You've got a lot of competition but that doesn't mean you can't make a splash. Here are a few things that I would look at implementing to help bring your app to market:

1. Without budget, the best approach to bringing this to market will be good old fashioned hustle. You should consider the power of leveraging gyms and trying to convert the existing clientele. That's a truly hustle hack and one that will be tough to scale without a lot of creativity. You could sell the technology to the various gyms or personal trainers, let them skin it to their own liking and use that as your business model. Or, you could get them to push it on their social channels and link it to an affiliate marketing service - There's all kinds of different approaches in that regard... 2. On the flipside, you could take the traditional healthcare route and build (1) a following and (2) relationships. You can do this in a few ways - Creating quality content that people who are health conscious would care about is step one. Distribute that content in channels and networks where these individuals spend time. (eg. BodyBuilding.com, Reddit and other site that are focused on fitness) The more quality content you create, the more interest you'll generate from the individuals looking for this info. From there, use this content when building relationships - Send it in emails and tell VIPs you just wanted their opinion on the content. 3. You could run adwords campaigns. 4. Create YouTube videos about fitness - The market is becoming saturated but if you get creative with it, you can definitely still capture the attention of the right audience.
