Quick facts

Start-up cost

Rough estimate for the first 90 days, not financial advice.
First 3 steps
  1. Interview 10 office workers near your chosen transit hub about their workout habits, time limits and what they would pay.
  2. Book 3 free trial sessions at a local studio that uses heart-rate displays to test the experience and meet potential coaches.
  3. Post a waitlist page with the 5-class intro pack at $49 and share it with nearby offices and commuter groups.

The Pitch

Pulse Hour Half is a 30-minute group interval training studio in a transit-hub storefront, where every member's live heart rate glows on a wall-sized screen and the room pushes each other into the red zone together. Classes run at 6:30, 7:15, 12:15, 17:30 and 18:15, so you can sweat hard on the way to or from the office, then rinse in a fast shower and be out the door. Coaches call the intervals while the leaderboard of effort, not speed or size, turns each burst into a quiet competition, and a rented chest strap is included at no charge (or keep your own monitor for $69 one time). Try it with a 5-class intro pack for $49, then join as an Unlimited member at $129 per month (about $1,548 per year) or step up to Premium at $159 per month for progress reports and monthly effort-leaderboard events, while employers can sponsor teams at $109 per employee per month ($1,308 per employee per year) with no setup fee.

For Whom

Maya, a 33-year-old marketing manager who commutes past the studio on her way to a downtown office, wants a hard, sweaty workout but can't spare 90 minutes for a gym trip plus showers, so she currently drags herself through solo treadmill sessions she cuts short, or skips exercise on busy days, and craves the push of a room full of people and a screen that proves she gave it everything in just 30 minutes.

Security & Threat Model

Sensitive data
Live and historical heart-rate readings per memberMember identity linked to class attendance and timesEmployer-sponsored membership roster and usagePayment tokens and billing history via processorSelf-reported age, weight, and health conditions
Roles & permissions
Member — Book classes, view own progress and billing, set screen display name or alias, opt out of leaderboard.
Coach — See live room heart rates during assigned class only; cannot view history, billing or health intake.
Employer Admin — Add or remove employees, view seat counts and billing; no access to individual attendance or heart-rate data.
Studio Manager — Manage schedules, memberships, refunds and strap inventory; health data access is logged and restricted.
Abuse cases
⚠ Members' heart rates and full names are displayed publicly on the wall screen, exposing health data and embarrassing or identifying people to onlookers.
Mitigation
Default to alias or initials, per-member opt-out of screen display, blur or limit the screen from street view, and never show historical or medical data.
⚠ A member with a cardiac condition overexerts, or the display pushes people into unsafe zones, creating injury and liability.
Mitigation
Require a health screening before the first class, cap max-zone alerts by age, have coaches act on sustained high readings, and let members mute leaderboard competition.
⚠ Employers pressure staff or infer health and attendance from sponsored-pass data, enabling discrimination or surveillance.
Mitigation
Give employers only aggregate seat counts and billing, require employee consent to enroll, and block per-person attendance or heart-rate exports to employer accounts.
⚠ Strap spoofing or sharing lets someone fake effort on the leaderboard or attach readings to another member's profile.
Mitigation
Bind strap ID to the member at check-in, reject duplicate IDs in one class, flag physiologically implausible readings, and exclude flagged scores from events.
⚠ Shared membership credentials or ex-employee corporate seats allow free or unauthorized access and billing fraud.
Mitigation
Verify identity at check-in via QR code plus a photo on file, revoke corporate seats on employer removal, and limit one booking per member per slot.
Compliance
Health-adjacent data under state privacy laws (e.g., Washington My Health My Data, CCPA/CPRA), GDPR if serving EU residents, and PCI via hosted checkout; not HIPAA as the studio is not a covered entity.
Must pass before launch
☐ A member who opts out of screen display never appears by name or alias on the wall screen or any leaderboard, verified in a live class test.
☐ An Employer Admin API request for an employee's attendance or heart-rate history returns 403, while aggregate seat counts return successfully.
☐ Removing an employee from a corporate roster revokes their sponsored booking access within one minute and prevents new bookings.
☐ A coach account cannot access any heart-rate data or member health intake outside the class they are currently assigned to.
