One major component that defines working out is a workout partner. Is there a way to keep track or your partners progress even if they don’t live in the same city, in order to keep you on track.

-the quotes in the beginning are an effective way to grab our attention.
-maybe you can have this be a sort of motivator for the user, make it a bit aggressive so the user feels encouraged and a bit pressured to actually go and work out. Sort of like a personal trainer.
-I really liked how you included an example of your interface, it gives us a clear view of what your going for.

i like how you are thinking of all types of people, and emotions.. intimidation, not knowing, scared of the gym, or even those who exercise by walking the dog.

it should be personalized, and have levels.
other than just feeling better, being in shape is there another type of motivation? YES you just said game.. try to play with that.

i think it’s a good thing that you decided to focus more on fitness rather than adding in the nutrition component. I think that your app will be stronger with a specific focus on fitness and whether or not you’re working out correctly, using augmented reality.

Your last comment about taking in what Amber said (girl you interviewed) about making fitness be more fun or act as a game I think could be a really interesting idea.

I really enjoyed your presentation. I feel like I understand your app a lot more. I like your level of humor. I also like the idea of using it in your home, or using in the gym (gym members download it free)-don’t lose that.

Good job

great visual treatment.

i appreciate that you view this from the perspective of augmenting exercise rather than trying to necessarily infiltrate the fitness industry and save the world.

I LOVE Bernadette Peters!! So kudos for quoting her.

I like that you’re delving into something that has been seen 1009485323879 times before, but you’re trying to make it so different that people want to use it.

Dealing with ‘correct form’ you might want to have suggestions of stretching to do before and after your workout, depending on what type of workout you do (weightlifting, running, cardio, etc.) And how to stretch correctly.

Might want to also teach novices to a gym how to use machines and equipment correctly before they go so they aren’t as self-conscious about “gym life”

Nice presentation. I like how you have all the information we need to understand your direction.

What if you’re already using your iphone to listen to music? How will the two applications co-exist? I see some people exercising with the phone on their arm…how will that affect the use of your application?

Immediate reward system would be interesting to see. Going to the gym is rewarding, but in the much longer term, so I think this would help user stay motivated.

I’d like to see how the app uses augmented reality correct form. I would feel uneasy putting my phone on a cradle far away from me so that my whole body is able to fit on the screen (thieves!).

Nice sans serifs.

-Would it have a catalogue of exercises for you to follow? Could it help you plan workouts? I find myself doing the same exercises and same movements without a whole lot of variation, I’d want something like this to be all in one spot so I can easily plan a workout or find different exercises.

The profile at the end highlighting what people want was good. I think that the more knowledge you have of what people think about exercising will give you better ideas how to approach this in a new way.

Strengths:
-I like that it’s centered on users who may be trying to break into becoming fit and may be overwhelmed by the gym environment.
-You seem to have a good understanding of why people discourage themselves from working out at the gym

Weaknesses:
-you may want to flesh out a little more how the app works with the experienced user vs. the complete novice.

interesting that the app could be apart of a physical space like a gym.

the idea that the app. focuses on a person’s physical form and movement is interesting and could be similar to the Nike iPod partnership. Rewards and incentives are a good idea as well.
