Shiftworks App — Adelle LaTour

Shiftworks Overview

Shiftworks is a at home personal training program that provides its users with online workout opportunities. With this program, users never have to leave the comfort of their home to experience the benefits an effective workout routine. Shiftworks program includes prerecorded workout series, personal trainers, social profiles, and more.

Shiftworks uses a specialized camera that records and reflect its user on a screen. Users are then placed side by side with prerecorded videos or online personal trainers who can observe and guild them through personalized workout routines.

Understanding the Problem

Problem 01

Familiarity with Personal Trainers. Working with online personal trainers, users may have a hard time finding a trainers who know them on a personal level. Working with each other through a screen doesn't provide an environment where trainers and customers can get to families and comfortable with each other like working in person can.

Problem 02

Accessibility and Programs for Users with Disabilities. As far as I can tell, these at home workout apps and programs dont have accessibility options. Programs or trainers who can work with people whom have disabilities.

Problem 03

Lack of Motivation and Accountability  Unlike gyms or in-person workout classes, at home workout programs dont keep people accountable. It can be harder to stick to a workout regimen when users are at home. In-person classes require a customer to pay for a class before hand, and carve out a chuck of time to workout each week. Online classes can be better for more flexible schedules, but it can be easy to fall out of your daily routine when money and time isn't on the line.

Solution 01

Creating the opportunity to build close personal connections with personal trainers. Users can pay for one-on-one coaching from personal trainers. By using the Shiftworks camera, trainers can guild users through their personalized workout routines and give real time feedback and encouragement.

Solution 02

Providing a safe space for users with disabilities to explore fitness is a safe and healthy way. Shiftworks will have different prerecorded classes specifically for people with different disabilities. Along with live classes for folks with disabilities. There is also be options to work with personal trainers who specialize with disabilities.

Solution 03

Users can sign up for live classes. This enables users to mark classes on their calendar. Shiftworks also connects users with friends, family, and other users nearby. Users can they compare progress and routines. Shiftworks also has a badge system that awards users with badges for specific achievements.

Solution 04

Other Safety and Personalization Solutions
Shiftworks will have an AI “trainer” watching users through the camera to analyze and correct form when possible. This is for users who are not working with a personal trainer or in a live class to prevent injury. There will also be a secondary pop up that ask for how the user is feeling. Whether or not the workout is feeling hard or easy, if anything is hurting, etc. All this data works to suggest other workout options for the user.
