Fitmate is an application to help busy users to reach their fitness goals. This platform allows user to create a workout routine that fits theirs busy life style.

Background

Problem statement:

How might we help users confidently meet their workout goals safely and efficiently?

I was the UX researcher in this project where I focusedon the user stories, wire flows, low fidelity wire frames and usability study.

Overview

The following achievements were made in the approach and product strategies:

  1. Conducted research and ideation through interviews and story boards.

  2. Developed wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to address user needs and goals.

  3. Performed usability testing with the product specialist and QA tester to identify issues, gather data, and assess participant satisfaction.

Approach and strategy

Target audience/Story board

There are 2 user types:

Individuals interested in maintaining an active lifestyle

Committed fitness enthusiasts with specific fitness objectives

The low-fidelity wireframes and initial prototype enabled stakeholders to better grasp the concept and idea. They also allowed the team to address fundamental concerns regarding content, layout, and product requirements prior to moving forward with a more detailed prototype.

Reflection

Remote Collaboration: Despite the challenges of remote collaboration, we effectively utilized platforms such as Zoom and WhatsApp to successfully execute an 8-week project.

Time constraints: Despite being allotted only 8 weeks for research and development, we were able to meet our objectives and deliver a finalized prototype.
