Creating workouts might seem like a doddle, but having them on paper, in Word or even as a set of spreadsheets actually isn’t very practical. And if you’re a professional trainer, who has to keep track of dozens or even hundreds of workouts for your clients, you’re going to start hating Google Docs and Excel a lot faster than anticipated. So in order to help preserve professional trainer’s sanity and personal brand, the team behind Mogy.Me decided to build a tool that helps them organise and track workouts easily – with the help of key advisors, such as John Cena’s personal trainer – Rob MacIntyre!

The 5-person team based in Zagreb, started the project with the intention of solving business problems that face personal trainers, such as work automation, workout analysis and real-time communication with remote clients.

As Mogy.Me’s Lead developer Vedran Mandić explains for the .Me blog, it’s the personal trainer’s job to design and develop personalised workout plans and programs for their clients:

These programs can last up to weeks and it is a job taking hours and days. For a detailed and personalised approach trainers need to stay in contact with clients all the time to make it the best they can. As clients start training, the trainer should have instant feedback of each workout being performed with a detailed introspection ability.

Mogy.Me tries to solve this problem through an elegant web and mobile app, with which they want to replace, not just organisation tools such as Excel or Google Spreadsheets, but also various communication tools that spread trainers too thin, such as SMS, chat or email. Having all the communication and data in one place is an obvious benefit, one that helps the trainer always have the best overview of each individual client. That is, after all, what the clients are paying for!

What Mogy.Me Offers Its Trainers

The key aspect of Mogy.Me is saving users time on repetitive tasks, so they can apply a program they’ve built with the “Program builder” to not just one, but an entire group or team of athletes – this saves them hours of inputing or at least copy-pasting data into a spreadsheet.

Interestingly enough, the more you use the program builder, the more you can customise workouts. And it’s not just easy setting up workouts for the first time. If an athlete goes off a projected track, you can always edit their program, while Mogy.Me automatically calculates things such as weights based on a predetermined maximum or current ability.

Mogy.Me will, thus, give you all the data you need to know when training people – even remotely. It’s like the trainer and athlete are always in the same room, comparing notes and data in the form of an easy to use mobile app.

The Athletes’ App View

Mogy.Me doesn’t just stop with helping trainers. The actual person that is doing the workouts can use Mogy.Me to review and update his or her personalised workout program on their phone.

In order to make sure the app really makes sense for trainers, Mogy.Me decided to reach out to the best of the best in order to get their input. Mandić proudly notes who they have gotten to help them with developing the project:

The whole app, from the very start, was under the professional guidance of Rob MacIntyre, USA’s well known „Strenght and Conditioning“ trainer. He’s been training olympic champions and well known athlets like John Cena of the WWE industry. His input is inteligently incorporated in the very essence of the app.

It’s a Person-to-Person Industry, So We Chose .ME

Mogy.Me’s Mandić was keen to explain that the fitness industry is built on both personalised content (workout plans, etc.) as well as relationships between the athletes and trainers. Getting a .Me domain name was thus a logical choice to emphasize that personal connection the brand of Mogy.Me has with its users, explained Mandić:

Mogy.Me is the perfect personal digital assitant for the personal trainer, and the .Me domain implies the personalisation aspect of the whole idea. That was aWin-Win solution and a perfect match of course. We are very thrilled and happy that we got it, and that it was waiting just for us and Mogy.Me!

The team hopes that the app will get a lot of trainers interested in using the web and mobile to more easily take care of their athlete’s needs. As Mandić exclusively pointed out for the .Me blog, the first complete, commercial version of Mogy.Me should be out by the end of August! Even before that, you can create your first workout – at Mogy.Me!
