Why Forma


Fitness should support real life not punish it

Most fitness products push people to chase streaks and hit numbers without context. People see charts but do not know what to do next. Missed days feel like failure instead of a normal part of life.

Small phone screens add more stress because planning workouts becomes a constant scroll.

Many users quit within the first month because the experience feels overwhelming and judgmental.

Forma gives people space to plan reflect and stay active in a way that feels human and confident.

The Problem


People feel judged by the tools that are meant to help them


Research highlights


  • Many feel guilt when they miss a workout

  • Confusion about what to do each day stops action

  • Streak warnings increase stress not motivation

  • Rest is rarely counted as progress

  • Too many statistics with no clear direction

People wanted one message - Here is what you need today and why You are doing great


Who We Designed For

Three real people with different motivations

We created three personas from interviews and survey data. They guided every decision from navigation to tone.

Busy professional
Fitness fits around work and family
Needs fast clarity and less guilt


How Forma Helps


Less noise more direction progress that feels good

Forma supports real life through


  • A personal plan that adjusts to schedule and energy

  • Recovery that counts as progress

  • The most important thing first on screen

  • A supportive voice not a critical one

Forma removes guilt and builds confidence with every small step forward.


My Process

Insight to interface with empathy and iteration


  • Interviews and competitor review

  • Journey maps that highlight emotional moments

  • Wireframes that reduced progress statistics from 18 to 5

  • Two usability test rounds that lifted task success from 42% to above 19%

  • Final high fidelity system built in Figma with an interactive prototype


From Chaos to Clarity

Every change simplified decisions and increased motivation

We removed pressure rings calorie counters by default and complicated workout builders. We replaced them with kind progress messages and fast next steps.

This helped users feel more calm more aware and more in control.



AI Coach

Friendly planning in seconds


  • Ask - Can you give me a leg day plan

  • Receive - Clear sets timing and goals

  • Act - One click to add it to your week


Daily engagement increased from 38% to 84%. 30 day retention improved by 30%

People liked the feeling of accomplishment “It feels like this supports me instead of criticizing me”

Testing results

Clear interactions improved confidence


  • Task success reached above ninety percent

  • Confidence rose from 3.1 to 6.2 out of 7

  • People strongly preferred the supportive tone

Final experience

A premium interface that celebrates every step


  • Dark calm aesthetic with soft teal focus

  • Guided steps for real life routines

  • Simple progress tracking that reduces anxiety

Forma proves that when fitness feels kind people show up more and stay proud of their progress.
