Challenge
Newborn Fit Mama (NBFM) is a successful health and fitness program for mothers, started by Kimberly Mutzers, who has been inspiring her followers for years on Instagram with the Newborn Fit Mama lifestyle and member programs.
Over the years, NBFM's IT landscape expanded with various (external) tools and platforms. Additionally, the user base grew significantly since the start. This made managing the platform and providing services quite complex and time-consuming.
It was time to consolidate all activities into one, dedicated Newborn Fit Mama app. Along with gaining full control over the development of exciting new features, a number of external tools could be eliminated. Administrative tasks and customer service have since been scaled down, and the number of members continues to grow steadily.
Concept
Newborn Fit Mama is the #1 fitness app for mothers. With a membership, you get access to the app and various programs that help you as a mother get and stay in shape. The app offers short, challenging workouts you can easily do at home, for example, when the children are at school or taking a nap. This way, you work on a fit and healthy body between your daily activities.
Besides the workout programs, the Newborn Fit Mama app also includes a progress tracker, healthy recipes, meal plans, and a vibrant community of mothers who support and motivate each other. NBFM is more than a fitness app; it's a community where mothers help, inspire, and motivate each other. The app is user-friendly and easily accessible. Gamification, challenges, and rewards keep users active and motivated. With personal coaching and tailored recommendations, every mother is helped to achieve her goals.
Result
Since its launch, NBFM has grown into an active and engaged community. The app daily stimulates countless interactions and has a significant impact on user motivation. Thanks to gamification and personal content, users remain involved and motivated. NBFM continues to innovate, with regular improvements and new features based on community feedback.
Collaboration and Creativity
NBFM was developed with and for the community. The app is continuously optimized based on feedback, offering a flexible and personal experience for mothers. Kimberly plays an active role by sharing livestreams, Q&As, and inspiring content, making NBFM more than just an app, but a personal coach and support group in one.
Our collaboration on Newborn Fit Mama has been honored with a wonderful recognition: we won a gold DIA award in the 'communities' category! The jury was full of praise and provided the following commentary:
"Newborn Fit Mama shows how to build a strong community around a clear need: working together on health during early motherhood. The combination of workouts, nutrition, gamification, and the personal approach of founder Kimberly – who, as a driving force, offers recognition and trust – ensures continued use and growth. The jury finds this a convincing winner, although the question arises of how to retain members as they grow out of the 'newborn' phase. A strong, well-thought-out community with room for next steps."
