Research
Summary
I used Fitness Coaching applications data to develop interview questions, which were then used to conduct user interviews. Most interview participants reported about the crowded UI and confusing workout schedules, but they didn’t actively try to track their daily schedules. The feedback received through research made it very clear that users would be more into the app on regular basis if they had access to an easy-to-use tool to help guide them.
