Project Overview

Athletica is a live personal-training platform that brings certified trainers to users anywhere. Members sign up in seconds, set their preferred training times and intensity, and train in live virtual sessions with real-time feedback and form correction. Stacknyu delivered the complete experience — from onboarding and secure checkout to a personalised dashboard for tracking workouts, progress and nutrition — on a modern SvelteKit, PocketBase and Go stack.

Challenges & Objectives

1. Friction-Free Onboarding
   • Challenge: Signing up for an online fitness platform should not require lengthy forms or a desktop-only flow.
   • Objective: Enable quick sign-up with email, phone or social login, followed by simple preference-setting for training times and workout intensity.
2. Secure and Transparent Payments
   • Challenge: Subscriptions involve recurring plans and add-ons, and users need to trust the payment flow.
   • Objective: Build a secure checkout supporting cards, UPI and wallets with 256-bit encryption, clear pricing, a refund policy and cancel-anytime flexibility.
3. Progress Tracking That Motivates
   • Challenge: Users need more than video calls to stay engaged; they need to see their progress.
   • Objective: Create a dashboard with workout history, visual progress analytics, an interactive calendar and profile metrics such as weight, height and age.

Our Approach

1. Modern SvelteKit Frontend
   • We built the platform with SvelteKit, keeping the interface fast and responsive across devices, with Tailwind CSS for a polished, consistent design system.
2. PocketBase and Go Backend
   • PocketBase, built on Go, powers authentication, user data and subscriptions, while a Node server acts as the scheduling API — creating Google Calendar events with Meet links for live training sessions.
3. Payments and Subscriptions
   • We built secure card, UPI and wallet checkout on PayPal's billing engine, then structured the business around transparent subscription tiers — from a ₹99/month entry plan up to ₹249/month premium coaching — with à-la-carte add-ons such as progress assessments, yoga and recovery sessions, plus a clear refund policy and cancel-anytime flexibility.
4. Performance-First Deployment
   • The platform is deployed on Cloudflare Pages with a serverless-friendly architecture for reliable global performance.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: SvelteKit, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for a fast, responsive member experience.
• Backend: PocketBase (Go) for data, auth and subscriptions, with a Node server for the Google Calendar scheduling API.
• Payments: Secure PayPal-backed checkout for card, UPI and wallet payments with 256-bit encryption.
• Deployment: Cloudflare Pages for global, low-latency delivery.

Outcome

Athletica launched as an end-to-end personal-training platform where members can discover certified trainers, choose flexible plans — from starter sessions to premium coaching — and track their journey through a personalised dashboard. The result is a smooth, motivating fitness experience that works from anywhere, and a foundation the business can extend with new trainers, plans and features.
