# Build an AI-Powered Personal Training Studio Management App — MVP
## Project Overview
We are looking for an experienced **Full-Stack Developer / App Development Team** to build the MVP of **Ulpha Coaching OS**, an AI-powered coaching and studio management platform designed for in-person personal training studios.
This is **not simply a workout tracking app**.
The goal is to create a centralized operating system connecting **studio owners, personal trainers and clients**, while using AI to improve coaching quality, client accountability, progress tracking and studio operations.
We are initially looking to build a scalable MVP, with the potential for continued development and a long-term partnership.
## User Roles
The application will initially support three main user types:
### 1. Studio Owner / Admin
Owners should be able to:
* Manage trainers and clients
* Assign clients to trainers
* View active clients
* Monitor attendance
* Review trainer activity
* View client progress
* View studio performance dashboards
* Access monthly reports
* Review important alerts and insights
### 2. Trainer
Trainers should be able to:
* View daily clients/sessions
* Access complete client profiles
* Review client goals and limitations
* Create and assign workout programs
* Log workout sessions
* Record sets, reps, weights and RPE
* Record pain/client feedback
* Add coaching notes
* Substitute exercises and record the reason
* View client progress
* Complete assessments
* Receive AI-generated session summaries and coaching suggestions
### 3. Client
Clients should have a simple interface allowing them to:
* View their program
* View upcoming sessions
* Review completed workouts
* Track progress
* View attendance
* View goals
* View achievements
* Receive trainer instructions
* Receive reminders
* View monthly progress reports
---
# Core MVP Features
## Authentication & User Management
* Secure login
* Password reset
* Owner, trainer and client accounts
* Role-based permissions
* Trainer/client assignments
* Studio-level user management
## Client Profiles
Each client profile should contain:
* Basic information
* Goals
* Relevant health/injury information
* Coaching limitations
* Assessments
* Progress
* Attendance
* Programs
* Workout/session history
* Trainer notes
## Exercise Library & Program Builder
Trainers should be able to:
* Create exercises
* Search exercise library
* Create workout programs
* Add exercises to programs
* Define sets/reps
* Weight/load
* RPE
* Tempo
* Rest period
* Exercise instructions
* Alternatives/substitutions
* Assign programs to clients
* Duplicate programs
* Maintain program history
## Session Logging
This is one of the most important parts of the application.
During a training session, trainers should quickly be able to record:
* Exercise
* Sets
* Repetitions
* Weight
* RPE
* Pain/discomfort
* Completed/skipped exercises
* Exercise substitutions
* Reason for substitution
* Client feedback
* Coaching notes
The interface must be **fast and mobile-friendly**, as trainers will use it while actively coaching clients.
## Assessments & Progress Tracking
Support tracking of:
* Weight
* Body measurements
* Strength
* Mobility
* Cardiovascular fitness
* Progress photos
* Goals
* Assessment dates
Historical data should be displayed visually so trainers and clients can understand progress over time.
## Attendance
Track:
* Scheduled sessions
* Completed sessions
* Cancelled sessions
* Missed sessions
* Attendance percentage/history
## AI Integration
We want to integrate an AI API into the platform.
For the MVP, AI should primarily be used for:
### AI Session Summary
After a session, AI can review session information and generate a concise summary.
### AI Trainer Feedback
AI reviews:
* Program goals
* Session notes
* Exercise substitutions
* Client history
* Recent progress
It can then provide educational suggestions to the trainer.
**AI should assist the trainer, not make final coaching decisions.**
### AI Progress Reports
Generate monthly client reports including:
* Attendance
* Progress
* Strength improvements
* Achievements
* Important observations
* Coach recommendations
* Suggested focus for the next month
All AI recommendations should be reviewable by the trainer before being shared with the client.
## Dashboards & Reporting
### Owner Dashboard
Show important studio information such as:
* Active clients
* Active trainers
* Sessions completed
* Attendance
* Client activity
* Assessment completion
* Trainer activity
* Basic retention indicators
### Trainer Dashboard
Show:
* Today's clients/sessions
* Pending assessments
* Follow-up requirements
* Recent client activity
* Client progress
* AI recommendations
### Client Dashboard
Show:
* Current program
* Recent workouts
* Progress
* Attendance
* Goals
* Achievements
* Latest report

# Technical Expectations
We are open to recommendations regarding the technology stack.
The application should, however, be:

* API-ready
* Designed to support future native mobile apps
* Designed so multiple studios/locations can eventually be supported
* Built with proper role-based access control
* Designed with secure handling of sensitive client information
* Properly documented
The database architecture should be designed carefully because client/session/program data will become the foundation for future AI capabilities.
