iOS Health & Fitness app

Project Overview

PaladinHealth was developed to support users on their fitness and wellbeing journey through personalized workout and nutrition plans, interactive communication, and smart reminders. The app goes beyond standard fitness tools by offering real-time interaction and deep engagement features such as chat, video calls, and 1:1 support.

The solution addresses a growing demand in the wellness market for holistic digital coaching — combining exercise routines, diet tracking, and personalized guidance from real coaches.

Business Challenge

In the crowded fitness app ecosystem, typical issues include:

• Lack of personalized plans that adapt to users’ goals and progress

• Fragmented communication between users and trainers

• Minimal support for nutrition tracking alongside exercise

• Poor engagement and low long-term retention

PaladinHealth was designed to solve these challenges by creating a comprehensive wellness ecosystem built around personalization, communication, and action-oriented tools.

We developed PaladinHealth to deliver a high-value fitness experience with the following core functionalities:

🏋️ Personalized Workout & Nutrition Plans

Users receive tailored workout routines and nutrition guidance based on their goals, preferences, and current fitness levels — helping them stay on track with structured progress plans.

💬 In-App Chat & Video Calls

Seamless communication between users and their coaches includes real-time messaging and video consultations, strengthening accountability and support.

🧠 1:1 Support & Smart Tools

• Form Checks — Coaches can provide feedback on exercise form.

• Macro Tracking — Users can log meals and track nutrition stats.

🔔 Push Notifications with Firebase Cloud Functions

We utilized Firebase Cloud Functions to handle dynamic push notifications — delivering reminders, messages, and alerts reliably and in real time.

💳 Stripe Integration

Secure and flexible payment processing via Stripe enables subscription management and in-app purchases for fitness programs and coaching services.
