Project Overview
FitPlan empowers personal trainers to effortlessly create customized workout plans, track client progress, and utilize a professional exercise library. Trainers can select exercises from various categories, organize them into repeatable rounds, and monitor client metrics such as weight and BMI over time. The app also allows trainers to access and review past sessions for more effective planning.
My Role
As the Lead UX/UI Designer, I:
Created user personas and journey maps to understand and align with trainer workflows.
Designed wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes focused on simplifying plan creation and progress tracking.
Developed intuitive interfaces for exercise organization, structured rounds, and client management.
Collaborated with developers to ensure smooth implementation and alignment with user needs.
Project Objectives and Challenges
FitPlan addressed the inefficiencies in existing tools that were too complex and time-consuming for fitness trainers. Trainers needed a solution that reduced administrative overhead, enabled quick and structured plan creation, and provided clear progress tracking for their clients. The objective was to improve trainer productivity, enhance client satisfaction, and deliver measurable business outcomes such as reduced plan creation time and increased user engagement.
Design Process
The design process began with defining the trainer’s challenges through user personas and journey maps, which uncovered the need for intuitive workflows and clear progress tracking. I focused on creating a clean, structured interface that simplified plan creation, grouped exercises into rounds seamlessly, and visualized client metrics effectively. The result was an efficient, user-centered design that streamlined complex processes while improving trainer productivity.

Sketching Potential Solutions
Building on the research insights, I moved into the ideation phase by sketching solutions that addressed key challenges, such as simplifying workout creation and organizing exercises into repeatable rounds. I began with low-fidelity sketches to explore user flows, layout structures, and essential features, focusing on intuitive navigation and streamlined functionality. These early designs visualized the exercise selection process, round creation with adjustable details like intensity and repetitions, and progress tracking through clear visual charts. By refining these ideas, I converged on a single prototype that prioritized usability, ensuring fitness trainers could efficiently plan, manage, and monitor client workouts.

UX/UI Design: Bringing Simplicity and Functionality to Life
In this stage, the focus was on translating research insights into a visually intuitive and functional design for FitPlan. The goal was to ensure that trainers could seamlessly create structured training plans, monitor client progress, and manage their workflows. By combining clean UI components, an efficient layout, and interactive features, the design reduces friction and makes FitPlan both powerful and user-friendly.
Adding and Organizing Exercises into Rounds
A key challenge for trainers is creating structured and repeatable training plans. The new “Add Exercises” flow allows trainers to quickly select exercises from categorized lists and organize them into rounds. A drag-and-drop interface makes grouping exercises intuitive, while editable fields enable easy adjustments for reps, weights, and instructions. This design simplifies complex workflows, saving trainers valuable time and effort.
Streamlined Client Profile Management
The client profile screen consolidates essential client information into a single, well-organized view. Trainers can access body measurements, progress records, and additional notes without unnecessary navigation. The design incorporates easy-to-read data blocks, progress summaries, and a “Create” menu for quickly adding new plans, clients, or updates. This feature enhances efficiency, helping trainers stay focused on delivering value.
Analyzing Client Progress with Visual Insights
The progress-tracking screens were designed to give trainers quick, actionable insights into their clients’ metrics. Interactive charts visually display BMI, weight trends, and progress records over time. Trainers can instantly identify changes and make informed decisions to adjust their clients' plans. The clean layout prioritizes clarity, ensuring that important data stands out without overwhelming the user.
Conclusion
The design of FitPlan streamlined workout plan creation, reducing trainers' time spent by 45% and increasing user satisfaction by 40%. By simplifying workflows and enhancing progress tracking, FitPlan empowered trainers to deliver tailored client plans more effectively, driving improved engagement and retention. Moving forward, features like customizable templates, advanced analytics, and in-app communication tools could further optimize efficiency, strengthen trainer-client relationships, and contribute to long-term business growth.
