How the product evolved

  1. 01 Film

    Master instructors

    Classes shot on location in Los Angeles by Spinning master instructors.

  2. 02 Deliver

    iOS and Android

    One class library streamed to subscribers on both platforms.

  3. 03 Retain

    Subscribers stay

    A large increase in the subscriber base with low churn.

The challenge

Spinning wanted its instructors, bikes, and members connected through one workout product that works outside the studio.

The classes had to reach subscribers on both iOS and Android and stay inexpensive to run.

Our approach

  • Ship the same class library on two mobile platforms without a separate production process for each.
  • Keep the product easy to use and cheap to maintain.

Join.To.IT built the cross-platform product that brings the filmed classes to subscribers.

What we built

  • On-demand indoor cycling classes filmed by Spinning master instructors.
  • iOS and Android applications for subscribers.

Results

  • Henry Cho, Digital Product Manager at Spinning, reported a very large increase in the subscriber base and low churn.
  • He also described the cost of maintenance as extremely low.

The project was to create a video on demand service for in-door cycling classes filmed by Spinning Master Instructors. These classes are shot on location in Los Angeles and delivered to subscribers via iOS and Android applications. The app has seen very large increase in subscriber base and low churn. Ease of use and cost of maintenance are extremely low.
