LyvFit - Case Study of a Fitness App Development

about

Summary

LyvFit is a fitness app for iOS. The app is all about convenient and friendly personal training sessions. Users get 24/7 access to personal workouts. Check out how we built it.

Project Idea

The client came to us with a brilliant idea to build an app that allows people to work out with certified coached without going to the gym. LyvFit should have a list of workouts as well as personal trainers.

Users should have the ability to choose a workout or a coach, schedule a training session, and train muscles in the nearest gym They should also be able to pay for workouts and review trainers.

And there should also be an app for trainers. Trainer app should allow fitness trainers to sign up, verify their identity and skills, sell their services, and carry out personalized training sessions.

Train anywhere and anytime

Precision-timed workouts and professional coaches

LyvFit goes wherever users go. Users can work out anywhere at a park, at a community gym, at home, at a backyard or at a hotel room. LyvFit trainers will come anywhere and anytime to carry out a training session.

There is a wide choice of workouts as well as coaches. And users can even book a session the same day. Booking a training session is easy as abc. Users need to choose a trainer, send a request, and train muscles. Users can pay for a single session or buy one of the available LyvFit plans without leaving the app.

All LyvFit trainers are certified and only highest-rated trainers are allowed to use the platform. Users can get superb training anywhere they go. LyvFit is a great help for people who often travel for business or leisure. They don’t have to stop working out while out of the city or country.

How to Create a Fitness App

Thinking about making your own fitness application, but don't know where to start? After working on multiple sports apps, our developers decided to write a blog post about it, sharing their experience. We hope it will help you to understand the whole app development process and will answer all the remaining questions. And when you are ready to start the development - you know where to find us! (yes, it's mail@mova.io)

iOS vs Android: Which Platform is the Best

LyvFit was released exclusively for App Store. It allowed project owners to save money for additional polishing, advertisement, and marketing. It helped a lot! Of course, we could develop an app for both platforms, to cover more users, but that could be risky. Fewer funds for application marketing can result in an unknown (and unused) product. In this blog post, we share our experience to help you decide whether you should start with Android, iOS, or both platforms.

Uber-like App Estimations

LyvFit app is very similar to Uber: it has customers and service providers. Customers are average users who are looking for a service. Service providers provide these services. In addition application includes messaging, booking, payments, and more. Check our estimations for Uber-like apps, and write to us when you will be ready to start development at mail@mova.io
