Discover Movement Connect

Discover Movement Connect is a mobile application designed to unify scheduling, coaching, and client communication for a functional strength and pain management gym. The app integrates with the gym's existing scheduling and membership platform and replaces a third-party coaching tool as the primary method for delivering personalized training programs.

The project focused on reducing administrative friction for the coaching staff while giving clients a seamless, centralized experience for managing their training, booking sessions, and tracking progress.

Coaches and clients rely on a patchwork of disconnected tools for scheduling, program delivery, and communication. Programs are delivered through one platform, scheduling through another, and communication through texts and email. This fragmentation leads to lost information, duplicated effort, and inconsistent client experiences.

The goal was to design a unified mobile experience that brings scheduling, coaching, and client communication into a single platform, keeping data synced with the scheduling platform automatically so the coaching staff can focus on what they do best.

Research began with stakeholder interviews, workflow observation, and a review of the tools already in use. Key methods included:

• In-depth interviews with the head coach to understand daily workflows and pain points
• Client feedback sessions to identify friction in booking, communication, and program access
• Competitive analysis of existing scheduling and coaching platforms to identify integration gaps and feature overlap
• Workflow mapping to visualize how information flows between coach, client, and platform

Key Pain Points

Two primary personas were developed to represent the core user types: the coach/business owner and the client.

Initial wireframes were sketched on paper to explore layout and flow before moving into digital. The focus was on establishing clear information hierarchy and intuitive navigation across the five core screens.

Digital Wireframes

Paper sketches were translated into clean digital wireframes, focusing on layout structure, component placement, and user flow without the distraction of color or branding.

The lo-fi prototype established the core layout and navigation structure with simplified visuals, focusing on screen flow and information hierarchy before applying the full visual identity.

Usability study findings will be added as testing is completed. This section will include task success rates, key observations, and design iterations based on participant feedback.

The high-fidelity prototypes bring the full visual identity to life, applying the brand's dark theme and orange accent colors to the refined wireframes with polished UI components and interactions ready for development.
