Problem
Many college students and young professionals struggle to stay consistent with fitness routines due to lack of time, motivation, and engaging tools. Existing fitness apps often overwhelm users with data, require paid subscriptions for basic features, or lack personalization which leads to low retention.
How might we make fitness tracking feel simple, motivating, and approachable so users can build consistent workout habits?
Solution
Create a fitness app designed to make staying active simple and motivating. The app combines personalized workout recommendations, progress tracking, and engaging features to create a friendly experience that encourages consistency.
User Research
Survey
To better understand the fitness habits of potential users, I conducted research through and a survey of 23 participants ages 19 - 32.
What I asked: "What are the biggest challenges you face that keeps you from working out consistently or at all?"
Key Findings:
- 61% struggled with maintaining motivation to work out regularly.
- 52% preferred short, flexible workouts, they could fit into their day.
- 30% reported feeling intimidated by complex and cluttery fitness apps.
Users wanted apps that felt personal, encouraging, and easy to use, but most importantly, something they could come back to regularly.
Research Takeaways
Simplicity drives engagement - Aim to create simple and telling visuals for users to absorb information and features for this app.
Introduce features to keep users engaged - Implementing an A.I bot to aid in advice or exercises can keep people information hungry and motivated as well as options to start new challenges.
Accessibility - Allow users to see progress, choose activities, and view their stats with a simple layout and navigation, trying to keep it readable and not overwhelming.

User Personas

User Flow
Design Process
When it comes to defining the first main screen the user lands on, I wanted it showcase the main summary of the user's workout details for the week visually. I didn't want to overwhelm the user with numbers and data and only showcase the important takeaways details as well as features for the user to immediately access upon arrival.
If the users want to view more in depth stats and activity details, they can navigate accordingly using the navbar dedicated to each section. The activity section contains details for the week while also letting users create a new workout.
The overview section allows user to view stats from the past days, weeks, months, to even years as well as their progress.
I wanted to include a section dedicated to Health which allows users to track their sleep and heart stats which is meant to allow users to personally monitor themselves and go for an empathetic direction which doesn't ignore the user and their personal bodies and needs.
The profile section includes their personal information section as well as a progress reminder to encourage them to continue their journey. My goal is to let users have access to features and visuals that would ultimately encourage users to continue their progress and keep on making new workouts and goals.
Color
For Move+, I chose a green gradient with soft fades as the primary color to create a calming and soothing experience. Green is often associated with growth, balance, and health which are values that align directly with fitness and wellbeing. To complement this, I also introduced a vibrant yellow accent, which adds energy and positivity while balancing the calming green. Together, these colors create a visual identity that feels inviting, motivating, and approachable without overwhelming the user.
