Hi Product Hunt! :wave:
What is this all about? Imagine SocialBoat as a place where fitness creators you love and follow on social media can host a private community. A place where they can take live classes, host challenges & most of all transform thousands of lives driving real impact with their talent.
So, what is the story behind SocialBoat? 5 years ago, I was in Bangalore working as a Software Dev. And like many 'fitness dreamers' used to dream of getting a perfect physique. However, then we would have a Friday night, then a Saturday night and any workout that I did during the week was at best nullified. :sweat_smile:
One day a friend of mine bet $1000 that I couldn't run a 5k if I had the entire day. It felt like a challenge, so I re-challenged him that in 6 months we race & whoever finishes the 5k faster wins the prize, and if none of us can finish it, we both give $1000 to charity.
The stakes were set, challenge was up and we started our plan. Initially began with Nike Run App, then Strava, then loads of on demand content on YouTube, Instagram. I realised -
1. There is plethora of awesome content out there for anyone who wants to be fit. The playbook to be fit is an open secret. Creators on YouTube & Instagram are an inspiration for people to look upto and learn from. 2. Most people need urgency. A deadline, goal and a plan of action to achieve their fitness goal 3. People you know and care about are the biggest motivators
We both informally kept checking in and in 6 months - my 5k time went from:
Month 1 - I will die doing this Month 2 - 45 minutes ... Month 6 - 20 minutes flat!
This experience was a revelation. Why can't we have a product where people have the same gamified experience of fitness learning from people we get inspired from. In my journey I loved content from shalaneflanagan, courtneydauwalter & tommy_rivs.
Imagine a place where creators can host such fitness experiences for people. A combination of on demand, community and live classes. Where people strive for a goal. The community creates a healthy learning atmosphere and most of all -
Is able to transform hundreds of thousands of lives.
