Why strength-training?
What if I told you there’s a simple, accessible way for anyone to dramatically improve their quality of life that’s hiding in plain sight? Well, there is - strength-training!
At Fitbod, we’re not just focused on the advanced gym-goer. Rather, our product can unlock functional movement, strength, flexibility, and freedom from pain for millions of people. Our aim is to create“
athletes of life” - to push, pull, carry, and move well before - and crucially after - our best shape.
How? Because we have solved the key problems that have prevented strength training from scaling in the past.
A workout app with one workout:
The fitness industry promises quick fixes and shortcuts to being in the “best shape of your life”. This overpromising is overdone.
In reality, there’s no finish line to fitness. Rather, success is a life-long practice of maintaining the habit, progressing, and simply being better than yesterday. To this end, we’ve built a workout app that builds your next optimal workout and adapts to how much - or little - you exercised in the past week, month, or year.
Our fitness recommendation AI today builds completely personalized strength-training plans for hundreds of thousands of paying customers. It employs advanced statistics, machine learning and hundreds of millions of fitness data points to create highly personalized and flexible fitness plans.
Originally launched in 2015 on iOS, and 2020 on Android, Fitbod is currently a top-ranked app in Health & Fitness and heralded as an Apple's Editor's Choice recipient.
We’re just getting started!
We’ve established a recognizable brand and product-market fit with proven positive impact in hundreds of thousands of people.
However, we’ve only reached under 1% of who can benefit from our current product sophistication. Our most impactful, innovative and ambitious work is yet to be done. This includes innovating in exercise science with new, data-driven health metrics. Also, our platform could serve more diverse groups of people that today don’t have great fitness tools.
And, our user’s love and evangelize Fitbod:
Design culture:
Design has played a critical role in Fitbod’s success and remains a key part of our business strategy.
Fitbod has a
design co-founder with over 15 years of experience at small and large companies.
Company culture is rooted in a core understanding of who we’re designing for. Two of our cultural values reflect this: craftsmanship makes the difference and customer experience comes first.
New Design System Preview:
Mature user research capacity:
User research plays a core part of our product development cycle.

We’re able to ‘slice and dice’ specific cohorts of users for a variety of user research methods: interviews, prototype & traditional surveys, in-app interventions and more.
Solidified & sustainable growth strategy:
Common startup advice suggests founders operate their businesses to grow as fast as possible, while utilizing shortcuts such as growth hacks, launch and leave MVPs, hastily entering new verticals and burning cash.
Requirements:
- 8+ years experience designing for mobile, either on iOS or Android
- A pro at interaction design with a practiced visual design eye.
- A passion for leveraging user research to drive design development
- Experience with scalable design systems that support a variety of user use-cases, feature expressions, and components.
