Written by Admin | Oct 20, 2026, 12:38:46 PM

A leading U.S.-based fitness company strengthened its member experience by expanding from a club-based model to a combined digital and in-person platform. Coherent Solutions partnered with the client’s internal teams to rebuild the existing mobile app, replace its outdated cross-platform framework, and add support for new digital memberships.

Together, the teams modernized the architecture, improved reliability, and created a single system to connect club and at-home users through one seamless experience.

At a glance

Industry: Fitness & wellness

Challenge: Outdated mobile framework, inconsistent platform reliability, and a rising need for remote access.

Solution: Migration from Xamarin to native iOS and Android, dynamic UI generation, and digital membership integration.

Outcome: Improved stability, simplified maintenance, and consistent member experience across access levels.

Coherent’s role: Mobile engineering partner supporting iOS and Android delivery, architecture modernization, and feature development with the client’s internal teams.

Client overview

The client operates a network of around 200 fitness centers and wellness services across the U.S. and Canada. Historically, the client’s mobile app connected members to a variety of workouts, classes, and other programs. However, during the pandemic, when in-person visits declined, the company expanded its digital offerings and introduced a new membership that gave users access to home workouts, livestreamed classes, and additional on-demand content.

This is the kind of work that showed us where the industry was headed, and why we built AKTIV, a specialized practice within Coherent Solutions focused solely on the fitness industry.
