Apps are overall a powerful tool. They help us study, keep up with friends and family, manage duties and tasks. They are also extremely helpful for fitness and wellness. In this article, we will cover all the aspects of having a mobile app for fitness purposes.
There are an incredible number of useful features that can be added to the mobile app to make it more appealing to users. Here are some points that seem the most winning for users:
Keep track of your progress
Of course, you can go the old way and keep a diary for your progress, but let’s be honest, it’s a huge waste of time. Most fitness apps provide a feature that allows you to track your progress, which lets users monitor the exercise they’ve done or how many calories they consumed and burned. Some apps even include photo and measurement features, so you can actually see your progress.
Count your steps
A great way to get some exercise is to walk as much as you can. Take the stairs instead of an elevator or park further than you need, and you will be able to complete your daily goal. An appealing app for users will track all those steps and record the progress. And it seems like a lot of companies know about such appeal, since plenty of them already have this tracker.
Guide
Another winning feature is the exercise guides. They can be in different forms – text, photos or videos, and they are intended to show users the right way of doing the exercises. Although it seems like it’s the most logical thing to have for a fitness app, actually not as many companies add such feature. So, trust us when we say that by adding this guide, you will drastically increase the popularity of your app.
Distancing
Every situation in the world impacts the trends. Recent circumstances that made everyone distance themselves from society have also impacted the way business works. We can see a great number of apps and services that allow users and customers to do everything from the comfort of their home. The fitness industry is not an exception, and we can see many examples of awesome apps for getting fit and improving your health.
Healthy mind – healthy body
Yoga and meditation become more and more popular by the day, and many turn to wellness. Guided meditation is the most desirable feature for an app that focuses on wellness. Besides, you can add the sounds of nature or any type of sound with different frequencies, so the users will have the fullest experience using your app.
You are what you eat
Last but not least is a nutrition calculator and meal ideas. Working out is great, but you won’t see much of a result if your nutrition is poor. Apps make meal prep and nutrition count much easier and you no longer need to keep a notebook and do the math yourself, you have a program that will do that for you.
