Why FitNext is designed to be one of the most inclusive and adaptive fitness apps available today, supporting real people with real lives.

At the forefront of tailored fitness experiences is Dr. Wahl, the founder and CEO of Apogee Health & Performance. With a background that integrates elite athletics, physical therapy, and entrepreneurship, he’s working to redefine how individuals approach their health. Dr. Wahl’s journey from Academic All-American football player to Doctor of Physical Therapy shaped Apogee’s mission: developing intelligent and adaptable fitness systems that respond to users’ evolving needs.

Dr. Wahl understands that fitness should be approachable and flexible. As a lifelong athlete, personal trainer, and Doctor of Physical Therapy, he envisioned FitNext as a platform for a wide range of people — not limited to high-level athletes. His experience with clients from various age groups, backgrounds, and physical abilities greatly influenced the inclusive design of Apogee: a fitness app that adapts as your needs shift, no matter your starting point.

Fitness Isn’t Just for Athletes Anymore

Fitness has traditionally been marketed toward a narrow group — elite performers, bodybuilders, and individuals already in peak shape. But for many, fitness is about feeling better, moving more easily, and building sustainable habits for long-term health.

That’s the thinking behind FitNext.

FitNext was created as an inclusive platform — one that respects personal goals, adjusts over time, and supports each user’s unique journey. Whether you’re a busy professional, a stay-at-home parent, a beginner just starting out, or someone returning to fitness after a break, FitNext aims to provide the tools and support that fit your lifestyle.

One Platform. Expansive Possibilities.

FitNext isn’t designed for a niche group. It’s a versatile wellness platform intended to serve people with a wide range of goals and preferences.
Here’s what sets it apart:

• Custom fitness plans created with AI technology, not static templates

• Goal-aligned programming that evolves based on progress (e.g., weight management, strength, stamina, overall well-being)

• Options for all levels, whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience

• Adaptable routines, including bodyweight exercises, minimal-equipment plans, or gym-based workouts

We don’t believe users should conform to a particular image or train like professionals to access effective coaching. With FitNext, the platform adjusts to you — not the other way around.

A Supportive Approach to Wellness

The mission behind FitNext is to offer a widely accessible and encouraging fitness experience. That means minimizing the pressure and intimidation that sometimes accompany traditional workout programs.

FitNext emphasizes:

• Long-term habits over temporary fixes
• Positive reinforcement over performance pressure
• Self-acceptance rather than harsh self-evaluation
• Consistency as a core value over chasing perfection

This isn’t about chasing impossible ideals or promoting rapid transformations. Instead, the goal is to help you take meaningful steps toward a healthier version of yourself — at your own speed and comfort level.

Real People. Genuine Journeys.

FitNext was built with a variety of users in mind. Among them are individuals who are:

• Beginning their wellness path and looking for guidance in a supportive space

• Returning to fitness after an injury, pregnancy, or life change

• Balancing full-time careers and caregiving responsibilities

• Neurodiverse or differently-abled and seeking personalized, flexible fitness options

• Interested in consistent movement and wellness without rigid performance metrics

And what’s notable? They all use the same platform — informed by AI, grounded in behavior science, and responsive to each person’s real-world context.

Motivating, Respectful Language

FitNext adopts a tone that encourages progress and self-respect. You won’t encounter aggressive slogans or comparisons. Instead, you’ll see:

• “Progress is personal.”
• “Your pace is valid.”
• “Every step forward counts.”

The language used by the app is crafted to uplift users and support mental well-being — not to shame or pressure them. FitNext is designed to inspire without comparison, and to motivate without triggering self-doubt.

Focusing on Progress, Not Perfection

FitNext doesn’t measure success through strict standards. It celebrates persistence and small wins.

Using systems like streaks, adaptive milestones, and achievement badges, the app reinforces positive patterns. If you miss a workout, there’s no punishment — just another chance to re-engage with your goals.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program or a punishment-based routine. It’s habit-supportive technology that meets you with compassion and keeps momentum alive.

A Wellness Platform That Adjusts to You

Your goal might be:

• Managing weight
• Building muscle
• Boosting daily energy
• Reducing stress
• Sleeping better
• Enhancing mood
• Increasing confidence

Whatever your reason, FitNext offers a customizable approach to help guide your next steps.

It’s not just another app — it’s a fitness and wellness experience designed to evolve as your needs do.

Regardless of your body or your background — you’re welcome here.
