EliteFit
I wanted to create a Personalized Training App for High School Athletes so personal trainers can be more affordable and accessible to all wealth levels. Nowadays, you need a personal trainer to be the best at your sport. Unfortunately, they can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars (while already paying to play your sport). This leads to outside trainers being inaccessible to athletes who can not afford them. I aim to fix this problem by creating an app that personalizes workouts depending on the sport an athlete plays and their level that aims to be much more affordable. My goal is to create an app that caters to all athletes no matter their financial situation.
Programs Used
Figma and Adobe Illustrator
Feeling ashamed because other teammates have personal trainers, feeling “behind” on skill level (not advancing as fast as other players), risk of injury, inefficient workouts, nutritional challenges, and more.
Pain Points
Versus other apps or other options in the personal training industry, my app would provide personalized workouts (videos and plans), a personalized nutrition guide, options of who you want as your trainer, a fitness assessment for the sport (including positions), workout logging, achievement badges for completing weekly workouts, progress reports, etc.
Personas
Michael Jones, Male, 15 years old, California Resident, Lacrosse Player. Knows he has a talent for his sport but is already paying so much to play Lacrosse. His stick was $250, his helmet was $75, and his new cleats were $150. Michael’s parents don't have the extra money to sign him up with a personal trainer. Michael tried going to the gym on his own but felt lost and confused about what workouts to do to help him in Lacrosse. Michael specifically wants to be quicker in his footwork.
Haley Endler, Female, 16 years old, Arizona High School Soccer player set on going D1 at CU Boulder. Haley plays for one of the top soccer clubs in Scottsdale and plays in the goalie position. She does team workouts but never feels like the workouts are personalized enough. Why should a goalie be doing the same speed work as an attacker? Haley is looking to find an affordable option for a personal trainer to give her workouts that are more catered to her position.
Annie Long, Female, 18 years old, Swimmer in Washington. Annie has always struggled with the way her body looks. Her back and shoulders are large and broad due to swimming and she feels insecure. Annie knows her body is strong and she’s proud to have the body she does due to her talent in swimming. Because of her insecurities, Annie struggles with food intake and overthinking what foods to fuel her body. Annie is looking for a trainer who can help make her eating habits healthier and who can provide guided workouts.
Scenario
Michael Jones is a talented lacrosse player. He plays for the club Los Angeles Dogs and is on the rise to becoming a vital player on the team. Michael wants to get a personal trainer to help improve his reactivity and footwork but can’t afford it. Michael’s parents already pay for his Lacrosse club and high school teams and don’t want to spend extra money on a trainer. They feel like he can just go to the gym and work on himself. Michael though, feels lost and confused at the gym. Michael doesn’t know how to improve on his own and feels like he’ll fall behind his teammates. Michael decided to go to the store and see if there was anything available. He found some training apps but they're catered to weight loss and self-improvement, not athletic improvement. Michael then found Elite Fit, a training app for high school athletes. Michael decided to download the app and try it out. He notices right away that it is real trainers helping him and not AI. He feels like this app will help him improve.
