Research

To learn more about our potential audience, we conducted a broad audience survey that provided general data on usage, attitudes, and behavior. The data gave us a quantitative foundation and greater statistical confidence about the problem. Our results aligned with studies conducted by other organizations.

  • Do you currently participate in any sports activity?
  • Why do you not participate in sports activities?
  • Have you tried any of these alternatives to exercise consistently?

Communicating Research Findings

We used user personas to clarify who we were designing for and to provide a communication tool that conveyed user needs to stakeholders.

Jobs to Be Done

To explore the tasks users perform to achieve their goals, we applied the Jobs to Be Done framework. We created two canvases to identify the job executor and the market. With those elements defined, we established the core functional job using statements collected from prospective users who matched the profile.

To gain a complete view and identify innovation opportunities, we created a job map covering the stages of define, locate, prepare, organize, confirm, verify, execute, monitor, modify, and conclude.

We shared the core functional job with collaborators to align our efforts:

Core Functional Job: Improve physical and mental well being.

Design Proposal

All in One

We needed a system that provided the tools required to care for physical and mental well being. Exercise, nutrition, or psychology alone would not solve the problem; an integrated approach combining all three was essential.

Time to Value

Prospective users needed to optimize their time and find efficient ways to care for their physical and mental health. The product needed to feel valuable with minimal effort.

Powerful

Users had limited time to exercise and build healthy habits. It was essential to provide an accessible tool that could adapt to different usage contexts.

Development

Development with No Code Tools

During development, we chose Webflow. However, the backend could not fully support the planned user flow. We adapted the design and masked certain processes, such as sending invitations to online sessions manually instead of automating them.

Performance Monitoring

Unmoderated Remote Usability Testing

After launching the first pilot solution, we monitored the user experience quantitatively. On average, users stayed on the page for eight seconds and most took no action.

Usability TestingFrom May 1 through May 31, 2023, 5.5% of visitors started the appointment booking process, while only 0.3% completed it successfully.

Learning

Moderated In Person Usability Testing

We selected 10 users from the Zona Running database and asked them to book an appointment on the site. We gathered firsthand feedback:

  • Users did not clearly understand the service being offered.
  • They felt uncertain about providing banking information.
  • They felt the wait to schedule after payment was too long, creating distrust.

Learning

Website Redesign

Based on performance monitoring and moderated testing, we identified the need to optimize the appointment request process and design new interfaces that properly met accessibility and usability standards.

Handoff (Delivery)

The new redesign is in development to better address user needs and align with the findings. To support implementation, we provided detailed CSS specifications and used Figma Dev Mode to accelerate design handoff.

Learning

Website Redesign

After our second iteration, feedback channels revealed additional opportunities:

  • Provide first class customer service without hours or days of waiting.
  • Include more diverse physical training services focused on building muscle mass.

These needs led us to rethink the concept and optimize the user flow for booking professionals on the platform. This new concept is currently being designed; this is the progress made on the home page hero section.

Learning

Design Process Reflection

Through regular optimizations based on usability testing, we created greater value for users. We built sections, processes, and improvements as we identified opportunities across the site.

Our site increased trust in the digital product and strengthened the brand's position. This impact enhanced our marketing campaigns, automated part of the sales funnel, and helped users evaluate the value proposition more quickly.

As a result, we reduced the conversion process time by approximately 33%.
