Overview
EVEN Labs is a private coaching and training platform used by athletes and clients across Australia, Mexico, and the United States.
I redesigned the product so workouts are easy to understand mid-session, coaching context shows up when it matters, and the interface feels premium and consistent across devices.
The challenge
EVEN Labs supports coached training, which means people often open the app mid-session, on small screens, and with limited attention — sometimes under fatigue.
At the time, the experience was functional but not supportive: layouts varied between sessions, key intensity cues were easy to miss, and the UI didn’t scale thoughtfully to tablet or desktop.
The redesign needed to reduce cognitive load without stripping out coaching detail — creating an interface that feels calm during use, while still giving users confidence in what to do next.
Design approach
I used consistent structure and hierarchy to answer three questions at a glance: what the session is, how hard it will be, and what context is worth reading before starting.
Coaching detail is still there — but it appears in the moments it’s needed, rather than competing with the workout itself.
Making workouts easy to scan and act on
Workout layouts were redesigned to be consistent, calm, and predictable. A clearer typographic rhythm, spacing, and sectioning makes the workout flow obvious — so users don’t have to interpret the UI while training.
Supporting users when they need guidance
Not every session is intuitive, and that’s expected. The UI surfaces videos when movement explanation is needed, and short coaching notes when context matters — without getting in the way for confident users.
Visualising effort and intensity
To help users understand a workout before committing to it, I introduced simple effort visuals that communicate intensity over time. Users can scan a session in seconds, prepare mentally, and trust the structure of the program.
A cohesive system across devices
Alongside usability improvements, I elevated the visual system with refined typography, spacing, and contrast — reducing noise and improving focus in a training context.
I also redesigned key views for tablet and desktop (rather than stretching mobile), so each device supports a slightly different way of planning and completing sessions.
Results
The redesigned experience made EVEN Labs easier to understand at a glance, calmer during use, and more credible as a paid coaching product. Users can quickly see what they need to do, understand the intent of a session, and feel confident moving through the workout.
My role
• UX/UI design across mobile, tablet, and desktop
• Workout layout + hierarchy redesign
• Coaching guidance patterns (video + notes)
• Effort and intensity visualisation
• Desktop/tablet layout design
• Visual system refinement
This work aligned coaching intent, visual quality, and usability into a single, cohesive product experience.
The most satisfying part was balancing clarity under pressure with a premium feel — supportive without being distracting.
