Sport is a critical part of human life. Not only does it ensure that we’re physically fit it’s also great for our mental health. Unfortunately, many struggle to maintain a proper workout routine, for many different reasons.
Thankfully, health and fitness apps today help us plug that gap. These apps provide users with information and support to maintain healthy routines and track fitness improvements over time.
For fitness trainers around the world, they provide a unique way to share (and monetize) their knowledge and experience in the world of fitness.
And, where building an app of this nature used to be impossible for those without a technical background, no code platforms like Bubble.io now ensure that even non-technical fitness trainers can design an app to help provide their community with better curated routines.
Fitness App Features
To build a top shelf fitness app in today’s world, your app must be tuned in to modern fitness realities. Of course, the exact features included in your app will depend on your ideas for the app (nutrition, weight loss/gain, muscle building, etc.).
how it's easy to build a nice easy-to-read layout in Bubble that support their users easily finding the right classes of what they're looking for (what we can do for them). Plus mention filters so users can filter by category or type of class.
Whether your app is focused on the nutrition or workout sub-niches, Bubble’s robust database filtering feature will allow you to design different plans for different user groups. This could be done by filtering using a user’s age, weight, gender, height, fitness level, fitness goals, etc.
User’s can be asked a few questions upon signing up to help you determine the best category for their needs, in order to match them with the best category for their needs.
The plan itself can be presented in a nice, easy-to-use layout using Bubble’s custom database feature. Data here can be organized by goals, daily requirements, or both. It could also include images, videos, or step-by-step text description to help users understand the requirements.
These plans will also need to be flexible to the user’s needs. The ideal workout routine and/or nutrition plan is a factor of a user’s gender, age, weight, height, and fitness level, among others.
Finally, users should be able to create their own plans/to-do lists, mark any activity they complete, and generally just track their progress as they move along. It can also be a good idea to offer social sharing integration so users can share their activities with others.
All of this can be accomplished on Bubble by simply adding a plugin and updating a few settings. Through a combination of Bubble’s native features and the plugins provided in the marketplace, you can build out a fitness app to match your dreams.
Examples of Fitness Apps on Bubble
More than a few fitness apps have been built using Bubble since its inception. These include personalized workout coaching apps like My Daily Workouts, as well as fitness tracker apps like Workout Dash.
Applying the principles above, My Daily Workouts segments users according to their goals – get completely shredded versus gaining weight. Each user is also able to build a custom workout plan by selecting from different routines grouped according to the body part they help (abs, legs, biceps, etc).
Likewise, Workout Dash takes advantage of Bubble’s advanced filtering to enable users create personalized plans and track how they’re performing with respect to the plan.
Whatever your goal may be, Bubble’s many features and integrations make it possible for you to build a sophisticated fitness app to help improve the world from your own little corner.
