An application that works

How to create convenient and effective software? How to make it satisfy users? Generate revenue? What features to implement? The development process and product features depend directly on the niche focus of the software. Therefore, Fruktorum is ready to discuss all the details of your order with you and find the optimal solution for your business and specifically your target audience. Below, we'll describe what it can be like...

Types of Fitness Applications

Concept, design, interface, and functionality—all these components are determined after identifying the type of fitness utility needed. Broadly, they fall into three main categories, each with its unique features and characteristics

For Workout Planning

These utilities function as personal trainers, aiding users in more effective exercise. They focus on teaching individuals how to properly perform exercises, often incorporating graphic, audio, and/or video content. Workout planning fitness apps can be further categorized by types of workouts, including:

Strength: Aiding in building muscle mass and strength
Endurance: Helping to burn calories and strengthen the cardiovascular system
Mobility: Enhancing body flexibility, improving movement quality, and stretching muscles and joints

For Activity Tracking

These utilities enable users to track their physical activity. With the prevalence of fitness bracelets and smartwatches, individuals can synchronize data with fitness trackers or smartphones. Users can access information such as the number of steps taken, heart rate, stress level, sleep duration, running speed, and other useful metrics. Activity tracking fitness apps are not limited to sports enthusiasts and are suitable for anyone, including those who do not frequent the gym

For Diet and Nutrition Control

Suitable for individuals aiming to lose or control weight, monitor calories, maintain a daily regimen, and manage water balance. These software products are designed to cater to specific fitness needs and goals, providing users with tailored solutions for their health and well-being

Such applications typically include:

Calculators for calorie counting
Food diaries, ideal for individuals on specific diets
Tables with data on foods, detailing their protein, fat, carbohydrate, calorie, vitamin, mineral, etc.

Features of the Fitness App

As previously mentioned, the primary objective of developing fitness utilities is to assist users in tracking their physical activity and achieving fitness goals. Therefore, when ordering your own application, it's crucial to consider at least its basic set of functions to ensure a positive user experience. While these bundles may vary based on the target audience and the type of fitness app, there is a certain foundation that is required for any software to make it simple and effective to interact with

Key Features

User Profile
A fundamental feature that allows owners to personalize offers and recommendations. Typically includes user data such as weight, height, goals, level of fitness, and activity
Personalization and Recommendations
Algorithms analyze user information to better select individual training tracks, offer nutrition advice, diet plans, and sleep patterns. Visualizing progress through graphs or diagrams motivates users to continue their fitness journey
Exercise Database, Training Programs, and Lesson Planner
Depending on the user's fitness level, provide databases of exercises or programs targeting specific muscle groups. Alternatively, generate flexible training plans tailored to individual goals and capabilities
Online Classes
Ideal for users who cannot or prefer not to visit a fitness club. Access to workouts in video, audio, or text formats that can be performed anywhere
Nutrition Time Manager and Calorie Calculators
Beyond fitness routines, a healthy lifestyle involves diet planning and meal timing. Applications can include meal planners, food databases, healthy recipes, water consumption notifications, habits, and fitness goals
Notifications, Educational Material, Integration with Mobile Gadgets, and Social Networks
Notifications serve as a valuable option for active individuals. Users can receive articles on training methods, healthy products, and combinations during breaks. Integration with portable devices and gadgets makes the fitness application versatile

Selecting Functionality for Application Tasks

Before proceeding with the development of a fitness application, it's crucial to focus on the business problems that the program should address. The choice of suitable functionality depends on these identified issues. For instance, for applications that track physical activity and exercise performance, it is essential to have functions that allow reading data from gyroscope and accelerometer sensors. It is possible to provide the option to display images or videos to demonstrate the correct execution of movements/exercises

Progress tracking options operate based on accumulating data in databases. Visualization is achieved by implementing mathematical algorithms to create charts and diagrams. Additional user motivation can be organized through receiving rewards for achievements (with gamification elements), integration with social networks, implementing a chat where enthusiasts can share their fitness results

As a company with extensive practical experience in creating such applications, we recommend carefully considering the requirements and expectations of your future application's users. Additionally, take into account the capabilities of the devices on which the app will be used and leverage available software libraries. Choosing the right features will contribute to the development of the most convenient and useful fitness app for your users

Stages and Main Steps of Developing Fitness Applications

1. Market Analysis and Project Introduction

Discuss the fitness application idea, gather information about existing competitors, and outline functionality. Develop a unique concept for potential users. Evaluate the project and create a project estimate

2. Selecting a Priority Platform, Creating Design, and Prototype

Choose the platform(s) for the fitness app (Android and/or iOS). Develop the application layout, create screens, and design UX/UI details for visualization and animation. At this stage, a prototype of the future development is presented for evaluation

3. Development and Testing Phase

Transform the prototype into a functional fitness app. Implement data transfer and integrate payment systems. Introduce support for additional utilities and smart gadgets. Conduct thorough testing to identify and resolve bugs, ensuring smooth operation across various smartphone models and ease of use

4. Publication and Support

After functionality testing, release the application for mass use on the Android and/or iOS platforms. Continuously improve the developed product to accommodate platform updates and enhance user experience

How long does it take to develop mobile fitness apps?

The development time for mobile fitness apps can vary significantly based on several factors, making it challenging to provide a precise answer. The timeline is influenced by factors such as the planned functionality and complexity of the program, the number of specialists involved, and the supported platforms. Simple Projects typically take 2 to 6 months

It's important to note that while the initial development time might be a few months, ongoing support, updates, and improvements contribute to the overall lifecycle of the application. Investing in high-quality debugging during the initial stages and providing ongoing support ensures the application works stably, minimizing issues and complaints. A well-designed and user-friendly interface can lead to increased user adoption and positive recommendations, contributing to the app's popularity and success. Ultimately, the time and cost of development can vary based on the unique requirements of each project

How to monetize a fitness app?

It is not advisable to immediately offer the app for a fee in the store since users are hesitant to pay for a utility without understanding its capabilities, functionality, and user-friendliness. If you wish to make the application a paid one, consider providing a trial version that users can access for a specified period. Once users are convinced of the product's quality, they may be more willing to make a purchase
Incorporating brand advertising within the application stands out as one of the most popular methods for generating revenue for owners of such software. This approach increases revenue from sales for the company, provides profit for the software owner through advertising, and offers users a free app
Another strategy is to offer users a free application with limited functionality, such as basic features for counting steps and tracking physical activity. More extensive functionality for achieving enhanced fitness results can be included in the paid "premium" segment. Users can opt to pay for additional features, including ad removal, access to a personal trainer, and individualized lesson calendars
Subscription models are also effective for revenue generation, providing users with access to the complete functionality of the fitness app for a recurring fee. This model often includes exclusive content, advanced features, and a more personalized experience
