@bjorntastic from the trainer side, what is their advantage using Fytns vs. working in a gym? Also - any plans for people to sign up for a weekly workout at a cut rate?
@TimDalrymple Money and freedom! Gyms take a massive rake, generally 50-70%, which we think is way too much. But until now most trainers don't have any other options. Our trainers keep >90% of the money spent on the workouts. We think that's a more fair distribution based on who is actually doing most of the work.
And then of course trainers who work with us have the freedom to choose their own hours.
Regarding your second question, we have lots of ideas on how to change the pricing options. We want customers (and trainers) to be able to choose and customize it more freely, e.g. discounts like you mention!
Heya, Product hunters! One of the guys behind FYTNS here.
We built the app to conveniently find cool, diverse workouts. On the other hand we're also developing a suite of tools for our trainers to help them manage their business. We're currently available in the SF city area.
It's our first app. All your feedback (and requests for new sports/trainers) are belong to us. (:
@nikunj a couple of things from what I can tell:
a) they seem to have a p2p model for their trainers
b) their pricing (subscription focus)
c) they are from Sweden and we're.. oh wait.. :)
Truthfully our products work in similar ways and we probably have very similar goals and ambitions. At least that's my interpretation.
@kjemperud To get top-notch trainers we had to invest a lot of time upfront into finding and vetting the right people. We speak to all our trainers first, preferably in person, and we also work out with them. It has been a lot of legwork but I think it pays off - we have a process that works well now.
Once in the app people can rate and review their trainer. We will watch it very closely of course :)
@kar2905 next year! We have a ton of ideas to implement into the app & also gotta get on that Android version...
But LA is definitely one of the first cities we'll go to after SF
