How we make an excellent UI/UX
for a fitness app
Customization
The app’s interface should tailor the content to the needs of different user groups (level of preparedness or possible disabilities) and adjust it to their preferences and specific goals.
Clear navigation
A user needs to take action fast, be able to work with the app straightforward. A good design provides workout or menu information in one tap, so a user immediately feels at home.
Convenient tracking
Recent routine stats should be made available in an instant. Data from wearables should be displayed to give an immediate understanding of the progress and new achievements.
Hardware integration
The best UX is achieved when the app can be integrated with wearables and fitness bands. Easy data logging and enabled fitness progression add to the app’s key fitness features.

Why you need a low-fidelity
prototype for your app

Creating it is free and helps resolving such issues, as determining the app’s audience, key functionality and user flow. Once you’ve got a low-fidelity app, you’ll have clearer expectations about your fitness app.
How does a lo-fi prototype look like?
- — Basic shapes are used to visualize the app’s design of screens
- — Content is limited and includes only key ideas that explain the user flow
- — Basic explanations accompany the flow to provide extra detail as to what a user will be able to do with the app
Why preparing a lo-fi prototype will help you test your app’s idea?
- — It’s a fast way of experimenting with several ideas without having to design and develop the app
- — You receive assistance from experts that will suggest the best way to implement your fitness app concept
- — Lo-fi prototypes can be used as a project documentation and reference for future iterations.
