What is Aerobica?
Aerobica is a community designed with two objectives in mind:
- Establish a lifestyle of movement
- Maintain a lifestyle of movement
...The Movement Movement
Today, we've created online experiences: aerobica app and on social media (Connect With Us). Tomorrow, we intend to develop IRL.
Who's it for?
We develop features for three personas:
- The Untrained — the last time this group had regular movement was probably in high school during gym/p.e.
- The Detrained — this group has adopted a routine at least once; they've just been on an extended hiatus (for reasons).
-
The Trained — this group is currently moving regularly.
What they all have in common is that they have a desire to move. They might initially be motivated for various reasons, but we hope you eventually find movements you love, make you feel good, and perform for the rest of your life.
Backstory
Having spent many years in the fitness and fitness-adjacent industries, Achilles had been thinking about what kind of online experience he wanted to create. He tried a few different apps with social components to it, and felt something was missing.
People were getting left out on all the fun of the various leaderboards out there. Most had required a high-level of fitness, and there wasn't an metric that factored in diversity of movement.
While ideating he had also been training for a marathon and he'd sustained a couple pivotal injuries:
- The first was a calf injury that forced him to switch up his programming to incorporate Zone 2 running. He had learned about the significance of zones and thresholds, and this got him thinking: "I think there's something here".
- The second was a clavicle fracture that took him out of training for a few weeks. He was bummed, but insisted on it being an opportunity, so he got to work on what at the time was referred to as Aerobic Development Project (hence the namesake). This was the catalyst for starting on a deliverable.
