The Squads app was created to address the challenge of maintaining motivation for fitness and wellness activities. The founder, Phil Eligio, recognized that keeping fit and active can be difficult when attempted alone. The app was designed to connect people with shared interests and goals, thereby fostering a sense of community and mutual motivation. The challenge was not only to create a platform that could facilitate these connections, but also to empower professional fitness and wellness influencers to build and monetize their followings. The app needed to be user-friendly, engaging, and capable of integrating with third-party services to enhance its functionality.

The Squads app was built using Bubble's no-code framework, which allowed for easy integration of third-party services and rapid development. Users are onboarded by answering a few questions to enrich their profile, which is then used to tailor their experience and recommendations. The app features an online chat functionality, allowing users to 'warm-up' to their Squad of potential event participants. Squads can create events for members to participate in, and members can access this information in a structured way and receive reminders to motivate participation. As the understanding of the userbase grows, the plan is to integrate layers of artificial intelligence to understand what drives users to engage, using this insight to present better recommendations. The app was soft-launched in September after a 6-week initial development period.
