FuelUp - Fitness Application

Overview:

A visually appealing, user-friendly app designed to help users track their body weight, protein intake, calories, and physical activity while promoting sustainable health habits. The experience is gamified with a leaderboard and progress indicators to boost user engagement.

Problem: Users struggle with consistency in tracking nutrition and health metrics. Existing tools feel cluttered or clinical, reducing user retention and motivation which then defined our goal.

Goal: Design an intuitive, aesthetic app that simplifies health tracking, provides actionable insights, and nudges users toward long-term wellness habits.

Design Process

1. Empathize Conducted user interviews and competitor analysis. Identified key pain points:

• “I forget to log my data.”

• “The apps feel like medical charts.”

2. Define Created personas and user journey maps. Key insight: users want positive reinforcement and clean visuals.

3. Ideate Brainstormed minimalist UI concepts with color psychology and modular data blocks. Prioritized:

• Quick data input

• Encouraging messages

• Gentle gamification

4. Prototype Developed mid-to-high fidelity prototypes in Figma. Added microinteractions and adaptive states for consistent UX.

5. Test Ran usability testing with 8 users. Improved:

• Icon clarity

• Graph readability

• Contextual tooltips for metrics (e.g., protein per kg)

6. Refine Polished gradients, icon sets, and data viz. Final design supported 4 core metrics with visual reinforcement of progress over time...
