GYM-MINI
PROCESS
Currently there are a lot of fitness apps on the market and most of them are fairly successful but from personal experience, I have found that a lot of the apps are good but not great. There are certain parts of some apps that are missing features that other apps have. It’s like they’re all pieces of an entire puzzle that have not been put together. I also feel like a lot of the apps still have the “working out indoors” feel so you always feel like you are at some gym. I want to create an app that is not only a great workout but makes you feel like you are working out in the world similar to how runners don’t like running on a treadmill because they feel like they’re not going anywhere.
I am conscious about my health but I hate working out alone because it always feels more like a chore than fun. I have found that every time I work out with a friend or with a group class, I am motivated to push myself further, I enjoy my workout and don’t really feel the pain of working out because I am distracted by others around me. With this realization, I started thinking about all the workout dvds and apps that allow you to work out with the person on the screen and how all of these products are successful because of that. I have found workout apps that allow you to follow instructions but the trainers on the screen all seem so cold and detached from their users. I wanted to create an app that would be the opposite of that. By using site and sound, I would try to fully immerse my user on the app so they don’t feel alone in their workout. They would enjoy their workout and time would fly by.
I believe my app is headed in a new direction for fitness apps. My app is a work out app that allows you to workout anywhere in the world. Based on where the user chooses to work out, there will be a video playing in third person, so that you can see what the other person who is working out in these areas see. The sounds will be sounds from the actual environment. I also want to include trackers at the bottom of the screen that will allow you to track your heart rate, how many calories burned, how long you’ve working out for, and the distance. My app will also include a forum page you can chat with other users, a diet page to tell you the foods you want to eat before and after your work out, and it will allow you to have a homepage where you can check off all the places you’ve been. My app will be for advanced fitness people and also average people who need a little help with their workout lifestyle.
