A mobile application for fitness lovers. Log, rate, and share your
workouts with your 'fitfam.'
This is the project that introduced me to my love of UX and UI design. My teammates and I were tasked to design an application, targeting our college peers. The theme of the assignment was reflection, so it must have an aspect of reflection within it. We decided that there was some unchartered space in the digital fitness world. Not many people are comfortable sharing or reflecting on their fitness goals, workouts, or progress. This application is not published and was an academic project, however, I'd love to walk you through the process and end result.
We led our discovery with three different methods: user interviews, surveys, and observation. Our hope was to find a need or interest in sharing more about fitness with a community. With these methods, we also gauged fitness levels and interest in fitness in general.
Our discovery resulted in 3 main findings:
Knowing we wanted to focus on fitness, we did research and created a mood board. We felt like health and fitness made us think of nutrition, nature, progress, moving forward, and all of those align with the color green, which symbolizes life, growth, and vitality.
The name comes from the idea of bring everyone into their own fitness community, no matter their level or comfortability with exercise. Our goal was to create an application in the fitness space that makes anyone and everyone feel welcome to learn about exercise and share their own journey with others. We wanted to make fitness fun and a topic of conversation and we liked the idea of people even coming together outside of the app to workout together. After some brainstorming sessions, we landed on 'fitfam' and loved it.
We put this prototype in front of peers. Below are consistent findings and proposed solutions across most tests.
Disclaimer: This was an academic project so this app was not deployed-- just designed for a presentation. The scale of this application could be much larger and I am more than happy to discuss it more in detail. I showcased what I thought were the primary points to share as I provided a snapshot into this project.
