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.

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.
