Hi Product Hunt
This is Rahul, Co-Founder @SocialBoat
Today we launch SocialBoat for Women. Motivation to create this came from my mom's (@seema_jain3) fitness journey. I have seen the hardwork and struggles she put in to get fit and how it essentially transformed her life.
Some critical problems that I saw -
1. Lack of time
My mom used to manage the home, and this essentially made her mornings and evenings very busy. Mid day is usually too hot to workout outside and fitness centers are usually closed at this time.
I would see her get up at 5am :sunny: everyday, to go for her quick 30 minute walk.
2. Lack of relevant programs
My mom gained a lot of weight post her pregnancy, and she struggled to find any relevant programs to lose it. Most gyms had male oriented bulk up programs, and fitness classes were usually too intensive for her.
She started learning Yoga from a book, and then Pilates from YouTube videos. She tells me it took her 4 years to gain the confidence she had back in college.
3. Her New Program for women
After her at home transformation, she learnt jazz and hip hop dance, performed at multiple venues around the country and recently started a fitness program for women called - Yogalates. An amalgamation of yoga, pilates and dance for women.
She takes classes on zoom and more than 100 women have joined her program.
Scaling up the concept
Our goal with SocialBoat is to take some of these learnings and make high quality fitness accessible to >100M women around the country.
- A program one can follow from their home
- Is accessible anytime during the day
- Tailored to women specific needs
- Evolves with different life stages
Excited to see how people at ProductHunt find it. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or suggestions!
Thank you
