Custom Workout Builder
CAROL wanted to develop a new custom workout builder as a powerful, flexible training tool. The brief was to develop a UX/UI to allow customers the ability to create their own custom workouts linked to their (or their trainers) specific workout needs. The idea would be that CAROL’s custom workout builder would deliver the perfect personalised workouts for home, travel, and the gym for any customer.

Research
Started to research in detail different custom workout builders from a number of different companies including Zwift, Kineticoach, and Tonal to get a better understanding of how a custom workout builder might work within the CAROL platform.
Personas
For the hardcore enthusiasts who ride CAROL everyday and are looking for a new challenge in their workout and who would be keen to create their own custom ride to achieve new goals and share them on the CAROL platform.
User Flow
The focus was around creating a custom workout with name and description of the workout, being able to add multiple stages including time duration and resistance control, and be able to then share it on the CAROL platform with friends.
Concepts
With the research gathered from the CEO, I started to put together rough sketches on the board for the custom workout builder, and how it could potentially function on the CAROL bike (and brand), as well as considerations for integrating it into the shared functionality we already have on the mobile platform.
Wireframes
The initial sketches provided a good outline for the wireframes, focusing on a timeline or workout duration with the ability to add stages/blocks giving the user the flexibility to change things like duration and control over each stage of the workout builder.
Visual Design
The key item for this design was the central time line and block builders. Each of these were created within the newly formed CAROL branding, but also keeping the design simple and relatively plain for users. For an internal review, I also put together a brief demo/prototype for the CEO and Developers to get feedback on structure, design and the content within the custom workout builder.
