Day 2 Canvas
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
What We Thought• Both men and women would be interested• Flexible hours would be an attractive• People with long commute would be attracted to the service• Stay at home mothers and mothers with infants would be a large user group• Instructors would be interested in the service (more revenue, customers, etc.)
What We’ve Learned, thus far• Females are interested, far more than males, and aged 18 to 40 (range will probably
be narrowed, so far we’ve mainly spoken to late 20’s / early 30’s)• Personalized instruction at a cheaper price seems to resonate with the enthusiastic
• Like the idea of some sort of real time feedback• Accountability is a major value proposition for users• Current hardcore fitness fanatics (i.e. 4+ intense sessions per week, including cross
fit) are not users of this services, they A) believe they know what to do and/or B) the exercise (cross fit) isn’t suitable to online sessions (need space, spotter, etc.))
• People who have long commutes to work aren’t necessarily interested because of the long commute to work, but rather are interested if they have a long commute to the gym
• Only spoken with one so far, but she actually like going to the gym as it was a chance for her to get out of the house and have some social interaction with the outside world (note: gym had a baby sitter)

Day 3 Canvas
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
What We Thought (after day 1 / 2)• Flexible hours would be an attractive• After day 1 / 2, we didn’t think long commuters would be interested• Stay at home mothers and mothers with infants would be a large user group• Women, more than men, would be the most interested
What We’ve Learned, thus far• Potential users seem to make less than $250k (already using personal trainers
regularly)• Cost and Time / Schedule Flexibility are almost equally important, both seem to be
the primary drivers• Users like the idea of some sort of real time feedback / interaction, beyond what
they receive in a class• Users with busy schedules / odd hours that want personal instruction, but can’t
find a schedule that works• People with commute times between 20 and 45 minutes do not seem to be users (7
out of 10 said no!).• Mixed reviews from mothers w/ infants and stay at home moms. Does not seem to
be a driver given our current sample base

What We Thought (after day 3)• Males would not be interested• Would mainly be for not heavily trained services (i.e. Yoga, Nutritionist, Pilates, etc).• Service would not be for kids
What We’ve Learned, thus far• Middle aged men who want to learn yoga, but are embarrassed to go to classes are
interested.• Middle aged women in suburbia are interested• Professional Therapists

Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
What kind of company are we:Start up that is searching for a product / market fit and for which customers segments that fit occurs; once identified, if we can attract a sufficient number of customers in a profitable and repeatable manner.
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
Proposed Hypothesis: The largest category of users for yoga/pilates will be females aged 18-44. Experiment: An email will be sent to distribution list from our network that says the following: “We are hosting one on one personal yoga sessions via the computer from your home on Thursday at a time of your choice for $20, we have only 5 spots available, first come first serve.” We will likely send this email out multiple times with different prices. Pass/Fail: a complete fail would be if no one responds at any price level. A fail of our hypothesis (the user group is female) but not a complete fail would be if the majority of the responders is not female aged 18-44.
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
Proposed Hypothesis: The average person would think $20 is inexpensive for this service compared with all alternatives. Experiment: Using the previously described experiment but sending only to distribution list of yoga users. Pass/Fail: if the number of responders for $20 is much lower than $10 or the number of responders at $30 is not different from $20 our hypothesis is wrong.
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
Proposed Hypothesis: The farther a person has to travel to go to a gym or training session, the more appealing it is to work out from home via computer. Experiment: Using a sample of people from launch.com, we will ask each person to make a choice between two options: a one on one yoga session with an instructor in person and a session via the computer with the same trainer. We will vary the amounts of time it will take to get to the personal trainer along with varying costs for each option. Pass/Fail: if there is a correlation with both the difference one is willing to pay for computer training and commute to gym as well as absolute amount to paid for in home training it will be a pass. If there is no correlation (or negative) it will be a fail.
Lean Launch Pad 2013.08.31
Proposed Hypothesis: If a person likes taking classes from a specific trainer, he/she will be more likely to take an online class with that trainer. Experiment: Host a free yoga session in one of the parks in NYC. After the class, ask each participant if they would like to book an online session (and pay) with the trainer. If they say yes, ask if they would prefer to book an online session with a different trainer at a slightly lower price point.
Pass/Fail: A fail would be if no participants in the class are willing to pay for a follow up session or if the majority of people willing to take the session would prefer a slightly lower price for an unknown person.
