Your Prioritized MVP Roadmap

Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.

Must Have

Launch blockers — build these first

Member profiles, membership tiers, freeze/cancel/upgrade flows, and attendance history

Define classes with capacity, instructor, and recurrence. Members book online.

Monthly/annual plans with pause, upgrade, cancellation, and dunning logic

Member QR code on phone. Scan at door to check in and verify active membership.

Week 1 priority 4 items

Should Have

High value — ship in week 2

Book 1-on-1 sessions with trainers. Track session packages and remaining credits.

If class is full, join waitlist. Auto-notify and assign when spot opens.

Week 2 priority 2 items

Nice to Have

Post-launch polish and extras

Post-launch 0 items

Why this MVP scope works

This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:

🎯

Solves the core problem Gym owners, fitness studio operators, and personal trainers face every day

🔄

Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome

💰

Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay

📊

Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2

🚀

Can be shipped in 2–3 weeks with LaraCopilot

The MVP Philosophy

"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."

For a Gym & Fitness Platform, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
