UX Designer
Freeletics
STÆDIUM is the latest brainchild of Europe’s #1 fitness app. Yes, that would be us: Freeletics. 8 years ago, we shook up the dusty fitness industry with an idea that changed everything. 53 million users later, we’re still pushing to beat our own personal bests. Maybe it’s the endorphins, but we just can’t help it - it’s in our blood. During all this time we’ve spent coaching people to become the greatest versions of themselves, it’s not just our AI that got smarter. We learned a lot too. For example, that “love” is rarely the first word that comes to mind when people think of exercising. They know it’s good for their body, their emotional and mental health, and that it helps to age well, too. The benefits are always welcome. As for working out… well. They do it because there’s no other way. Period.
