Creation of the Elevation Review Board

Elevation Fitness now officially has the first member of the exercise and nutrition review board.  Guido Van Ryssegem of Oregon State University’s Athletic Training Program has graciously accepted our offer to lead our review board.  Our team will again meet with Guido within the next two weeks to further develop the board’s ultimate mission, reason for existence, and compensation.  Once these details have been developed, the team will look to fill the remaining four positions on the board.  While it is not set in stone, our current plan is to offer these positions to a Medical Doctor, Physical Therapist, Nutritionist, and an Athletic Trainer.

Second Review of iPhone Application

Our partners at Code-Monkeys Inc. have been most diligently working to help achieve our November release date goal by submitting the second revision of the iPhone application.  While this revision focused primarily on linking the iPhone application to the backend database and not so much on the functionality, it still puts the team one step closer to our objective.  We will finish the second review this weekend, and then move forward with the polishing of the user interface for the next two weeks.

Application Review with 24hour Fitness

Last week Burky Achilles, a Fitness Professional at the Tualatin, Oregon 24hour Fitness Center, and I spend two wonderful hours together reviewing our application and the functionality that our team has developed to enable her and other Fitness Professional to more efficiently and effectively work with their clientele.  While this meeting was scheduled for informational purposes, it is my intention to continue this professional partnership with Burky and her co-workers to ensure that our application hits the pressure points of the professionals and their clientele.  During the review of the iPhone application, Burky identified an additional value added function that our application could perform.  Even though I would love to reveal to the world what Burky’s phenomenal idea was, it will have to wait for the application release.  My lips are sealed.

While we here at Elevation Fitness did get out from behind the computers, there was still plenty of work accomplished over the weekend.

Currently we are gearing up for the review with our advisor on 10th of September and then Guido Van Ryssegem the Coordinator/Clinical Athletic Trainer at Oregon State University on the 11th of September.  As of today, we only have the Sales and Marketing and Operations sections left to finish in the business plan.  It is our hopes that we can finish these by mid afternoon tomorrow so that we can get some sleep on Wednesday night.

We continue to make rapid progress with the UI overhaul of our alpha version of the application.  SightWorks has done a phenomenal job of taking what I thought was a good polished application, and turning the concepts, functionality, and feature sets into works of art.  (Just goes to show you never let and engineer design a user interface.)  My hat is off to their ability to hit the ground running on such a complex project, and not only intelligently challenge our current mindsets but also develop kick butt concepts that take our UI out of this world.  Tomorrow we have a meeting with them to start reviewing the second set of wireframes and review the schedule for the Nov 1st release.

Within the next week, we are anticipating the second and final revision of the iPhone application.  The designers, Code-Monkeys, did a great job of taking our concepts and applying them to the first revision of the application.  I really feel that we are almost there with a high value added application.  Both Dave Schwendiman and I feel that Fitness Professional will love the time saving functionality.

Over the next couple of weeks, Elevation Fitness will be taking some very large steps as an organization; we will be pulling together the business plan and presentation, and hitting the road with intentions of finding venture capital money or corporate investors.  Regardless of the type of funds, this is a very major move for an organization that has been internally funded thus far.

Well, those are the updates for now.  I hope that everyone enjoys their week and remembers to keep their physical, mental, and social wellbeing in balance.  Take care and till next time.
