UBQFIT is a new app that connects fitness trainers and trainees for video-based workout sessions. The app was designed to benefit both trainers and trainees alike by empowering both parties to meet their goals. The app integrates with Apple Watch and the Apple Workouts, and includes gamification features and leaderboards to help users set and meet goals.
Trainees can get interactive 1-on-1 coaching and support from an accepting fitness community. Trainers, on the other hand, can set their own pricing for group and individual sessions, including a la carte or subscription, and create a calendar of their group sessions and one-on-one availability. In addition, trainers also have the option to upload pre-recorded content and charge for these on-demand sessions as they please.
