Overview

In training for my frst HYROX race, I wanted to create a training analytics dashboard to optimize my work out split to balance strength, cardio, pilates, and mobility.

Defining the Opportunity

Training data was spread across multiple platforms and individual workouts, making it difficult to understand progress over time. This included apps like Strava, Runna, Solidcore, and RepCount (a weight training app).

I wanted a single source of truth that could help me evaluate consistency, identify trends, and make better training decisions.

  • Workout logs captured activity but not meaningful insights
  • Difficult to see long-term progress + trends
  • Too much data without prioritization
  • Needed a system that was easy enough to maintain consistently
Performance Metrics
  • Track 6 months of training data
  • Maintain weekly logging consistency
  • Reduce time spent reviewing workouts
  • Quickly answer questions like: Am I training consistently? Where are my gaps?
Understanding the User

I evaluated existing fitness tracking tools and identified what information is most valuable for making informed training decisions. This had the goal of empowering users to interpret trends themselves.

Information Architecture

Using the research to make informed decisions, I then played with the information architecture. This loosely follows the spreadsheet above, with the addition of two other categories: Other and Investment.

Dashboard Design

Transforming a rough concept into a dynamic Google Sheets tool.

Data Visualization

I designed visualizations based on the type of insight each metric needed to communicate, using line charts to highlight progress over time, bar charts for comparisons, and pivot tables for detailed workout history to translate to sythesized insights.

Wishlist Improvements

I am still using this dashboard and will continue to iterate as needs or friction come up.

With more dedicated time, resources, and collaborative expertise, here are the wishlist items that I'd love to integrate to create an easier, more comprehensive dashboard:

  • Formally develop a website + mobile app
  • Automate data imports from fitness platforms
  • Add predictive training recommendations
