In the Lab: Building A KICK ASS APP
Yours truly burning the midnight oil building a new and improved BodyCircuit iOS and Android App.
Quick update from the BodyCircuit lab.
If you want to get leaner, stronger and build real muscle, there is one undeniable truth: data is king. The people who change their bodies and keep those results are the ones who measure what matters.
You are 200% more likely to hit your body composition goal if your track your meals.
For the last 15 years as an entrepreneur, I have been on the front lines of building different technology platforms. I am not a developer, so historically it meant hiring developers and spending real money to build anything meaningful.
Today it is different. With tools like Google Studio AI and ChatGPT, it is amazing how much you can produce on your own.
Over the last few years, I have tested every fitness and nutrition platform I could find. Right now my clients use a white labeled version of Trainerize. It does many things pretty well, but nothing great.
Some apps crush workouts but fail on nutrition.
Some nail habit tracking but ignore the bigger picture.
Some make tracking so clunky that people quit after a week.
I have never found a single platform that is excellent across the board. So in November I made a decision. If the solution does not exist, I will build it.
The goal is simple. Give my clients the cleanest, fastest and most accurate way to capture the data that actually drives results. No friction. No frustration. No wasted time.
Meal tracking is a perfect example.
Five minutes a day logging food is too much.
It should take thirty seconds.
Speak it. Simple.
Snap a picture. AI analyzes it instantly.
Prefer tapping a few buttons. Easy.
….plus micronutrient analysis, workout guidance, habit tracking, and being intelligent about tracking your health and fitness data.
This is the direction we are going. Technology that works with you instead of slowing you down.
I am pushing hard to get the first version into client hands in before the end of December.
This app is a perfect example of how AI is changing the game. A year ago it would have taken six months and more than one hundred thousand dollars to build. Now it will cost about one hundred dollars and roughly one hundred hours of focused work. I
t is still a serious investment of my time because I value my time, but it is incredible how fast AI is changing what is possible for small teams and solo creators.
We are building best in class tools for the BodyCircuit community. The future looks strong.
