Fitness SaaS system best program language

Hello guys, i need to do a fitness SaaS system for a client, i need to know what is the best technology out there to do this and if this is also possible to do: The software consists of a backend and frontend for each club subscriber, in the backend will have all the club clients details, club subscriptions classes and payments. Also in backend the personal trainers will be able to insert all the performance, body mass, workout details of each club client. In frontend the club client will be able to login and see your performance, body mass, workouts etc, current and past plans historic with animated graphics etc. Is this possible to do and be scalable as SaaS, please give me your advice for the best languages program technology and security.

Best regards

Hi Ricardo,

You can do this many different ways. I would definitely dip into everything at treehouse a little more and see if there is something you really like. I personally would do it with wordpress. I think it will be the easiest and fastest way for you to get something up and out there. Its quick to make a MVP and doesn't require too much experience.

You could do subscription payments with easy digital downloads or the woo commerce plugin for wordpress.

You could probably find a theme for something similar to what you want on themeforest.net and get some codes off codecanyon.net . This may need some custom coding since it sounds like you want something pretty specific.

Do not let personal trainers in your back end. That is bad security and not scalable. You can have front end forms that get sent to the backend.

Hope this helps. Have fun and keep learning.
