UX
The First 3 Minutes
How to get users to their first workout without overwhelming them.
Long onboarding quizzes ("What are your goals? What is your body type?") are a relic of 2015. Get them into the core loop immediately.
Ask only what is strictly necessary to configure their first session. If you need their height and weight, ask for it when they go to calculate their BMI or 1RM, not before they've even seen the app's dashboard.
