What Is a Fitness App? Building a fitness app is more than just developing a gym workout app. This mobile app is designed to improve your health on the go. The scope of these applications ranges all the way from simple activity tracking to the actual provision of providing fitness-related advice or exercises via a mobile interface. Or, applications can be a way for clients to take control of themselves or let others evaluate their performance and suggest tools for improvement. And from a company’s point of view — mobile interfaces can be a communication tool and often the primary way from which customers consume and purchase fitness products. The options are almost endless.
What Is FitCoach? FitCoach is a fitness app for people starting a new active lifestyle, developing healthy habits, losing weight, getting in shape, and feeling better. Their famous 30-day fitness plan makes it easy to change your lifestyle, adjust your diet, and get actionable body care tips. Moreover, they also provide training sessions for people who have just started working out. The FitCoach app is specially designed for people who care about their health, want to lose weight, and stay in shape, but don’t have time to go to the gym. It is also for those who want to change their lives and pay more attention to their health.
How Do You Build Your Own Fitness App? • With all of this in mind, you’ll prepare a successful strategy for creating a mobile fitness application. The development process should consist of the following steps: • Competitor Analysis • There are many mobile fitness apps on the market, so you need to find something that makes your solution unique. So carry out a detailed competitor analysis including product features, design features, platforms, user reviews, and more. • You can read customer reviews, positive or negative, on the App Store and Google Play. This will help you identify your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses and understand how you can stand out from their backgrounds.
Target Audience Analysis • By analyzing your competitors, you can find out what questions and preferences your customers have. You can find your audience in social networks, groups, forums, etc. • Read their posts and comments and communicate with them to clarify their needs. Identify a user’s identity by specifying goals such as age, country, body shape, tracking physical activity, habit formation, or a healthy lifestyle. • Prepare for Reference Conditions • Think about how much value your mobile fitness app will add to your users, how your app should look and work, how users will interact with it, and what it can do. If your requirements are difficult to formulate specifically, your IT service provider will always be happy to help.
Design • Success in the marketplace requires a lot of loyal customers. Most people don’t use digital products with unattractive designs and slow content. So, create beautiful mobile fitness apps that deliver amazing user experiences. • MVP Development • An MVP, or minimally viable product, is a solution with a minimal set of features to accomplish the required task. We recommend using this approach as it offers many benefits. • First, it can reduce the cost of developing fitness applications. Second, it shortens time to market. Third, attract first users and collect feedback. Analyze customer feedback to get a clear idea of what needs to be improved or changed.
Testing and Debugging • During this phase, quality assurance (QA) engineers test the mobile fitness app for bugs and ensure compliance with requirements. Then the software developer solves all the problems. • Release • When everything is ready, we launch it to the market. That is, we publish to the App Store and/or Google Play. This is where you have to deal with things like App Store Optimization (ASO), product icons, screens, and descriptions.
Features To Include In your Fitness App • Easy Mobile Onboarding • Users can register or log in to the app by entering their personal information such as name, date of birth, location, age, gender, current weight and height, and email address. Some applications also allow social media registrations where users can log in via social media handles. • User Profile Creation • Users can create a profile, add options and preferences, so the app provides the content and offers they want. The user panel also shows progress and training programs that have been attended in the past and are currently in progress.
Punching In Workout Details • This feature allows you to track each user’s physical activity. To this end, users can connect the application to their smartphone’s sensors to implement tracking using Apple HealthKit and GoogleFit via APIs, or they can choose to manually enter data. • Quality Workout Guides & Videos • Fitness & Workout Videos gives users access to training programs with high-quality videos where they learn how to perform exercises properly demonstrated by professional fitness trainers. • Maps & Routes • For running, cycling, and other fitness activity tracking applications, it’s important to use routing overlays to display maps. Users don’t necessarily have to use this feature on the go, but they will review it once the training is complete.
Real-Time Notifications • Easy. You need to notify your users about your training, offer discounts during the season when you’re feeling better, and update when others comment on your post. • One thing to keep in mind about notifications is that it’s easy to exploit this feature and turn it off for your customers. • Multi-App Integrations • Let’s face it — many of us love training on our favorite audio content pieces, but it’s confusing if you need to switch between workouts and players. That’s why it’s so important to integrate your workout app with Apple Music, Spotify, or other music streaming services. • Meal Planners & Calorie Counting • Of course, when creating a fitness planner app, you can’t ignore meal planning and calorie counting. The best apps in this category provide exaggerated information about ingredients and recommend recipes based on user goals, preferences, and constitutions.
Quality Workout Guides & Videos • If you create a fitness app, you need to add a class streaming option. I’m confident that Peloton is the perfect role model for this and one can draw a lot of ideas from the company. However, it’s important to integrate all these features into one seamless fitness program experience. • Workout Timers • Users can choose the duration of these movements starting from 5 minutes while doing strength training, yoga, cardio, and other workouts. While exercising, the user can pause on the exercise screen, skip the exercise, and turn the sound on and off. • Workout Goals & Objectives • Allows users to set goals and objectives. Because what can be a better motivation for prioritizing fitness. This feature is a goal tracker that helps users achieve their fitness goals perfectly.
Barcode Scanner • If you have a diet app, you can integrate the app with a barcode scanner. Bar scanners help you shop by letting you know the nutritional value of your groceries. • Online Consultation • The app may provide online advice to receive personalized recommendations. To that end, you can integrate chat functionality to make things much easier and smoother. • Gaming Elements • With gamification, you can further improve your app’s experience. This will enhance user engagement with the app. App developers can apply gamification in various sections such as Leaderboards, Goal Achievers, etc.
Wrapping Up The health care and fitness industry is on the rise. With more people preferring to work out at home the demand for such apps is increasing. With complete knowledge of launching ahealthcare and fitness app, you can successfully leverage the vast potential of this market.
