"Staying fit together" should be something ALL partners involved are participating freely in and not forced on by someone else. I'm highly skeptical that thus a foundation would be motivational for the "forced" partner at all. Your presentation focuses more on the spying/pressing aspect than the benefits and how they would be achieved. But even ignoring the "spy on your significant other"/"force your significant other to do something he/she doesn't commit freely to" part and concentrating on the "stay fit together" idea, I don't see any true differentiators/benefits for the $5 investment: There are already many solutions that allow to share and compare my fitness tracking data with others, often for free. In addition, there are many options to "stay in shape", like going to the gym, power yoga, pilates, running, cycling, swimming and so on. Your preferred method doesn't need to be the one your significant other might be interested in. Any solution to that? To sum up: From the presentation I really don't see what the true unique benefit is that your solution provides to the users.

Thanks mstolpm for your insights! I actually couldn't find another option that would allow me and my spouse to share and have full access to each other's "fitness analytics". I know MyFitnessPal seems to be popular and there are other apps and stuff, and I'll admit that I didn't actually try every one of them. I understand that for some of these services, sharing full data with another person would probably just be an additional feature, but for my purposes it would be the main source of value. Anyway, if you know of any solutions that do this, I would love to hear, because I would start using it today with my spouse. As far as doing different kinds of fitness activities, I totally agree and never intended to give the idea that people would have to engage in the same activities. It took my quite a while to figure out what I enjoy and found to be sustainable, and I can definitely appreciate diversity in this area. I really do appreciate your feedback. Thanks again!
