| I built FitSaver — an iOS app that imports workout videos and converts them into structured routines you can actually follow. It’s not trying to compete with trainers or AI coaching apps. It solves a simpler problem: people save workouts, but rarely turn them into usable plans. Some interesting things I’ve learned since launching in early January:
Most paying users are 35–55, not 20-somethings.
The biggest pain point isn’t discovering workouts — it’s organizing and following them.
Users describe it as a “workout video compiler,” which wasn’t language I initially used but turned out to be accurate.
Several reviews mention that scrolling at the gym is the real friction. A few actual user quotes: “Other apps just have set workouts that aren’t as customizable as I’d like — this app provides that customization.” “I scroll Instagram all the time and saving workout ideas is a mess. This was super helpful.” “There’s nothing worse than scrolling social media or notes in a busy gym. This solves that problem.” The app is currently search-driven (App Store search is ~60% of downloads), so I’m mostly focused on product and retention rather than paid marketing. Would love feedback on:
Whether this problem resonates outside fitness
If organizing saved content into structured systems is a broader pattern
