The Brief
Building a fitness app that makes hybrid training accessible, enjoyable, and empowering for women at every fitness level.
Revie Jane had spent over a decade making fitness fun, approachable, and effective. As an experienced fitness coach, she identified a critical gap in the market: hybrid training—combining running, functional conditioning, and resistance training—felt complicated, overwhelming, and intimidating for most women.
The vision was clear: create a space where women could move, sweat, and surprise themselves without the intimidation factor that plagued existing fitness platforms. Revia needed to be more than another cookie-cutter workout app. It required a sophisticated platform that could deliver structured programs alongside flexible on-demand content, meeting users wherever they were in their fitness journey while growing with them.
The challenge extended beyond technical execution. The app needed to balance comprehensive functionality—including video demonstrations, progress tracking, achievement systems, and content management—with an intuitive user experience that would appeal to beginners and intermediate athletes alike. With three distinct programs serving different fitness goals and equipment setups, the platform architecture required careful planning to ensure seamless content delivery and user engagement.
Our Solution
We architected a comprehensive fitness ecosystem using Flutter for cross-platform mobile delivery, ensuring Revie Jane's coaching reached both iOS and Android users with native performance. The development centred around three core programs—Hybrid Beginners, 5 Weeks to 5K, and Revia at Home—each with unique equipment requirements and training methodologies, complemented by 80+ on-demand workout sessions.
The platform's foundation leveraged our QuickLaunch framework, accelerating development whilst maintaining enterprise-grade quality. We implemented Auth0 for secure authentication supporting email/password and third-party sign-ins through Google and Apple accounts. The subscription model integrated seamlessly across Apple App Store, Google Play, and Stripe for web sign-ups, managing monthly and annual plans with proper renewal and cancellation handling.
Content delivery required sophisticated integration with Vimeo for optimised video hosting, ensuring smooth playback regardless of location or connection quality. Users can view detailed workout explanations, follow video demonstrations, record weights and reps, and track their progress through an engaging Trophy Wall achievement system that gamifies fitness milestones.
The React-based admin portal empowers Revie Jane's team to manage content effortlessly, uploading new programs and workouts with automatic synchronisation across all platforms. We implemented AWS infrastructure with performance optimisation, security configurations, and monitoring tools to ensure reliable operation under varying loads.
The 4-month development timeline delivered a polished product that launched successfully in November 2025, hitting #3 in Apple's Health & Fitness category within 48 hours—validating both the market need and the quality of execution.
