STAQ App

One app. Every goal. STAQ was designed to eliminate the need for multiple fitness and nutrition apps — bringing running, live training, on-demand workouts, biking, dieting, and meal planning into one seamless, holistic mobile experience.

problem

Fitness enthusiasts are forced to juggle multiple apps just to manage their health — one for running, another for training, and yet another for nutrition and meal tracking. This fragmented experience creates unnecessary friction, making it harder for users to stay consistent, track progress holistically, and achieve their fitness goals. There was a clear gap in the market for a single, unified platform that could bring fitness and nutrition together in one seamless, intuitive experience.

solution

I designed STAQ — a holistic fitness and nutrition mobile app that eliminated the need for multiple platforms by consolidating running, live and on-demand training, biking, nutritional dieting, and meal recipes into one seamless native mobile experience. Grounded in user research and validated through usability testing, every feature and design decision was made with one goal in mind — giving users a single, intuitive tool to train smarter, eat better, and take full ownership of their health journey.

STAQ started with a simple frustration — why does living a healthy lifestyle require managing five different apps? I set out to change that. Through user research with eight participants, I validated what I already suspected: people were exhausted by app-switching and desperate for a unified solution. That insight drove every decision — from personas and user flows to lo-fi wireframes and high-fidelity screens. After rigorous usability testing and iterative refinement, STAQ emerged as a single, holistic mobile app combining running, live and on-demand training, biking, nutrition, and meal planning in one seamless experience.

One app. Every goal. Nothing left out.


The idea for STAQ was born out of a personal pain point — as someone passionate about fitness and nutrition, I found myself constantly switching between multiple apps just to manage my workouts and track what I was eating. That disconnect sparked a question: why doesn't a single app exist that holistically covers both fitness and nutrition? That question became the foundation for STAQ.

THE INSIGHT The idea for STAQ grew out of a recurring personal frustration — whenever fitness and nutrition came up in conversation, the answer was never one app, it was always several. A broad market audit confirmed it: Nike Training Club, Nike Run Club, and Strava owned the fitness space while MyFitnessPal, Lifesum, and Lose It! led nutrition — but nothing bridged the two. That gap sparked the central question behind STAQ: why do fitness and nutrition have to live in separate apps? That question became the foundation for everything that followed.

02

MARKET ANALYSIS A deep dive into the current fitness and nutrition landscape revealed a saturated market of specialized, siloed apps — each solving only part of the problem. The consistent gap across all of them was clear: no single platform holistically addressed both fitness and nutrition, forcing users to download and manage multiple apps just to support their health goals.o's progress tracking feature allows users to visualize their meditation journey, providing valuable insights and motivation for continuous growth.

03

INSIGHTS FROM THE FIELD To validate the problem and define the opportunity, I conducted a user study with eight participants to uncover the most pressing pain points around fitness and nutrition app usage. The research aimed to understand which tools users were currently relying on, what they wished those tools could do, and whether a single, holistic fitness and nutrition app would genuinely excite and motivate them to make a switch.

04

PLAN OF ATTACK With user research insights in hand, I translated findings into action — developing a user flow, sitemap, and lo-fi sketches to establish a clear structural foundation and map the full STAQ user journey before moving into high-fidelity design.

05

WIREFRAMING With the user journey mapped, I developed wireframes that explored key design decisions across onboarding, navigation structure, and imagery placement — establishing a solid visual and functional framework to guide the high-fidelity design phase.

UI DESIGN Among the key screens designed for STAQ were the onboarding flow, home screen, goal setting, and live training sessions — each crafted to deliver a intuitive, motivating experience that guided users seamlessly through their fitness and nutrition journey from day one.
