Many sports enthusiasts struggle to find affordable and
accessible opportunities to improve their skills and connect
with like-minded individuals. Training options,
such as hiring a personal trainer or joining a gym, can be costly
and time-consuming.
Exert is designed to connect people based on their sports interests and skill levels so they can share knowledge without financial barriers. The goal is to help users learn new skills, improve their performance, and build a supportive community.
We plan to measure effectiveness by tracking the number of skill-sharing sessions initiated and users’ satisfaction with the learning experience.
We conducted user interviews and created personas to understand users’ needs and pain points. Initially, we assumed that the main challenge for sports
enthusiasts was finding training partners.
Our research showed that accessibility, affordability, and community were equally important. These findings will guide the app’s design to better
address users’ needs.
- Difficulty finding reliable and compatible training partners
- Lack of accessible and affordable coaching or training
- Limited opportunities for community building and social interaction
- Challenges in tracking progress and setting goals
