FitU Mobile App
FitU is a client management app for fitness trainers and professionals. This app was designed to make it easier for fitness trainers to communicate with, schedule appointments, and train clients
The Goal
The aim of the FitU app is to help trainers communicate with and organize their client information so they can focus on tracking their clients’ progress in achieving their fitness goals
The Problem
Fitness professionals are concerned with maximizing the time of their training sessions and being able to effectively communicate with their clients.
Project Summary
I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users and their needs. A primary group identified through research was busy fitness trainers who don’t have time to do the clerical work associated with tracking clients’ workouts.
This user group confirmed initial assumptions about FitU customers, but research also revealed that time was not the only factor limiting users from creating their workouts. Other user problems included keeping track of their schedule, customizing workouts, and managing tasks.

The FitU app makes the process of managing client information easy for fitness trainers. It helps users stay organized and keep their information in one place while helping them be mindful of their schedule and save time completing tasks.
Working on the FitU app from ideation to conception showed me the importance of empathizing with the user and putting their needs first. I learned that feedback, research, and retesting iterations can take a design from good to great.
