Introduction

EvolvX, co-founded by Puneet Rao and Anil Singh, is on a mission to revolutionize fitness with its "Netflix for healthcare" vision. Their platform provides structured workout programs, expert guidance, and data-driven fitness tracking. But there was a missing piece - community-driven engagement.

Users needed more than just content. They needed motivation, peer support, and real-time interaction with fitness coaches. To solve this, EvolvX turned to Likeminds’ Social Feed, a plug-and-play solution that integrated in just 15 minutes and transformed user engagement overnight.

Challenge

For a fitness app, engagement isn’t just about delivering workouts. It’s about creating a space where users feel connected. EvolvX faced three key challenges:

• User Retention & Engagement: Without an interactive social layer, users lacked ongoing motivation, leading to frequent drop-offs.
• Coach-User Interaction: Users needed real-time guidance and feedback from expert coaches.
• Content & Knowledge Sharing: Users needed a centralized space to share their progress, experiences, and fitness-related content.

Building this from scratch would have taken months or even years. EvolvX needed something fast, scalable, and customizable. They started looking for third-party solutions that would help them accelerate this process.

Solution: LikeMinds' Social Feed

Instead of spending months developing an in-app social experience, EvolvX integrated Likeminds' Social Feed into their app, which took only 15 minutes. The feed allowed users to share updates and post-workout progress, engage with peers, and interact directly with health coaches.

Key Features of the Social Feed

• Topic-Based Discussions: Users can post updates, ask questions, and engage in structured fitness conversations.
• Media Sharing: Users and coaches can upload images, videos, and workout stats.
• Like & Comment: Encourages engagement and peer support.
• Expert Coach Interactions: Coaches can guide users by sharing tips, feedback, and motivation.
• Personalized Feeds: Users receive relevant updates based on their fitness journey.

"We wanted our users to feel guided, not lost. With the social feed, they could immediately connect with us, ask questions, and get answers in real-time - building trust and making the app feel truly responsive." - Puneet Rao, Founder & Fitness Coach - EvolvX

Results & Impact

Beyond just providing an SDK, Likeminds worked closely with EvolvX’s team to refine their engagement strategy. From recommending key features to fine-tuning the user experience, Likeminds helped optimize the social feed for maximum impact.

Post-integration, EvolvX experienced a massive shift in user engagement and retention:

• 12+ months of time-to-market saved: The Social Feed was up and running quickly, allowing EvolvX to focus on core business growth.
• Higher user retention: The interactive feed fostered a sense of community, keeping users motivated.
• Real-time engagement: Instant coach-user communication created a more personalized fitness journey.
• Content virality: Users actively shared workout transformations, boosting organic platform engagement.

"The community feed makes users feel heard. Instead of just reaching out for support, they freely share their experiences, which motivates others to join in. It’s been great for building connections with coaches and fellow users alike." - Anil Singh, Co-Founder - EvolvX

Industry-Wide Impact: Why Social Feed is a Game-Changer for Fitness Apps

The fitness industry is shifting towards community-driven engagement. Studies show that integrating social features in mobile health apps can lead to retention rates above 80%, demonstrating the power of peer interaction in sustaining long-term user engagement. LikeMinds' Social Feed unlocks:

• Continuous motivation through peer interactions.
• Knowledge sharing, making fitness more accessible.
• Stronger brand loyalty through an engaged user base.
• Strategic Value & Future Potential

"I’d definitely recommend this. Not many fitness apps have an in-app feed without needing an external link. The way Likeminds integrated it so quickly, gave inputs, and helped us plan things the right way was amazing. We already have future plans, and they’re always ready to support us. That’s what we love." - Puneet Rao, Founder & Fitness Coach - EvolvX

Conclusion

By integrating LikeMinds' Social Feed, EvolvX bridged the engagement gap in fitness apps. This partnership is not just an upgrade - it’s a revolutionary step in making fitness social, engaging, and sustainable.
