The Campaign

PROBLEM To join the Australian Defence Force (ADF) all applicants have to pass a Pre Entry Fitness Assessment (PFA). Passing is achievable with a basic level of fitness, but each year approximately 16% of applicants fail. This is a significant loss of potential recruits every year for the ADF. SOLUTION An easy to use app that assesses an applicant’s current fitness level, then formulates a unique exercise program based on the time they have left until their PFA. Personal trainers and over 40 videos inspire and coach the applicant through their program, which adjusts based on their performance. RESULTS Over 26,000 downloads in the first 6 months 4+ Rating on iOS and Android

PROBLEM To join the Australian Defence Force (ADF) all applicants have to pass a Pre Entry Fitness Assessment (PFA). Passing is achievable with a basic level of fitness, but each year approximately 16% of applicants fail. This is a significant loss of potential recruits every year for the ADF. SOLUTION An easy to use app that assesses an applicant’s current fitness level, then formulates a unique exercise program based on the time they have left until their PFA. Personal trainers and over 40 videos inspire and coach the applicant through their program, which adjusts based on their performance. USER INTERFACE HIGHLIGHTS: 1. CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAM SETUP Using personal trainer characters, the setup flow for the app is run through a messenger style UI, turning the setup process into something much more engaging and personalised. 2. PROGRAM DASHBOARD Users are able to create completely custom workout programmes based on their fitness level and the time until their assessment. The dashboard is focused around that day’s activity but also allows people to get a view of their upcoming workouts, and keeps them motivated by tracking their progress and displaying the achievement badges that they’ve earned. 3. WORKOUT SCREENS We filmed over 40 detailed instructional videos for each of the exercises in the app. Users are able to give feedback on how they performed in each exercise via an intuitive scrolling input interface. RESULTS Over 26,000 downloads in the first 6 months 4+ Rating on iOS and Android
