First Developer Note: Overcoming Barriers to Personalized Fitness Plans


Introducing our first developer note, offering an in-depth look into plan customization, feedback, future updates, and how we’re breaking down barriers to enhance your Infitnite experience by discussing our new three-step customization options and their impact on your journey.


Welcome, Warrior!

This is Master Wizard Walt, your guide by your side on your adventure in Infitnite, the Fitness Fantasy RPG. As the lead designer and sole developer at Infitnite, I have designed everything from our systems, our apps, our training programs, our avatars, our artwork, our UI, and all the technical aspects. Today, I am introducing our first developer note. Our aim is to involve you, the Warrior players, more deeply in the details of our updates, ensuring transparency and bringing you into the decision-making process at Infitnite.

Transparency and Involvement

We believe that transparency is crucial in our development process. We want you to be an integral part of what we’ve been implementing, growing, and creating for you inside of Infitnite. Over the past year, we’ve had the most updates ever, and we plan on keeping this momentum moving forward. To help you fully appreciate these updates, it’s important for you to get an inside look at our thought process and decision-making.

Feedback and Continuous Improvement

Your feedback is the most important to us. We are constantly gathering data and feedback from all the Warriors playing in the Sanctum, Academy, and Dungeon. This input helps us enhance and improve your experience, and it’s the reason we’ve made it this far.

Purpose of This Developer Note

The goal of sharing these developer notes with you is to inform and walk you through our thought process and decision-making around what we are implementing and why. We will be revealing future updates, roadmaps, changes, upgrades to the current experience, and things like that to enhance the experience for the Warrior player.

The Challenges of Traditional Personal Training Packages

Back when I was working as a personal trainer in a box gym, I worked with many people with different goals, challenges, experience levels, and lifestyles. One of the limitations of hiring a personal trainer at a local gym is how you can buy and purchase the service. Box gyms or major chains typically only provide training packages that are often limited, expensive, restrictive, and inflexible. They are usually based on length of time and come in larger sizes, offering limited selection opportunities. Moreover, the gym has full control over the pricing and the service provided, rather than the personal trainer.

I remember many circumstances where people simply could not afford these training packages. Especially once I became a master trainer and my rates increased, the packages became much more expensive. Many people wanted to work with me, needed support, and were committed to doing the work. However, the financial aspect was the biggest barrier for them to achieve the transformative results they were looking for without causing financial distress.

This pained me because they wanted my help, and I knew I could help them, but the barrier of training packages, cost, and the need for consistent support over a long period of time was a significant obstacle. Even if people could afford it, they often couldn’t sustain it long enough to see substantial changes. This situation limited the potential for many people due to budget and cost constraints.

Our Solution: Plan Customization

Customization is often not used effectively or fully understood. We believe customization is at the heart of everything we do at Infitnite. We want to reduce the barrier of entry for those we help at Infitnite, which are the men and women who play games, make games, or lead gaming companies.

Our solution is to provide a level of customization that’s never been seen before. Regardless of where you are financially, your particular goals, past experience, current challenges, or limitations, we wanted to provide a solution. We created a three-step customization option for every single plan:

  1. Choosing Your Realm: The first step is choosing from one of our realms: the Sanctum, Academy, or Dungeon.

  2. Selecting a Plan Duration: You can choose a monthly plan, a quarterly plan, or an annual plan, with the opportunity to save on longer-period plans for quarterly and annual options.

  3. Tier Levels: Lastly, we offer the customization option to upgrade the experience by choosing from three different tier levels: Standard, Premium, and Ultimate. Each tier provides an upgraded experience.

Defining Customization at Infitnite

Before diving into the customization options, it’s essential to understand how we define customization at Infitnite. We boiled it down to five key areas:

  1. Results: Your results are the most important aspect of your journey. We created a rarity system for your results, from common to celestial, indicated by a multiplier and our rarity colors. Color symbolism is a huge aspect, allowing you to visually see the rarity of the results you can achieve, just like in any RPG.

  2. Success Rate: There are no guarantees in health and fitness. We want transparency in the success rate for particular experiences. Different experiences have different success rates based on player input, experience levels, and skill sets. Warmer, darker colors signify difficulty, while cooler, brighter colors signify ease.

  3. Progression Speed: How quickly you progress, learn new skills, upgrade current skills, and make tangible progress is crucial. We provide options to enhance or speed up your progression and show a progression stat or indicator with a multiplier to demonstrate how quickly you can make progress.

  4. Difficulty: The level of difficulty is an important customization option. Growth occurs by overcoming challenges, but the challenge should not be too difficult or too easy. We offer a ranking system for difficulty, from E (easiest) to A (most difficult), allowing you to choose the level of challenge you seek.

  5. Cost: The financial investment is a critical factor. We use gold coins to signify the dollar amounts or estimated costs of selecting an experience. By providing cost estimates from the beginning, we ensure full transparency, helping you make informed decisions based on your financial capabilities.

Flexible Plan Duration

The next level of customization we offer is plan duration. Once the realm is selected, you have the freedom to choose between a monthly, quarterly, or annual subscription plan. When it comes to budgeting for your health and fitness journey, we wanted to provide flexible payment options that fit your pay schedule, financial stability, or investment experience.

The monthly plan is a standard option among many subscription services, but we wanted to give you the opportunity to save with longer commitments. Simply because longer commitments yield better results, we reward longer commitments by increasing success rates, boosting progression speed, and reducing difficulty and gold cost.

Based on my experience and the results of everyone who has played Infitnite thus far, those who commit to longer-term programs—quarterly and annual—get significant boosts to their results and experience. We wanted to visually showcase the areas that are being improved with particular up and down area arrows next to each one of those key customization stats from before.

In terms of savings, we offer 10% off for quarterly plans and 20% off for annual plans to make it easier for people to invest in their long-term health.

Tier Levels

The last level of customization that we introduced for our plans is our tier levels. Just like in many of the games that you buy, create, or sell, there are often different tier levels that offer additional experiences. For those who want the standard experience, we provide that with a detailed breakdown of the key benefits and what’s included when it comes to training, nutrition, and mindset, based on the realm and plan selection.

Just like with the plan duration and how longer duration plans can affect those key areas of your experience, the same goes for the Premium and Ultimate tiers. The upgrades to the Premium and Ultimate tiers with added features and benefits can enhance results, success rate, and progression speed, while reducing difficulty and gold cost.

We wanted to showcase the transparency of what’s affected by the tier level customization option. This introduces more opportunities to enhance the experience, making it more convenient and accelerating progress. We also offer additional savings from the plan duration.

Your 1 of 1 Journey in Infitnite

By delivering a level of customization that’s unmatched, we believe in player choice and recognize that every person is unique. No matter your goals, limitations, lifestyle, or financial situation, we want to provide a solution that’s custom fit for you. Our three-step plan customization options, combined with full transparency, allow you to create a one-of-a-kind experience that influences your results, success rate, progression speed, difficulty level, and cost to fit your budget.

We aim to eliminate finances as a barrier to making long-term mental, physical, and nutritional changes in your life. Customizing our plans will have a significant impact on your quality of life.
