App concept · unsolicited redesign 🌗 Switch theme

Club La Santa. The sport app, reimagined.

The current app is a static folder of information pages. This concept turns it into a personal training companion: it remembers what you try, suggests what you never dared, trains the goals you set — and sends a real plan home with you. All built on the 500+ weekly activities across 80+ facilities the resort already runs.

What makes the concept different

Six ideas that move the app from a “notice board” to something guests actually open every day — and that give Club La Santa data they have never had before. Tap a card to jump to the screen.

01 · MEASUREMENT

Stats on your trips

Every booking becomes history: what you have tried, how many times, and what you did each time. A category breakdown, streaks and a “not tried yet” list — per trip and across years.

02 · DISCOVERY

“Try something new” suggestions

Because I always pick what I know. The app sees that you have never tried yoga or climbing and suggests a specific class today — at a time that fits between your other bookings.

Open the screen →
03 · GOAL STEERING

Choose what your body needs

Say “legs”, “back & posture” or “cardio” — and the app filters the week’s 500+ activities down to the ones that hit the goal, and shows your balance so you don’t only do cardio.

04 · RETENTION

Take the training home

Today “home training” is just a pile of videos. Here it becomes a real weekly plan built from what you actually did at the resort — so your La Santa fitness doesn’t vanish at the airport.

Open the screen →
05 · THE CORE

A week programme that understands you

The same programme — but searchable, filterable by type and level, with live availability, “matches your goal” tags and booking straight from the list instead of a phone call.

Open the screen →
06 · FOR THE RESORT

Insight La Santa has never had

Aggregated and anonymous, the resort sees which activities are oversubscribed, which are empty, and what guests never discover — so they can move Green Team instructors to where demand actually is.

Under the hood: cleaning up the current app

A redesign is not only pixels. A few concrete technical things in the current app that should be reworked — the restaurant API call you noticed is a symptom of a pattern.

Inefficient

API calls for static data

Today restaurants, opening hours and facilities are fetched over the network every time a page opens — data that really changes a few times a year.

Fix: Put it in a bundled JSON/config that ships with the app update, with a single “last changed” check. Pages open offline and instantly — important when you’re standing in a concrete hall with no 4G.

Architecture

Everything is hardcoded pages

Each screen is a standalone information page. No shared data model for “an activity”, so bookings, programme and history can’t talk to each other.

Fix: One Activity model that the programme, booking, stats and home plan all read from. That’s what makes stats and suggestions possible at all.

UX

No offline / caching

Poor signal at the resort means blank pages and spinners. The week programme should always be available.

Fix: Cache-first with background sync. The programme for the whole stay is fetched at check-in and updated quietly.

Accessibility

Contrast & scaling

Light grey text on white, fixed font sizes, clip-art icons. Hard in bright sunlight and for older guests (a large part of the clientele).

Fix: WCAG-AA contrast, Dynamic Type support, a consistent icon system and a true dark theme — tested on a sun terrace, not just at the desk.
