The problem it solves
Many people unknowingly use fitness equipment incorrectly, which can hinder their progress; this service helps users optimize their workouts for better results.
How it makes money
One-time consultation fee or subscription model for ongoing fitness assessments and adjustments.
Skills you need
Fitness knowledge, experience with exercise science, and strong communication skills.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of connected fitness devices, like Peloton and Fitbit, creates a market for services that optimize users' workout efficiency. A practical first-revenue move is to engage with fitness-focused subreddits, where potential clients seek advice on improving their routines and equipment usage. A significant constraint is the need for ongoing education and certification in exercise science, which can require substantial investment and time to establish credibility in a competitive landscape.
