"Everyone else is doing it wrong!"

From 30+ years of working out this seems to be the absolute standard line when it comes to fitness.

I just think the idea of $10 a month is a delusional value proposition when I pay $20 a month for chatGPT4o.

Hey, I appreciate you checking out the app and providing the feedback. If you download the top 20 personal fitness apps in any of the app stores you would see a stark difference. I know because I researched over a 100 apps and websites myself. This difference is not so much in the "standard features", though most lack support and customization capabilities - (PARIAN is still in a very early stage of development and has both), but the major difference is in the quality of workouts - what actually matters. I've spent almost two years researching and refining the PARIAN workout model, and as someone with 11+ years with domain experience - can clearly tell the difference. I can tell you now not only is PARIAN the best personalized workouts builder, but will significantly improve in the coming updates.

Regarding GPT4o, while it's amazing tech that only keeps getting better, PARIAN is an entire comprehensive platform that makes training seamless. To get something comparable out of ChatGPT, you would have to know exactly what you want and spend time prompting it (but if you have the expertise to prompt you're probably not the target dem), and periodically make sure it's not hallucinating. Additionally, we provide workout video tutorials and keep track of your workouts and progress along the way. ChatGPT does not. The $10 PARIAN Plan you mentioned is also a one time payment for the personalized workout program, and is half the price of ChatGPT monthly.
