TrainAway
Project idea
TrainAway is a global network of gyms for travelers, which makes workouts during trips convenient and painless.
Target audience
The products are meant to have a global distribution. Still, Europe is first targeted for distribution. The site and apps will have 50,000 users in the first six months with 1000 concurrent users initially.

Development process
After all the preparations were completed, our team started working on the project.
Dealing with financial operations in apps
To ensure secure payment processing and protect customers' sensitive financial information, it was decided to integrate the Stripe payment processor. The app saves the payment history, as well as applies discounts and use bonuses.
Solving the issue of finding and choosing a gym
There is also a really flexible search feature in the app where multiple filters can be applied. Users can search by the name of a gym, by city, or apply category filtration where they choose what type of exercises they prefer, and the app will show them just those places which offer needed services
User acquisition and engagement functionality
Given that the scalability plan is bold, the features aimed at user acquisition and engagement were implemented at once. They were: the ability to invite friends in return for discounts, give a pass as a present to anyone and receive membership-based bonuses. Follow-up features facilitate efficient user retention
