony title. "WOD: A beautiful HIIT workout app" is not approachable to me.

@lay2000lbs This is a crossfit term, meaning workout of the day -- nearly everyone who does crossfit is familiar with it. Looks like this app is targeting them.

@milesalex Makes sense, I didn't know what WOD was either. But it seems like the terminology helps self-select to people who would actually want to use the service.

@mscccc @milesalex title will resonate with people in your target audience for sure. the app is for people familiar with crossfit workouts! it's not really HIIT if there are no rest periods but I get why you might want to target that term also :)

@mikefiorillo I created a list of WODs that I did in the past and liked and then ran it by a few personal trainer friends of mine. I plan to add workout regularly. In the future, I am going to expand upon this model to add more workout diversity (muscle groups, plans, trainer styles etc)

Awesome work! Been doing more bodyweight outdoor workouts because of November Project and The Uncommon Movement over the past few years. I like one of the features on your roadmap to make this social. If you could organize free pop-up workouts on your platform, I'd totally do that to make new fitness friends! We currently do this with 1,000+ people on a Facebook group (NP Boston Social).

Interesting to try it out ( as I travel most of the time, so gym membership does not make any sense).
Enjoyed the story and open roadmap. As I could understand you build roadmap based on the feedback? What;s the best way to contribute?

Tbh, everything. It's an open book and I'd like to make the product more useful for the people that already find value in it. I plan to expand most things (workouts, stats, social) while still keeping it simple. The open roadmap and communication I have between my users has driven most of what I have today. I plan to keep that up.
