Brief: This mobile app concept was aimed to help users visualize as well as log their gym workouts and activities with the use of a calendar and in-app note taking tool. Users would be able to see their workout history and also log how the workout went; were they sore, feeling exhausted, feeling energized?
Goal: I was the sole UI Designer in a small team of three. I was inspired by snapchat in a sense that when the user sees that they've been active for a few days in a row, they want to continue that streak. This is the purpose of the calendar. The user would also have a history of their activity/workouts and can go back to see notes, such as if they felt sore, if they liked the workout, etc.
Challenges: For a small team of students, we didn’t have the resources or time to test a large group of gym attendees, so we resorted to testing with a small group of people to give us rapid feedback. We also heavily relied on research. One of the team members’ role was to research the different workout apps on the market. We found that there wasn’t a mobile application on the market which utilized this form of information visualization.
