Wow, thank you for sharing your personal experience and such a thoughtful response. We'll definitely take your concerns into account as we continue to improve the product.

100% agreed that the underlying issue is not knowing what to do, but rather more psychological aspects such as who you spend time with, environmental factors, self-esteem, and discipline. Our medical co-founder Dr. Chang is a psychologist by training and constantly emphasizes this. One direction I'd personally like to see our product go in is increasing our sense of community and what it means to be "Mighty." Much like the strong online community you see from apps like Peloton and Strava, but with more of an angle of shared physical and emotional self-care. As you mentioned, this is not necessarily a technological solution, but rather one of how we create the right culture and environment for our members to succeed.
