Heyo, Zengineers ... Welcome back for an exciting ride through the technological fitness wonderland with Allen & Jesse, the founders of FitBod. What is FitBod, you might ask? Great question! It’s our favorite strength training app for iOS ... One that finally does so many things Adam’s been trying to find in workout software for years. FitBod leverages machine learning to customize workouts for you based on your own activity, your own body, and data from millions of workouts tracked thus far in the FitBod system.
We took Adam’s decades of experience as a competitive swimmer and former NCAA athlete and Brian’s professional status as activity master extraordinaire and gave FitBod a full afternoon together at the gym. It was a great experience, and the follow-on conversation with the FitBod founders was just as good.
In this episode, we meet Allen and Jesse, and talk a bit about how they ended up working together, their backgrounds, and how they’re focusing all of that on FitBod. Jesse: design and product - Allen: math, CS, and rugby. They run us through how the app works, their motivations in design, their plans for future integrations and some really cool big data applications for the fitness world.
We love the experience the FitBod team brings to their app, the perspective shifts they are encouraging with features like recovery state calculations, the positive attitudes they want to foster for everyone in the fitness community, and most of all, the fact that they refuse to build in a feature that lets you skip leg day!
