02 / AI PRODUCT CASE STUDY

MusclePilot

A fitness-planning app that builds a personalized workout from the user’s target muscle group.

  • Product Design
  • Workout Planning
  • MVP

Context

Designed a fitness-assistance product for independent training to address not knowing what to train for a target muscle, unfamiliar equipment and repetitive routines.

Product Design

Built the core flow from target muscle → exercise recommendation → user selection → today’s workout generation → set-by-set logging → workout summary, with warm-up, main training, stretching, equipment guidance and history modules.

Iteration

Completed the PRD, information architecture and product prototype, then validated the exercise library, defined recommendation rules and built the project MVP.

01 / CONTEXT

context

The project focuses on independent gym-goers and the complete experience from choosing a target area and discovering exercises to recording and reviewing a workout.

Help users structure a workout clearly even without a personal trainer.
02 / PROBLEM

problem

Gym users often face three problems: not knowing what to train for a target muscle, not knowing how to use equipment, and repeating the same movements for too long.

The problem is not only a missing plan, but a missing path that is understandable, selectable and actionable.
03 / INSIGHT

insight

Users should retain control over exercise selection. The system should support discovery, planning, logging and review rather than make opaque decisions for them.

Recommendations must be explainable, with the final workout confirmed by the user.
04 / SOLUTION

solution

Built the core flow: target muscle → exercise recommendations → user selection → today’s workout generation → set-by-set logging → training summary.

Connect exercise discovery, workout organization and training history into one loop.
MusclePilot target selection, exercise recommendation and today’s workout screens
Key screens: move from target selection to exercise choice and generate a workout covering warm-up, main training and stretching.
05 / PRODUCT DESIGN

product design

Designed warm-up, main training, stretching, equipment guidance and training history around the core loop, while allowing users to add, remove and reorder exercises.

The system provides structure while keeping room for user adjustment.

User flow: goal and exercise discovery → workout organization → execution, review and history.
06 / AI WORKFLOW

ai workflow

The current MVP prioritizes a validated exercise library, explainable recommendation logic and workout-planning rules instead of claiming unverified model capabilities.

Establish reliable exercises and rules first, then expand intelligent capabilities.
07 / BUILD

build

Completed the PRD, information architecture and product prototype, then validated the exercise library, organized recommendation rules and built the project MVP.

Moved from documentation and flows to a demonstrable MVP.
08 / RESULTS

results

Completed the product requirements, information architecture, user flow, key screens, exercise recommendation rules and project MVP. Real-user metrics are not yet available.

The current result is a testable product prototype and structured workout logic.
