Overview
Pulsegrid is a strength-training app that adapts your program in real time based on performance, recovery, and how you actually show up — not a rigid template. We designed the full experience: the adaptive workout player, progress rings that celebrate consistency, and a companion watch app for logging between sets. The visual language is dark, focused, and free of the guilt-tripping common in fitness apps.
The Challenge
Fitness apps generate a lot of data, and early prototypes overwhelmed users with charts and numbers. The challenge was making rich performance data feel calm and encouraging rather than clinical — and keeping the workout player glanceable mid-set.
The Outcome
Pulsegrid launched to 50,000+ downloads in its first quarter with a 4.7-star rating. Day-30 retention improved 38% over the previous version, and the watch app now logs more than half of all recorded sets.
