Personal Calendar
The Timeline keeps users informed and gives important information in bite sized content.
It gives them access to time, date, contact details and other class information they have signed up for.
Key Flows
Movement_Home screen
The screen has two main tabs the user can switch in between. Movement acts as the primary, tracker being the other where the user can explore offerings, disciplines or trainers of their liking. Each of which leads to them to more specific screens with actions to follow.
Booking a session
The example flow here shows the booking of a personal one-on-one offline session.
The main screen is designed to have utmost discoverability and let the user decide which program they want to explore.
Once they have time and date finalized they book and wait for trainer’s acceptance depending on their schedule, if accepted the user goes on to make the payment (flow below)
Take a physical test!
The flow illustrates the process of taking a physical test to check the level of fitness.
Users can customize the intensity of the test along with targeted body parts.

Empathy Mapping
The takeaways from observing avid users using their fitness applications highlighted some important frustrations
The major drawback was the inability to personally chat and understand their fitness plan from their trainers or coaches
Absence of flexible schedule that offers them a range of offers
Wanted to explore more disciplines than already existing and to have different levels of trainers
Wish there was way to personally chat with the instructor to know more about a class
Notifications
Alerts
Reminders
Profile completion
Payment confirmation
Absence of personalized plans
Has multiple apps to track nutrition, physical activity and measure the same
Wants transparency in what information is being shared to whom and for how long
Wants quick and easy glimpse of personal calendar
Lacks options to choose from in varied difficulty level
Limited experts in diverse fitness discipline
Enjoys when they reached a level higher
I want a customized plan where I have flexibility in one on one sessions and group sessions
If theres a way to monitor my all around physical activity in and outside the app, that would ease the tracking process

Payment flow
The payment flow offers a standard easy and convenient way for the first time users to set up payment and confirm the booking with no hassle.
Fitness Tracker_ Home screen
The Tracker main screen displays various widgets that are stacked in order of priority and frequency of use. The page serves as a quick overview as to when the user needs to check their daily tracker information.
Clicking on each then gives you more information and your history within that specific title.
Public Profile View
Users can explore profiles of various professionals containing details about their services and personal background. This enables users to make informed decisions about whether or not they want to take a class with a specific person.
Data Access
To maintain transparency and give users the control to handle their data shared.
Updated list of trainers who have access to relevant personal data is visible.
Once the program with a specific trainer ends, the system stops sharing data and at any given time the user can edit and decide what they want to share and what they don't, building trust.
Challenges & Learning
Navigating market dynamics and analyzing large-scale product cycles was challenging, requiring a deep understanding of the industry to identify gaps and propose effective solutions.
