Get Motivated
Reward System
The reward system encourages users to reach their fitness goals by offering rewards that encourage healthy habits at the same time.
The Challenge
Although it's well known that exercise has many health benefits, it's not always easy to stay motivated to regularly exercise. Based on this problem, I aim to design a fitness app that motivates users.
Research
Existing Training System
There are many different solutions that currently exist for training systems. I discovered that at the RIT fitness center, personal trainers send a PDF detailing workouts to their clients each week via email. Clients open the PDF and view the file and video tutorials on a mobile device during their workouts.
Content Analysis
When using this system, there are some major problems:
1. PDF file is difficult to navigate and read on a mobile device.
2. Switching between video instructions and the PDF file can be disrupting.
3. Long lists of training exercises can be overwhelming and discouraging.
Interview
I conducted interviews with 10 people and found that most people are unmotivated or have no time to go to a gym.
Goals
1.Get Motivated
Encourage users to reach their goals during a workout.
2. Workout anywhere at anytime
Help users keep up with their workout schedule even when they have no time to go to the gym.
The Incentive Theory of Motivation
"Our behavior is dictated by a desire for external rewards."
