Our MARKET: Our market consists of the same market that Beach Body products aim for. We are targeting the fitness junkie that attends fitness competitions like Ironman, Tough Mudder, Triathlons, etc. There are just under 100,000 gyms, personal trainers, and fitness DVDS, however…….all of them are based on other people’s time OR you have to watch a video of someone else. We are now solving that entire market’s problem by allowing them to workout under their own conditions, no one else’s. Our interval training uses 5 different combos (two exercises per combo), lasting 6 minutes each for a total body workout of 30 minutes. There are 30 different days of workouts. That is where we get the “30 workouts, 30 minutes per day, for 30 days”.

People cannot do full body workout on their OWN time, with their OWN music, or in 30 minutes....UNTIL NOW. With HiiT 30 we cater to all people wanting to be more fit and burn fat with a fitness app that gives you an intense total body workout within 30 minutes that has NO limitations!

Why we are UNIQUE: Other fitness apps require you to watch the instructor workout or you have to read their exercise description. Most fitness apps also require you to listen to the instructor speak and/or have to listen to THEIR selection of music. We are the only fitness app that allows you to workout WITHOUT having to actually watch your phone/iPad/or laptop. We also allow you to listen to YOUR OWN music. However, we are not just differentiating ourselves from the competition by the aforementioned feature; we are also using a unique way of marketing. Our team will market our app as a "challenge" or “competition”, rather than just another fitness program. We decided on this marketing route because there are many fitness programs out there that are easily defeated and overlooked within the vast competition. However, we noticed that the fitness programs that stand out and maintain longevity are the competitions, such as IRONMAN, Triathlons, Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, etc. This marketing mindset manifested the "HiiT 30 Challenge". That way when our consumers finish the 30 day challenge they will now be a part of an ELITE COMMUNITY, like that of Ironman finishers. They will also have the ability to share their fitness progress and success on social media sources, such as Facebook and Twitter.

President of the University of Tampa Entrepreneurship Association As an athlete and personal trainer, he was inspired to take his fitness to the next level with no limitations, which prompted him to help create the HiiT 30 mobile fitness application. TIMELINE of development: The Alpha version of the app is 100% complete and fully functioning on iOS (iPhone operating system). The Prototype 1 (Beta Version 1) will be released on May 15th for testing. We plan for University of Tampa’s Dr. Jacob Wilson to conduct a research experiment, as well as have 50 friends and family test it out to provide us with constructive criticism and feedback so we can make improvements. Dr. Jacob Wilson is with the Allied Health department at the University of Tampa. He has performed fitness testing for the Tampa Bay Lightning and Gatorade. Our team has met with him to see if he will perform a research experiment on our product. By testing the effectiveness of the workout we will be able to use that scientific data for marketing and credibility purposes. Dr. Wilson will allow the project to start on June 1st. Then we will release Prototype 2 (Beta Version 2) on July 15th and again have friends and family test it out and provide us with feedback to make improvements. Then we will release Prototype 3 (Beta Version 3) on September 15th and again have friends and family test it out and provide us with feedback to make improvements. Then we will release Prototype 4 (Official version 1 for Apple) on November 15th because this is when consumers begin to think about their New Years Resolutions.
