In this post, I will be continuing with the idea of having live cameras going in the gym so you can see how busy it is and the use of an app that links with each machine enabling you to secure your turn with each machine. After conducting five more interviews I learned a lot about my idea. These five interviews were all conducted with people that I know go to the gym all the time. Three out of the five people that I interviewed agreed with me that extremely crowded gyms are very annoying and having to wait too long for a machine messes up their workout entirely. However, the other two people that interviewed said that they don't really mind either of those things at all, and it is just part of going to the gym that they got used to. After these interviews I learned that even though there are some people that like my idea, there are also some people that go to the gym that wouldn't benefit from it at all.
Who: Yes, there are certain people that fall outside the boundaries even though they share a lot in common in the opportunity. There are multiple people just like the two that interviewed that wouldn't benefit at all from my idea or use it. This is simply because they don't mind super crowded gyms at all or waiting for machines.
What: The point at which the need I identified differs from another need is really just when you leave the gym. The need I identified only happens in the gym.
Why: The people who are outside the boundary are there simply because they have no problems with crowded gyms or they just don't go to the gym.
Inside the Boundary Outside the Boundary
Anyone that goes to the gym who does not Anyone that doesn't go to the gym or anyone that
like when it is crowded or waiting on certain goes, but doesn't mid it being crowded
machines
The need is for something to be able to tell People will not have a need for anything like this
them if the gym is busy or a way to reserve a if they don't go to the gym or don't care if it is
certain machine to not have to wait for it crowded
The need exists because people get annoyed There really is no alternative explanation. You
when things like this happen either get annoyed by this or you don't
What an excellent idea Nick. I happen to be one of those individuals who hates going to a crowded gym! I am also a novel work out person, meaning I do not go very often. I would assume those who don’t mind are the ones having more focus than I, and don’t mind moving their routine to another machine until the one they truly want is accessible. Adding videos sounds like a good idea, however there are also many that wish to work out in peace, and not under the prying eyes of creeps, or those who would otherwise abuse this option. If these concerns and the ‘you problem’ one you noted can be addressed perhaps you might be on to something.
