Concept App | UX\UI
Overview
Combining yoga, pilates, and mindfulness with nature and community is the formula for a healthier, more balanced and better life. This project's concept has been designed to encourage people to take a break from their busy routines, go out in the great outdoors, make new friends, and practice yoga, pilates and mindfulness.
Problem
Yoga, Pilates, and mindfulness training are more popular than ever before and there is a great demand for them. However, both trainers and trainees sometimes struggle to connect with each other.
Newly qualified professional trainers struggle to connect with trainees. While the trainees have trouble fitting social and sport activities into their busy schedules.
Solution
A map-based social application that connects trainers and trainees for outdoor yoga, pilates and mindfulness classes. Wherever you are, whenever you can and with whoever you prefer.
Personas
In order to design a platform that would be a perfect meeting place for trainers and trainees, I first had to understand the frustrations that they both face today. I interviewed several trainers and trainees which helped me to create two kinds of personas

Pain Points
Trainee's frustrations
Concerns about social issues and uncertainty
Fear of feeling embarrassed to join a new training group without knowing the members and the trainer.
Find A trainer that fits your needs
Fear of the unknown can cause one to avoid from joining a class because of the uncertainties.
Time And Place
A busy schedule and a dynamic lifestyle lead to a fear of commitment to a specific place at a specific time, which leads to not committing at all.
Trainer's frustrations
Exposure
It takes time, money, and skills to stand out among the many skilled trainers on social media in order to reach out to new trainees.
Self Management
lack of resources for managing oneself as a freelancer at the beginning. Setting a training system, collecting payments, providing feedback and so on.
Community
It's difficult to stay updated when you don't know other trainers who face similar challenges. you have no one to consult, share, or be inspired by

Task Flow
I decided to focus on the trainee's journey by putting a special emphasis on two essential flows: Onboarding and scheduling a class. The flow charts below illustrate the options, actions and decisions the trainee needs to make along the way.
Wireframes
After defining tasks and creating flowcharts. I began building wireframes. Which helped to define the main structures and plan the layout and interaction of the app. From planning to final design, I've included material screens with before and after comparisons so you can see the process I went through
