What are the main challenges and difficulties encountered by users who are new to technology when attempting to perform basic tasks within the workout app?

How well do users who are new to technology understand the instructional content, exercise descriptions, and guidance provided within the workout app?

What features or functionalities of the workout app are most confusing or overwhelming for users who are new to technology, and how can these be simplified or improved?

empathy

Research for Get Fitt revealed opportunities to improve the user experience for non-tech-savvy individuals. Competitors offer quality services but lack customization and clear guidance. Get Fitt can stand out by providing step-by-step guides, diverse workouts (yoga, pilates, low-impact), and tools like progress tracking and goal setting. FAQs, troubleshooting tips, and personalized support ensure ease of use. Regularly gathering feedback will help refine the app, creating a user-friendly fitness platform for beginners and non-tech users.

define

The design framework process hinges on a critical stage where research findings are synthesized, and core problems are identified. During this phase, designers analyze user insights collected from interviews, surveys, and observations to craft user personas and journey maps. These tools provide a deep understanding of users' needs, motivations, and pain points.

By defining a clear problem statement, designers can concentrate their efforts on creating solutions that are both user-centered and aligned with business objectives. This stage lays the groundwork for ideation and prototyping, ensuring the design process is informed by a comprehensive understanding of users and their context. Ultimately, this approach leads to more impactful and meaningful design outcomes.
