Why Fitness & Workout App development is hard to get right
Video streaming for workout content requires proper infrastructure โ not just uploading to S3
In-app subscriptions on iOS and Android have complex receipt validation โ easy to get wrong
Health data integration (Apple Health, Google Fit) requires specific entitlements and privacy handling
Workout tracking with real-time feedback (rep counting, timer) needs careful mobile UX design

Frequently asked questions
How do you handle video content?
We use Mux โ the same video infrastructure used by Peloton and Mirror. Videos are transcoded automatically to multiple qualities, streamed adaptively, and cached at CDN edge. No buffering, no quality issues.
How do in-app subscriptions work on iOS and Android?
RevenueCat abstracts the complexity of StoreKit (iOS) and Google Play Billing (Android) into a single API. It handles receipt validation, trial periods, and subscription analytics. We configure this as part of every fitness app build.
Can you build a Peloton / Mirror-style connected fitness app?
We can build the software side โ app, content management, subscription billing. Hardware integration requires separate hardware engineering. For software-only fitness platforms, we're a strong fit.
