The opportunity I see here is a self-service fitness is highly on the rise. I d like to be a part of it making fitness routines more convenient. My solution is to provide a phone app that covers fitness plans that will equip the customer with knowledge nutrition facts to fit their fitness plan routines, also a schedule designed and created by customers themselves. Customers Differentiators Extras My target customers are single parents, busy people, people who love to travel, and people who are too shy for a gym or a trainer. Most fitness apps fail because people get bored. I will provide choices of different workout plans. I also will provide nutritional catalogs to fit the fitness plan the users chose. I am young and determined. I have two years experience in both being trained, as well as being a trainer. I am a current facilitator and group trainer for a prison fitness program called Health and Wellness. Marketing Start-up Costs Financials & Extras I will market my business through advertisements such as social media platforms and other apps to reach business men and women who are too busy to go to the gym.

In addition, Gabriel received a certificate of completion from the Quest for Authentic Manhood program. OPPORTUNITY Explanation: Self-service is on the rise. There are apps for everything. People need a personal trainer app on their phone. Can I solve the problem given my skills and personality? Having a personal trainer right off your phone will save people time going to a gym and save money instead of paying a trainer to come to you. Is the customer looking for a more holistic solution than his or her immediate complaint? Just savings on time and money. Do I need to do all of the work myself or can I hire others to help me and still maintain quality? Both. I can hire others to help but I can pretty much do it all myself. Is there growth potential to expand my business, or is this a dying market? It s a new market that is rapidly growing. Technology is a big thing right now. How soon can I get my business up and running? It will take at least one year for sure to get certified so I d say at least 1 years before getting it up and running. Is this something that will take a lot of cash to get started or is it more of a question of hustle? The only thing taking up a lot of cash is the app developer, which will cost $15,000, or I can teach myself to develop and create my app. Is this something I would be proud to share with my family and parole officer? Yes, because there are very few positive ideas I have ever come up with. Is the opportunity (Activity and Start Date) consistent with potential parole restrictions? Yes, because I have made parole I get out in February. Would my business start as a part-time venture or need to be full time? Full-time, because I would have to keep up to date with customers.

7 SOLUTION Explanation: I will save people time and money by providing a 24/7 personal trainer experience in an app. Is what I am offering filling the customer s real need? Yes, time is important as well as health and wellbeing. What are the benefits (not features) that I am providing? Nutrition facts and personal fitness routines to fit customers needs to look and feel great. Why can I do this better than another business (competitor)? I give precise information to get accurate results. I will be certified in nutrition when most of my competitors are not because they didn t take the time to get certified. How will I deliver this better idea to my customers? Advertisement, success stories and social media, fitness events, and fitness magazines. Is my delivery (retail store, home service, etc.) consistent with how I will produce the service (one-day delivery, hand-made products, etc.)? Yes, it is an everyday schedule with individual videos and facts on nutrition. Is my solution consistent with my passion for selling? I am very passionate about what I do and being paid to do what I am passionate about is unbelievable. Is the price of my solution equal to or less than the customer s pain? Less than the pain. Personal trainers charge $75 an hour. I charge $10 a month, that s hours for $10-$15. Is the approximate cost of my solution lower than the price? It takes hours of my time, in return I get $10-$15 from each customer. I can make an hour long video and provide that to several different customers. Do I need a fixed location (Storefront) or is this a mobile business? I only need a small office space to help run the app such as three app technicians and someone to answer the phone Do I offer a guaranty or return policy? I guarantee results but only if you guarantee 100% participation. CUSTOMERS Explanation: I will target people who cannot make it to a gym or refuse to hire a personal trainer.
