So you're charging me to have my friends encourage me to work out? I don't understand what I'd be paying for. I could simply ask my friends to encourage me.

That said, I don't think it's a bad idea, but a subscription might not be the right way to monetize it. Gyms might have affiliate programs of some kind, or be willing to pay for leads.

One more thought, a free iphone/android app that lets people easily and quickly let you know they worked out would probably be good marketing.

qbprogeron Ask HN: What charts javascript library to use?

Flot is worth a shot. There may be a python library to generate is server side. When I looked into it, I kept going back and forth between javascript charts vs images. I ended up going with images because I didn't really need dynamic charts. There were also features missing from many. IIRC, Flot couldn't add a title to the x/y axis at the time I was looking at it.
