When Booty N Buff — one of Australia’s leading supplement retailers — set out to unite the fitness community, they partnered with Elegant Media for fitness app development in order to create a powerful, cross-platform mobile experience that brings training, nutrition, supplement shopping and community together in one place.
The result is a beautiful mobile app that blends their passion for fitness with our cutting-edge technology, delivering real, meaningful value to users every single day.
Background
Founded in 2016, Booty N Buff (BnB) is on a mission to help people reach their fitness goals, whether that’s muscle gain or fat loss, amongst others.
They offer customers a range of science-backed supplements backed by expert advice on training, nutrition, and lifestyle, so they feel supported throughout their fitness journeys.
Community Challenges
Despite having a large community base for its brand across Australia, Booty N Buff required a digital destination that would act as an end-to-end solution to bring together the brand and its customers in one holistic platform.
Their goal was to extend their brand beyond e-commerce with a vision to build a mobile application that would combine expert training programmes, nutrition guidance, and seamless shopping.
The solution needed to evolve into a fitness community hub that people kept coming back for, not only just to buy supplements and more, but to train and learn as part of an extended fitness family.
An All-in-One Solution for Fitness App Development
The BnB Mobile App was ideated to deliver structured training programmes for different fitness goals, provide nutrition plans tied to BnB supplement range, enable smooth and easy in-app shopping, offer progress tracking and analytics, grow long-term customer loyalty, and support monetisation.
Following market research, competitor analysis and requirement gathering the required features were finalised and the development journey of the App began.
Our mission was to take the incredible community, high-quality products, and commitment to results that defines Booty N Buff and encapsulate it into a user-friendly app that helps customers achieve their fitness goals.
Fitness App Development Challenges & Solutions
1. Implementing dynamic Training Programmes based on individual user goals [Features & Functions]
Challenge: The BnB App needed to offer personalised training plans tailored to individual user goals, including fat loss, muscle building, performance enhancement and more.
Solution: The Elegant Media development team integrated dynamic user journeys that adapted based on fitness goal inputs. Each training track delivered a card-based workout library, video demonstrations, tailor-made meal plans with optional supplement recommendations, and nutritional coaching.
2. Building a seamless User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) [Usability & Navigation]
Challenge: The BnB App user experience had to be simple, effective and memorable.
Solution: The UI/UX team delivered a mobile-first design that prioritised simplicity and user goals. Clean layouts, intuitive navigation, and distraction-free interfaces ensured the BnB App was both visually appealing and effortless to use, regardless of fitness level or objective.
3. Cross-Platform Compatibility [The BnB App should work on all devices]
Challenge: Given the growing popularity of fitness supplements across Australia and users’ reliance on mobile devices for workout guidance, the BnB App required flawless cross-platform performance.
Solution: Elegant Media built the BnB App with Flutter, enabling native performance on both iOS and Android. Rigorous cross-device testing ensured an optimal user experience, with continuous integration and consistent responsiveness across both platforms.
4. Seamless Shopping [Features & Functions]
Challenge: The BnB App required integrated e-commerce functionality allowing users to browse and purchase BnB and third-party supplement products seamlessly.

Booty N Buff recognised a critical opportunity: to transition from being solely a product provider to becoming a holistic fitness and health partner for their customers.
5. Progress Tracking [Features & Functions]

Challenge: Given users’ busy lifestyles, the BnB App featured smart push notifications and reminders that kept them accountable to their fitness routines and on track toward their goals.
Solution: The App implemented push notifications and reminders using device tokens activated after user authorisation, ensuring users received timely, personalised reminders throughout their fitness journey.
7. In-App Monetisation [Features & Functions]
Challenge: The BnB App’s business model required monetisation of premium features to drive revenue while fostering brand loyalty and user retention.
Solution: The Elegant Media development team created a streamlined subscription flow for premium access, integrating a third-party payment gateway via an API (Application Programming Interface) for seamless checkout and onboarding.
Results
The Booty n Buff Mobile App has successfully managed to underline the brand’s retention and engagement strategy by becoming a one-stop digital platform that keeps customers coming back — not just to buy, but to train, learn and grow.
BnB Mobile App users can now provide their desired fitness goal and then have access to customised training programmes that guides the user on fitness, nutrition and lifestyle steps to help them reach their goals.
In addition to dynamic meal plans that adapt based on their goals, Bnb App users can also access expert training programmes with integrated video, photo, and text-based workout routines. Users can keep track of their progress with workout logs, weight tracking, and simple analytics to show their growth over time. Furthermore a curated in-app storefront makes it straightforward for App users to add products to their cart and checkout directly within the App as well.
Fitness Community Hub
Acting as a central hub for the BnB fitness community in terms of gathering Australian fitness and nutrition enthusiasts into one place, the BnB Mobile App also provides extremely useful insights into the health and fitness demographic in terms of what they really use and want. This in turn helps BnB to make informed decisions about their products and content.
Since its launch, the Booty n Buff App has provided the opportunity for BnB to increase their conversion rates via a frictionless purchase experience at the same time as driving customer engagement, loyalty and retention by offering personalised content and product recommendations.
This digital solution also positioned Booty N Buff as a holistic health authority, rather than just a supplement retailer and opened up new revenue streams through continuous customer engagement and a subscription model for premium access.
The BnB App helps users train better, eat smarter, and stay consistent and impacts thousands of fitness journeys while helping the brand grow stronger every day.
