Alex wakes up the next morning feeling refreshed. He had been extremely productive the last couple days and felt like he was in good shape for the store opening in two days on Saturday. Alex washed up and made himself some scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. He then decided to walk down to the beach and relax for a couple hours while he waited for the system to finish the renovation of the fitness center.
Since the store is still being renovated, Alex decides to use the door in the living room that opens outside the building on the side of the house. He then walks down the outdoor staircase that ends next to the sidewalk at the front of the building.
Looking at the front of the store Alex realizes that the floor-to-ceiling windows have already been installed but appear to be covered in some kind of dark film that makes it impossible to see past it currently. Directly above the window is the brand new FitTech sign in all its glory.
“Zara, the front entrance of the store looks great! Will the system still be able to finish the renovation around noon today?” Alex’s voice echoes in his mind.
Zara responds, [Yes, Alex. The system is on track to finish the renovation around noon today. All the equipment and the AI Fitness Instructor have already been set up, and the system is currently running a final check to ensure everything is in working order. Once the renovation is complete, you will receive a notification and can then enter the store for inspection.]
Alex nods his head, feeling relieved that everything is on track. He then walks down to the beach to relax for a couple of hours, waiting for the renovation to finish.
As Alex walks down to the beach, he takes in the beautiful scenery around him. The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and there’s a gentle breeze blowing in from the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore is soothing, and he feels a sense of peace and calm wash over him.
He finds a spot on the sand and lays out his towel. Alex then lies down on his back, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, letting the salty air fill his lungs.
As he relaxes, Alex’s mind begins to wander. He thinks about the grand re-opening of his fitness center and all the work he’s put into it. He feels a sense of pride and accomplishment knowing that he’s created something that will help people live healthier lives.
But he also feels a sense of nervousness and uncertainty. Will people be interested in his new pricing model? Will they see the value in the AI Fitness Instructor and be willing to pay more for the higher tier membership? These questions swirl around in his mind, causing a sense of anxiety to build within him.
To calm his nerves, Alex reminds himself of all the magical things the system is capable of. His fitness center will be able to provide real tangible results to its members in a much faster time-frame than in other gyms. Especially with the help of the AI Fitness Instructor that would be able to double the training results of each workout, he couldn’t imagine his customers being unhappy with it.
Feeling reassured, Alex takes another deep breath and relaxes even further. He decides to enjoy the rest of his time on the beach, letting go of any worries or doubts. After all, he’s done everything he can to ensure the success of his fitness center. All that’s left to do now is wait renovation to complete and then create the FitTech social media accounts.
After relaxing and people-watching for a few hours Alex suddenly hears the sound he’s been waiting for, [Store renovation complete.]
Alex jumps up from his spot on the beach, feeling a sudden rush of excitement and nerves. He quickly makes his way back to the fitness center, eager to see the finished product.
As he approaches the store, he notices that the dark film has been removed from the windows, revealing the bright and spacious interior of the fitness center. He can see the front desk, built in his favorite minimalist style and shelves of [Protein Powder – Common] in various flavors including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and coffee. The main area of the fitness center is divided into various zones with his current equipment placed spaciously in their rightful places. He doesn’t have much equipment currently so there is plenty of room for further growth in the future.
Along the back wall of the fitness center 4 spacious rooms are present. Two of the rooms are designated for future class offerings and the other two rooms are locker rooms for men and women, fully equipped with showers, bathrooms, and lockers to store and change their clothing.
Walking to the center of the space, Alex takes a moment to fully take in the scene. He is overwhelmed with a sense of pride and accomplishment, seeing his vision come to life before his eyes. The lighting is perfect, not too bright or too dim, and the air is clean and refreshing with a hint of lavender scent. The sound system is playing motivational music in the background, enhancing the overall ambiance of the fitness center.
Alex walks towards the AI Fitness Instructor in the center of the space. It is a sleek and modern device, looking like a cross between Baymax and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, waiting to assist him and his customers. He approaches the device and greets it with a smile, “Hello there.”
The AI Fitness Instructor greets Alex in a friendly and enthusiastic voice, “Hello! I’m ready to help you achieve your fitness goals. To begin initial health scan, please present your FitTech Membership card.”
Realizing he doesn’t have a membership card yet, Alex returns to the front desk, looking for the device that will create membership cards.
At the front desk, Alex spots a small kiosk labeled “FitTech Membership Registration”. He approaches it and sees that there are simple instructions on the screen guiding him through the process of creating his membership card.
Alex follows the instructions and inputs his personal information, such as his name, contact information, and emergency contact. As the store owner, he gives himself free lifetime T1 membership. Looking through the interface, he realizes that customers will be able to modify their membership through this kiosk as well as add classes and submit payment through cash, credit/debit card, or check. Once he finishes the registration process, the kiosk prints out a sleek and modern black membership card with his photo and membership details.
Feeling excited and eager to try out the AI Fitness Instructor, Alex walks back with his membership card in hand. He presents the card to the AI, and it scans it quickly, welcoming him back and asking if he’s ready to begin his initial health scan.
Alex nods eagerly, and the AI Fitness Instructor begins the scan. It uses advanced technology to measure his body composition, including his body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water weight. It also asks him a series of questions about his lifestyle and fitness goals to create a personalized fitness plan tailored to his needs.
Once the scan is complete, the AI Fitness Instructor presents Alex with his results and fitness plan on a large screen that appears on the middle of its chest. It includes recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, all customized to help him achieve his specific fitness goals.
As Alex looks at his personalized fitness plan on the screen, he can’t help but feel impressed by the level of detail and accuracy that the AI Fitness Instructor has provided. He takes a few moments to read through the plan, noting the specific exercises and dietary recommendations that have been tailored to his needs.
As he finishes reading, the AI Fitness Instructor prompts him to download the FitTech app, which will help him track his progress and stay motivated on his fitness journey. Alex quickly takes out his phone and scans the QR code on the screen, downloading the app in just a few seconds.
The app is sleek and user-friendly, with a variety of features that Alex can use to enhance his fitness experience. It includes a personalized workout plan which can communicate with the user in real-time using earbuds or headphones with microphones attached, a nutrition tracker, and a community forum where he can connect with other fitness enthusiasts and get advice and support.
After testing the AI Fitness Instructor, Alex decides it’s time to take some photos and videos to start promoting FitTech. Excited to promote his new fitness center, Alex takes out his phone and starts taking photos and videos of the different areas and equipment in the gym. He takes care to capture the sleek design and modern features of the gym, as well as the friendly and helpful AI Fitness Instructor.
He also takes a few videos of himself working out, showcasing some of the exercises recommended in his personalized fitness plan. He makes sure to highlight the ease of use of the FitTech app, showing how it tracks his progress and provides real-time feedback during his workouts. He also makes sure to take some photo’s of the floor-to-ceiling windows, showing the view of the beach and the pier in the distance as well as the sleek exterior of the store and the FitTech sign.
With photos and videos in hand, Alex heads back upstairs to create social media accounts for FitTech. Since his target customers are adults, he decides to focus on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Alex starts by creating a Facebook page for FitTech, using some of the photos and videos he took earlier to create an eye-catching profile picture and cover photo. He adds a description of the gym and its unique features, emphasizing the advanced technology and personalized fitness plans offered by the AI Fitness Instructor. He also clearly indicates the pricing model as well as the grand opening promotion.
Next, he creates a Twitter account for FitTech and begins tweeting about the gym’s grand opening promotion, top of the line equipment, and high-tech AI. He also uses Twitter to connect with other fitness enthusiasts and influencers, hoping to expand the gym’s reach and attract more customers.
Finally, Alex creates an Instagram account for FitTech and starts posting photos and videos of the gym, the AI Fitness Instructor, and his equipment demonstration videos. He uses hashtags like #fitnessmotivation, #workoutgoals, and #fitspo to attract followers and promote the gym’s unique features and personalized approach to fitness.
It’s practically dinnertime at this point so Alex decides it’s a good time to stop. He opens the fridge and realizes there isn’t much left as he hasn’t gone shopping in a few days. With a shrug of his shoulders and acknowledging that he’s basically useless in the kitchen anyway he grabs some milk and cereal and eats dinner, all the while wishing Kaitlyn was there to save him from himself.
Thinking about his final preparations, Alex realizes there isn’t much left for him to do. With his current lack of funds, it doesn’t make sense for him to hire a receptionist so he will be manning the front desk himself when the store opens. With the store being created by the [Interdimensional Store System] he doesn’t have to worry about security, cleaning, or equipment maintenance, which will save him a lot of time and money. Other than checking up on the social media accounts periodically, there really isn’t much else at this point other than to wait.
Tomorrow is Friday and his mother will be returning in the afternoon from his Aunt Sally’s place in San Diego and the following day will be the Grand Re-opening of the restaurant turned fitness center FitTech. “I wonder what mom will think about all the changes when she see’s it tomorrow,” Alex thinks to himself. Alex flips through his phone and watches TV before he finally calls it a night and takes a shower before heading to bed.
