Problem

Users needed a simpler way to discover trainers, book live sessions, and stay motivated. The existing experience created friction across discovery and booking, limiting the platform's ability to build lasting habits.

Solution

I simplified the path from discovery to workout — streamlined trainer profiles and filtering, low-friction scheduling, and seamless join flows for live sessions. Then I layered in challenges, journeys, and leaderboards to turn one-off workouts into a lasting habit.

Overview

Discovering a trainer, booking a live session, and actually sticking with it were all harder than they needed to be — friction that made it tough to build a lasting habit.

I simplified the whole path from discovery to workout, then layered in challenges, journeys, and leaderboards to turn one-off sessions into a routine.

What I did
  • Streamlined trainer discovery, filtering, and booking
  • Designed low-friction join flows for live sessions
  • Added challenges, journeys, and leaderboards for retention
