The Challenge

Understanding the problem

With countless fitness apps available, most are either overly complex or require gym equipment. This app aimed to bring simple, equipment-free workouts to users of all levels while keeping performance light and UX intuitive on low-end devices.

Designing an intuitive UI that motivates daily fitness engagement

Ensuring workouts and animations feel natural and clear with Jetpack Compose

Optimizing performance for low-spec devices

Providing customizable workout levels from beginner to advanced

Maintaining smooth offline access to exercise instructions

The Solution

How I approached it

I built a structured home workout app that allows users to perform guided bodyweight exercises designed by fitness experts — without needing gym equipment. The app leverages a modern Kotlin and Jetpack Compose UI, backed by Firebase for real-time personalization and local persistence for offline access.

Key Features Implemented
