The Problem
Many people struggle with sticking to their workout routines because they find them monotonous, unengaging, or not aligned with their specific fitness goals. Standard workout apps often lack customization, leaving users frustrated and less motivated to exercise consistently.
Did tests at various gyms to assess the efficacy of our HiitList’s customization features and their impact on user engagement. We wanted to determine how well the app addresses the issue of workout monotony and maintains user motivation by allowing personalized workout plans
Data
The data collected from participant interactions, feedback, and questionnaires will be meticulously assessed to gauge the app’s success in mitigating workout monotony, promoting user engagement, and facilitating customization. Our analysis will focus on discerning trends in customization preferences, user satisfaction, and perceived motivation.
Insights
Iteration 1: In the initial user test with five participants, the app’s customization features received positive feedback, successfully addressing workout monotony. Users appreciated the ability to tailor workouts to their fitness goals. However, some found setting up workout reminders less intuitive, prompting improvements in this aspect.
Iteration 2: The second round, also with five participants, reflected positive changes in the app. Enhanced intuitiveness in setting up reminders and an expanded exercise library were well-received. Users continued to praise customization, suggesting a need for further playlist options.
Iteration 3: In the third and final iteration, another five participants reported significantly improved satisfaction. An expanded workout scenario library and increased playlist flexibility enhanced user engagement and motivation. The iterative approach proved successful in refining the app’s design, effectively addressing workout monotony and enhancing the user experience.
List Page
The workout lists page in Hiit List provides a clear, user-friendly interface for users to access their customized workout plans. Workout cards display the plan name, estimated duration, fitness goal, and customization options. Users can easily initiate workouts, edit plans, or remove them. Filter and sorting options assist users in organizing their plans efficiently. Motivational content is sprinkled throughout the page to keep users engaged and committed to their fitness goals.
Workouts
Each exercise provides users with essential information about the exercise and reps or time to do the activity. It displays the exercise name, the recommended number of repetitions (reps), and sets or time for timed exercises. Users can easily access instructional videos to ensure they perform the exercise correctly. A progress tracker allows users to monitor their workout progress, creating a comprehensive workout experience.
We wanted to work with apple watches to automatically count reps based on gyroscopic and accelerometer data to analyze pace, speed, cadence, and heart rate zones during workouts.
App Web Page
The grid is uniquely rotated at a 45-degree angle to complement the diamond shape of the logo. This unconventional approach is a deliberate representation of the app’s dedication to providing an engaging and dynamic exercise experience.
This grid layout enhances the user experience by guiding visitors along a nontraditional path as they explore the apps fitness offerings. It is both visually compelling and functional, allowing for intuitive navigation. This innovative layout inspires and engages users, encouraging them to take the first step on their fitness journey.
