Fitness Apps for a City Built Around Moving
Between the Lady Bird Lake trail, the Greenbelt, and one of the country's fastest-growing health-tech scenes, Austin doesn't lack for fitness culture. We build the apps that turn that activity into a product.
Health Tech Built to Last
What Keeps Users Coming Back
Real Wearable Data Sync
Reliable, low-lag integration with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, and Bluetooth Low Energy wearables, so the data users see actually matches what their device recorded.
Coaching Logic That Adapts
Workout and nutrition plans that adjust based on actual user progress and plateaus, not a static plan that ignores whether someone's improving.
Health Data Handled Correctly
Encryption and data-handling practices aligned with HIPAA-level standards for any app touching personal health information.
Retention Built Into the Product
Streaks, milestones, and social accountability features designed around what actually keeps people opening a fitness app after the first month, not just at signup.
Fitness Products We Build
Fitness apps split into a few distinct use cases, each with different technical requirements. We've built across all of them.
Guided Video Workouts
On-demand and live video workout platforms with Chromecast and AirPlay support, so users can move from following along on a phone to casting to a living room TV without losing their place.
Key Capabilities
- Chromecast & AirPlay Support
- Interactive Calorie Tracking
- Timed Interval & Circuit UI
- Background Audio Playback
Nutrition & Macro Tracking
Food logging platforms integrated with major food databases and barcode scanning, with meal-plan generation built around real macronutrient targets instead of generic calorie counts.
Key Capabilities
- Food Database & Barcode Scanning
- Custom Macro Calculations
- Automated Shopping Lists
- Progress Photo & Measurement Tracking
Connected Gym Infrastructure
IoT integration connecting gym equipment to member apps so reps, sets, and machine usage log automatically, useful for boutique studios and multi-location gyms alike.
Key Capabilities
- IoT Equipment Beacon Integration
- Automated Rep & Set Logging
- Real-Time Equipment Availability
- Member Access Control
How We Build a Fitness App
Discovery
We map your core use case, whether it's video workouts, nutrition tracking, or gym infrastructure, and which wearables need to connect.
Architecture
We design the data model for workouts, progress, and wearable sync before any screens get built.
Build in Sprints
Two-week sprints with working builds so you can test the actual coaching and tracking logic as it develops.
Device & Field Testing
We test HealthKit, Google Fit, and BLE wearable integrations against real hardware, not just simulators.
Launch & Support
We stay on to monitor engagement and retention data after launch, since that's where most fitness apps actually win or lose.
Local Health Tech Expertise
Built in a City That Actually Uses Fitness Apps
Austin's outdoor culture around Lady Bird Lake and the Greenbelt, combined with a fast-growing health-tech startup scene, means local users have high expectations for fitness products. We build with that bar in mind.
