Week 4 Recap - Incredible Feedback

Last week, we launched our first poll to better understand our rapidly growing community. I am thrilled with the massive response we got, it will help shape the coming weeks and months, so thank you!

To try to summarize the poll in one giant run on sentence: "We're a group of runners, lifters, and cyclists who cross-train regularly and who want to learn how to use AI to sharpen our own training, build real consumer apps, and grow the community through team-focused events."

The poll by the numbers:

1) 90%+ of us our regular athletes looking to improve our own personal training!

This was probably the most surprising statistic to me, as when I first launched this community, I anticipated it to be mainly coaches looking to learn how to improve their coaching platforms, but while that still represents 31% of us, it was not the most!

2) 39% of us are looking to learn how to build apps

I love building and tinkering with software, so I am super pumped a lot of people are in the same boat as me!
This is probably the area that was the biggest shift in content direction for me, as instead of launching a coaches only portal right away, I will broaden this to be focused more on traditional D2C

3) 65% of us are runners, followed next by lifters and bodybuilders

It's great to see so many people interested in running, as that is my biggest athletic passion too!
Cycling and triathlon were closely behind!
More strength focused stuff coming right up - probably my worst discipline, so will be fun to learn (any hybrid folks are serious lifters in the group, send me a DM - I want to learn what works)!

4) 60% of people are interested in developing community through team events!

I am so glad to hear this, as one of my biggest reasons for starting this community is to meet other liked minded people
We can start with some virtual ones and then as we grow can try to arrange some in person ones!

5) Some specific asks from folks that I will make sure get added to the roadmap (tried to summarize and many of these were asked multiple times!)

Learning how to use AI for injury prevention - brand new article in Science Direct about this!
Developing personalized dynamic training plans with AI - will be releasing content this week on it!
Creating content around Tennis - I love Tennis too, and there is some real cool tech in the space!
Monthly projects - love this idea, so many angles and opportunities!
Newsletter around the latest trends and topics - consider this done!
How to get actual intel from your training, not the BS generic advice - couldn't agree more!
Incorporating health and nutrition data into your training - this is the holy grail, let's do it!
Replacing Strava with your own tech - started on this last night!
Certifications after you complete the 7-day challenge - started working on this last week!
Build community, sharing ideas and growing together - let's do this together!

These responses get me so excited to continue to build out this community. We are 472 strong and growing rapidly!

Before I wrap, a quick view at the week ahead:

1) Will be launching our first team focused opportunity around weight loss, body composition and nutrition

2) Intervals.icu integration and launch - this will allow you to make dynamic training plans that you can send to your watch... for free :)

3) Finalizing the Advanced Series - hosting and fitness agents!

4) Incorporating all your feedback into our broader roadmap that I hope to share with everyone

5) I am going to leave the poll open and as more people fill it out, will update the team!

Okay enough of my rambling, there was just so much incredible information over the last week that I wanted to make sure to capture it all! The poll wound up being a fantastic way to gauge feedback from the team and make sure that what we are building is relevant. I want to incorporate polls into our growth a much as I can, so we can create this community together. While I might have launched this solo, only all of us together can grow it! I promise to make sure everyone's voice is heard.

Hope everyone has an incredible week and as always, ping me if you have any questions, and keep an eye out for our first community event!
