Build a fitness app — workout tracking, coaching, and fitness community.
The fitness app market is crowded at the consumer level. Apps that succeed have a specific audience, a specific fitness methodology, or a community that general apps don't serve.
Fitness brand, gym, or trainer who needs a custom fitness app for their specific methodology, community, or coaching product — not another generic workout tracker
Generic fitness apps (MyFitnessPal, Strava, Nike Training Club) own the general market. Fitness apps succeed in niches:
- Methodology-specific: CrossFit programming, powerlifting-specific, mobility-focused
- Audience-specific: Postpartum fitness, over-50 fitness, physical therapy rehab
- Community-attached: Brand extension for a gym chain, trainer's coaching app, fitness influencer's program
- Equipment-specific: Connected equipment app (like Peloton's model)
Fitness app technical requirements: Workout content delivery (video + instructions). Rep/set/weight tracking with history. Progress visualization (personal records, volume over time). Apple Health / Google Fit integration for steps and heart rate. In-app camera for form check or rep counting.
Subscription model: Fitness apps monetize via subscription. Stripe for web, RevenueCat for iOS and Android IAP management. RevenueCat handles the complexity of managing subscription state across App Store and Play Store.

React Native with Expo for simultaneous iOS and Android deployment. One codebase, shipped to both stores. For companies with an existing large iOS audience and no Android urgency, native Swift is an option — but most fitness app founders benefit from React Native's speed to market.
