Overview
Problem
In today's digital ecosphere, there is no shortage of fitness apps. How can I create a product that stands out from the pack, while offering something fresh and unique?
Solution
I designed a digital product that combines all of the features users expect from a fitness app with a partner product portal for health and wellness offerings, and a special consideration for accessibility.
My Role
UX/UI Designer
Duration
1 week
Understanding the Problem Space
With so many fitness tracker-type apps already out there, how can I contribute value? What are the opportunities for growth in this market? How can I make a difference and improve the existing paradigm?
What ain't broke ✅
The established fitness apps do a great job with features like guided workouts, and activity tracking.
What needs fixing ❌
One thing that's missing is access to products fostering improved health and wellness.
What could be enhanced 💫
Accessibility features could be improved and more widely available (true of most apps).
Mind the Gap
To begin to understand the problem and identify market gaps, I completed a competitive analysis:
Early Sketching
The insight gleaned from my competitive analysis led me to the decision that fitness app users could strongly benefit from the availability of a partner product portal, so I began sketching.
Mid-Fi Wireframes
I then started to design the rough features of the app, along with exploring some branding colors.
Style Guide
Next, as I continued to ramp up the fidelity of my designs, I created a style guide to facilitate ease of development and branding consistency.

Takeaways
Obstacles
One of the main obstacles I had to overcome during this project was deciding what the hook of my app would be. I was aware that some workout apps included lots of different kinds of media in terms of health and wellness offerings, but I noticed that I hadn't seen any which included physical products. This was the market gap I looked to capitalize on, products to empower users as they move along their health and wellness journeys.
Opportunity for Growth
I feel as though some of the colors, especially the darker ones, could have been more evenly dispersed throughout the app's screens. I couldn't quite figure out how to unify that quality as much as I may have wanted, this time around.
For the Future
Moving forward, in addition to working in more of those darker hues, I would want to continue to build out the rest of the app. As this project took place in only about a week, I focused more on designing particular user flows than every single screen.
