A quick Google search for fitness apps will reveal pages of sites that discuss the features of fitness app after fitness app after fitness app. There is an incredible world of fitness apps out there. There are so many options, almost to the point of causing stress. All of these apps were designed to help people get in shape, but the features sometimes lose sight of the fact that you have to actually do the workout, not just show up to the gym or submit to some guilt based motivational functionality. In many instances, the fitness app world has fallen victim to scope creep.After researching for this blog post two things came to mind, the “KISS principle” we all know as keep it simple stupid, and “Occam’s Razor” which refers to the philosophical idea or scientific principle that the simplest answer is usually correct.When we created the HOTWORX Burn Off App, we felt that we needed to allow our members to use the app in conjunction with any fitness device that they trusted so long as it had a heart rate sensor for better accuracy, so we developed the app to allow users to do that with a very simple feature. Then we proceeded with the idea that the app needed to do two things really well to help customers get in shape, (1) allow users to book workout appointments easily, and (2) track calories burned during and after HOTWORX workouts. Now, the final simple tool that we have upgraded the app to do is (3) allow users the ability to measure workout results on the body. Burn Off App users can now track the “burn off” of bodyweight and body fat percentage.
One more improvement - - - we have now made it easy for our member users to track as many back to back workouts as they desire within one training session.With the simple HOTWORX Burn Off App: Book your workout appointment - track calorie “burn off” during multiple workouts and during the one hour after-burn - track your weight and body fat “burn off”. Then watch the new you develop in the mirror…it’s as simple as that!Steve
