1. I am currently a senior here at UF studying Construction Management. I have many skills like I am good at drawing, fishing, and I am a good people person. If I was to start my business idea I feel like it would play a big role in my life because I would put all I have into it to make sure it would be as successful and profitable as possible. Once I started it I would only want it to grow more so it would play a very important role in my life.
2. The product that I want to offer as I have described before in my previous post is an app for the gym. It would include a live number of people at the gym, so you can see how busy it is before you go as you would have to check in and out with the app before going into the gym in a way that is similar to how you check into UF's gyms. It would also include a way to to reserve a machine or spot in line for a certain machine. You would go up to the machine and scan your app with the machine to check in. You would also check out with the machine once you finish your sets. This would hopefully reduce the amount of wait time for machines.
3. The product can be offered to literally anyone who goes to the gym or wants to go to the gym. Obviously it would apply more to the people that go to the gym very often, but anyone and everyone would be able to use it.
4. The customers should care because this product will hopefully make their time at the gym more enjoyable because they will not have so much down time in between exercises waiting for a certain machine or bench. This product would also be included in their gym memberships, so they would still be paying those same monthly payments that they always pay except it might be a few extra dollars each month now.
5. I believe that my product will set gyms apart from most other gyms because I do not know of any gyms that offer a product that is similar at all to the one that I want to offer. Most gyms have all the same equipment, but this product will really set gyms apart.
I believe that all of these elements fit pretty well together. The only thing that is weak about this business idea is that simply some people would not want the service at all, but that comes with every product that is ever made. Some people just like the way that going to the gym is now and wouldn't want to change it.
Two Main Points from Feedback
The first is that I originally said there would be live feeds of the gym to see how busy it is, but some people said that they would not like other people being able to watch them workout on a live feed which is completely understandable. So I took that away and instead made it so you have to check into the gym when you walk in (like UF's gyms) so you can see a live number of people currently at the gym to see how busy it is.
The second thing I took away from feedback is a couple people simply said that they would not like to use my product and just want the gym to stay the way that it is now, which I also understand but there's really nothing I can do about that.
