Challenge

Building a Social-First Running Experience

The challenge was crafting a standout, community-driven fitness platform in a crowded market. Corsa needed to balance seamless usability for runners with intuitive tools for influencers, ensuring effortless engagement and monetization. For the Alpha launch, we designed a scalable, high-end experience that blends audio-guided workouts, real-time tracking, and social interaction — laying the foundation for future growth.

Solutions

Bold & Distinctive Visual Identity

Corsa’s design stands out with a vibrant, energetic aesthetic that reflects movement and momentum. A bold color palette, dynamic UI elements, and sleek typography create a fresh take on fitness app design. The onboarding experience sets the tone with engaging storytelling, high-quality visuals, and intuitive navigation, while coach-branded workout cards and a modern layout ensure a premium, differentiated look across all features.

A prominent “Start a New Run” button is highlighted in blue and purple gradient. Bottom navigation includes icons for Home, Run, Club, and You.

Users can choose the run format (Outdoor or Indoor), type of run (Just Go, Time Goal, Distance Goal, or Interval), and duration using a vertical time picker set to 20 minutes. The screen features a sleek, dark gradient background with a glowing blue arc and a prominent “Start Run” button at the bottom.

Each workout card shows the distance (e.g., 10 KM, 7 KM), the workout name (e.g., “10 km Race,” “First Speed Run”), tags like “Focused,” “Playful,” or “Easy,” and star ratings such as 4.0 and 5.0. One card is marked with a blue "New" label. A silhouetted runner and mountain landscape are visible in the blurred background.

Personalized Running for Every Style

We created a flexible, intuitive interface that dynamically adjusts to different run types — time-based, distance-based, and interval runs — ensuring a seamless guided experience. Structured progress bars, large timers, and color gradient backgrounds enhance usability and focus during workouts. Personalization elements, including music integration, real-time pace tracking, and adaptable workout plans, make the experience engaging for both casual and advanced runners. Additionally, indoor/outdoor filters allow users to easily tailor their runs to their preferred environment.

Fostering Community Through Engaging UX

Corsa’s design brings social interaction to the forefront, making every run feel like part of a larger movement. Interactive leaderboards, team-based challenges, and streamlined content-sharing encourage connection and friendly competition. A dynamic social feed, in-app messaging, and milestone celebrations foster community engagement, while gamification elements — including achievement badges and streak rewards — motivate users to stay active and connected.
