Fitalike App Case Study
How We Built a Complete Fitness App Connecting Users with Professional Trainers
Our client, Fitalike, wanted to create a fitness app that helps clients from fitness clubs connect with certified fitness trainers for personal guidance and support. The idea was to create one simple app where users could find trainers, chat in real time, make secure payments, manage their subscriptions, and leave ratings after sessions.
We helped turn this idea into a complete fitness solution, which included building an Android app, improving the existing iOS app, and developing a powerful admin panel to manage everything from one place.

Fitalike - Project Goal
High subscription fees and poor app usability were making fitness tracking and connecting with trainers harder for users. The goal was to update the outdated iOS app to make it easier to use and add new features. At the same time, the app needed to be available for Android users. The aim was to create a cross-platform experience for both iOS and Android users. The focus was on simple onboarding, secure trainer payments, real-time communication, and giving admins full control over users, activity, and payments.
Challenges and Solutions
Building a Cross-Platform Fitness Experience
The client already had an iOS app, but no Android version. This limited growth and reach. Keeping features consistent across both platforms was also a challenge.
Our Solution
We built a complete Android app with the same core features as iOS and added new improvements to both platforms. This ensured a smooth and consistent experience for all users, no matter which device they use.
Making It Easy to Find the Right Trainer
Users needed a quick, simple way to find fitness professionals based on location and popularity. Without this, engagement could drop fast.
Our Solution
We added smart profile discovery with filters like spotlight, nearby, new, and popular. Using such features, users can easily browse, like or dislike profiles, and connect with trainers that match their needs.
Supporting Real-Time Communication
Fitness coaching depends on quick and clear communication. The challenge was to make in-app messaging fast, reliable, and easy to use.
Our Solution
We integrated real-time chat so users and trainers can message instantly. The app also supports image sharing, chat requests, and notifications for messages, likes, and accepted connections.
Secure Payments and Building Trust
Users needed a safe way to pay trainers, and trainers needed confidence that payments would be handled fairly.
Our Solution
Our team added a secure checkout and payment holding system. So, payments are made when services are completed. Users can also rate trainers with a 5-star system after services to help build trust and maintain service quality.

Admins could view everything happening on the platform, and users had a safe and simple way to connect with trainers. The app turned an idea into a real fitness platform that helps users stay active, connect with trainers, and manage their fitness journey every day.
