Show HN: Maximus Adonis – A Fitter You is a text message away

On the list of who you should share your cell phone number with, I believe a personal trainer would make the cut, but just barely. There is a gap in the fitness market between X) working out with no knowledge and Y) having a personal trainer with you in the gym. I would like this service to bridge the gap between X->Y.

Maximus Adonis is a “app-less” service that a user interacts with via text message. A user 1) plans a workout 2) works out 3) logs the workout 3) reviews their workout data for insight and repeats the process. Steps 1-3 can be driven by the Maximus Adonis personal trainer.

Today I am showing you the workout planner section of the site but I am open to feedback on everything.

The workout planner kicks an email off to the user with an embedded calendar invitation. On a computer, adding the invitation to a calendar works pretty well. From a smart phone, not so much.

As the time of the planned workout gets closer, the user will be sent a workout reminder via text message, which is where I believe the value of the service begins. I think that knowing a human is going to see whether or not you logged your workout will increase your commitment to actually work out.
