SUMMARY
Aura Fit is a personalized fitness app designed to help young adults with chronic health and mental health issues. Inspired by research on user struggles with traditional apps, Aura Fit combines AI-guided gym equipment recognition, culturally relevant workouts, and mental health support to create a holistic and inclusive experience. Refined its features through testing and feedback to address user pain points, like confidence in gym settings and lack of motivation. Aura Fit matters because it bridges the gap between accessibility and personalization, empowering users to build sustainable, healthy habits.
challenge
Stakeholder needs revealed key gaps in existing fitness apps: lack of personalized guidance for users with chronic conditions, limited cultural inclusivity in workouts, and insufficient motivation tools. Through interviews and research, we discovered young adults often feel intimidated by gyms, struggle with maintaining habits, and need mental health support alongside fitness. This presented opportunities to create an app that offers AI-guided equipment recognition, culturally tailored content, and a gamified rewards system—addressing these barriers while fostering long-term engagement.
Outcome
Aura Fit evolved into a personalized fitness app that combines AI-guided gym equipment recognition, daily tracking tools, culturally inclusive workouts, and mental health support. These features directly address stakeholder needs by building confidence in gym settings, creating motivation through community challenges and rewards, and fostering inclusivity for users with chronic or cultural fitness preferences. Integrating user feedback, Aura Fit fills market gaps with a holistic approach to fitness, prioritizing accessibility, personalization, and sustainable habit-building.
