Gym Experience & Fitness Apps Survey

Hi! I'm conducting research for a Product Design project about the digital experience offered by gym chains.

I want to understand how people maintain their gym routine, perceive progress after workouts, and use gym apps and community features.

The survey should take approximately 4–6 minutes.

Your responses will be used only for research and portfolio purposes. There are no right or wrong answers — I'm interested in your real experience.

No, but I had a membership within the past 12 months

How often do you usually go to the gym?

Less than once a week

1–2 times a week

3–4 times a week

5 or more times a week

I'm not currently going to the gym

How long have you been going to the gym regularly?

Less than 3 months

I'm not currently going regularly

What type of gym do you currently attend or most recently attended?

Suggestions for your next workout

What would make you want to open your gym's app right after finishing a workout?

Does your current gym have its own app?

What do you currently use your gym's app for?

Membership management

Exercise instructions

Community/social features

I don't use my gym's app

What would make your gym's app more useful to you?

Progress and recognition

Do you currently track your workout progress?

What types of progress are meaningful to you?

Improving endurance/fitness

Working out more frequently

Setting personal records

Completing a difficult workout

Changes in appearance

Changes in body measurements

Improving health/well-being

Learning new exercises

Reaching personal goals

How would you feel if your gym's app automatically highlighted meaningful progress after a workout?

For example: a personal record, improved consistency, reaching a milestone, or improving compared with a previous workout.

Which type of recognition would be most valuable to you?

Seeing my progress clearly

Achievements/badges

Progress toward personal goals

Encouragement from friends

Recognition from other gym members

Sharing and community

Do you currently share your workouts or fitness progress with other people?

What might stop you from sharing a workout?

I don't want others judging my performance

I don't think my workouts are interesting to other people

I don't want to compare myself with others

I don't want to look like I'm showing off

I don't know the other members

I don't want fitness content on my social media

Sharing takes too much effort

I'm not interested in social features

Nothing would stop me

If your gym had a members-only community in its app, how interested would you be in seeing other members' workouts, milestones, or achievements?

If you could share a workout within your gym's app, who would you prefer to be able to see it?

People I follow / who follow me

Members of my gym location

Any member of the gym chain

I wouldn't use this feature

How would you feel if you shared a workout and received no likes, comments, or reactions?

It wouldn't matter to me

I would notice, but it wouldn't affect me

I might feel slightly discouraged

I would probably share less often

I would stop using the social feature

Imagine your gym had one app where you could manage your membership, log workouts, see your progress, receive achievements, join challenges, optionally interact with other members, and access exclusive benefits. How useful would this type of app be to you?
