Overview & context

At Precor (Peloton Commercial), I worked on the operating system for the touchscreen consoles on the next generation of workout machines.

Our goal was to reimagine and design an OS that:

  • facilitates comprehensive oversight of the exerciser's personalized fitness journey

  • drives social engagement

  • supports studio-published workout content

  • is part of a connected fitness experience that extends beyond the machine

The old OS

The legacy OS on the consoles was first introduced in 2013 and lacked the following features:

  • Performance tracking (during and post-workout only)

  • Varying types of workouts (pre-configured or customized)

  • Limited 3rd party workouts

  • Limited media apps (E.g. Netflix, Spotify, etc)

The user interface was severely outdated and inaccessible in some areas of the product.

NextGen OS is a complete re-imagining of this experience.

Conclusion

As one of the Product Designers on this team, I had a large impact on the designs of individual features (i.e. My Stats) and the operating system as a whole.

I was involved in user research, concept development, design iterations, high-fidelity visual designs, user testing, and design QA.

Through collaboration with our fitness scientists, Marketing, content studios, Engineering, and leadership we successfully designed a completely new experience for exercisers.
