DEKA
Functional fitness through training systems
Objective
DEKA is a fitness competition series by Spartan that tests functional fitness through 10 workout zones (DEKA Zones). The objective for this project was to create a straightforward and easy way for competitors to track each workout and quickly move to the next.
Requirements
We needed to ensure the app included a timer that clearly indicated the competitor's current zone, advanced to the next workout, tracked gender and age, recorded workout history, and helped users find races and equipment for these events. This needed to be an iOS app with accompanying Watch functionality.
Exploration
The application was pretty cut and dry as far functionality and architecture. We explored a few ways to display the timer and each workout, but the entire project went quickly and took about a week to complete the design requirements.
Solution
We decided to open the app with questions regarding gender and age group so we could display the proper workouts and races that corresponded. The dashboard of the app included a large timer so a competitor could place it down and still see how much time they’ve accrued. Below the timer were the large buttons to progress and the next workout that was coming so that the competitor would be prepared.
Summary
The DEKA app provides a beautiful and simple way to monitor your DEKA progress throughout the event, while recording your entire history of events for accountability and fun.
