Who are your major competitors?
- pacefit 18y agoGreat question. In the sense of online personal training videos - there are many. In the sense that we are developing a platform where fitness professionals meet users (think Threadless meets Current TV meets your local gym), there are none.
- whatusername 18y agoso you don't see places like: http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com/ http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com/ http://www.ttmembers.com/ http://www.ttmembers.com/ as being competitors? What do you offer that they don't?
- mightybyte 18y agoThe question is, can your users tell the difference? I didn't see one. It strikes me that yours might be a little more personalized, but that's about it. An online personal trainer rather than some ripped dude at the gym--although you are cheaper than him.
- silencio 18y agoBut said ripped dude at the gym can watch me work out and can give me personalized help. Unless pacefit can give me personalized help, which is most and severely limited by the not-physically-present aspect, why even bother spending money no matter how cheap it is? I could just watch one of the many videos out there or join one of the many communities to network with other people. I remember the first time I ever used gym equipment when I was a kid in my middle school's gym. Sure, we could all imitate what the teacher was doing, but it was pretty clear most of us weren't doing a good job of it, so he'd personally help us out. Especially for beginners the physical presence is more helpful than watching a video, even personalized.
