Puberty is a developmental process during which a child enters adulthood. Through out it, many changes including physical, emotional & mental occur in the female body. Undoubtedly, this is a hard time in young women’s lives, but there are a few steps you could take to minimize negativity and take care of your body in the process. We, the creators of Fit&Feat understand the problem and one of our main missions is to support adolescence and spread awareness of important issues.
Young adults have clearly expressed emotional and belonging needs. This is the time in their life that shapes their personality, values, and beliefs. It is crucial for teenagers to surround themselves with the right people to assure they have positive influence in their lives as in these ripe ages they are easily persuaded. When creating our platform, we added a feature called “Connect with a Buddy”. Young women could use this to find a gym partner. When conducting surveys among women aged 16-22, we discovered that one of the main problems they experience in the fitness is feeling unsafe and insecure. By “connecting with a buddy” you can not only work out with someone else, which offers a sense of security, but at the same time get to know someone with similar interest and values, which could turn into a life-long friendship.
The physical benefits of working out are countless. Sports help prevent chronic diseases, improve blood pressure and brain function, help control weight and cognitive functions. Furthermore, it holds great benefits for the mental health. Life is a balance between the mind and body, so the gym is the perfect place to achieve this balance. Depression and anxiety are a very common concern with teenagers nowadays. Sports of any kind cause the body to release endorphins, which helps relieve stress and relax the mind. Mental health issues are a very real problem among the youth and it could impact everyone differently, so a healthy coping mechanism that we, the creators of Fit&Feat, preach is fitness.
An essential issue that we considered was spreading awareness on the importance of working out. We care about our customers, and we don’t want to just keep pushing the stigma that you should work out, but explain why you should do so. Therefore, we organize weekly 2-hour workshops on different topics with specialists such as a professional physiotherapist that will advise and answer questions. During these workshops females will be able to learn a lot about how to perform physical exercises correctly and more efficiently. We would also provide nutritional plans and advise based on your personal characteristics such as body structure, height, weight and age because eating healthy and taking care of your body from the inside is just as important. Attending these workshops, you will be surrounded by other girls with whom you can share thoughts and benefit from each other and better your training routine.
Physical health is detrimental for this developmental process. And whereas some children are pushed into sports by their parents from a very young age, others start to participate when they are older and capable of choosing a sport for themselves. We believe that sports should be a part of every young adult’s life and the gym is the perfect place to start your self-care journey. It increases your self-esteem by physical appearance as well as makes you feel involved in a society. In general, sports are a great way to teach positive attitudes about responsibility, discipline, and self-love.
To conclude, we understand that each of our customers has a different background and story. Although, every person has a different reason to work out and go to the gym, the thing that unites us is the desire for personal development and the need for self-actualization. We are in the process of making our app a customizable experience for each to help them to become the best possible version of themselves. An objective for us would be to connect as many people as possible and help them not only sign in for a gym but have the best time while doing something important. We know motivation is not always easy to find, which is why we are always there to help and support you.
The company mission is to stay close to its customers and guide them throughout their journey and help them overcome any difficulties they may face. We believe in our customers goals and we hope they believe in ours.
Your Fit & Feat. team!
