SidePilot — AI-powered front office platform for gyms and wellness studios

Sidepilot is an AI-powered front office platform built for gyms & wellness studios. As an early collaborator I designed the product portal, brand and logo from the ground up.

MindBody has dominated wellness for 20 years. How do you build something smarter? A platform that doesn’t just manage a business but actively grows it.

Pain Points

The Approach

How might we give wellness studios the intelligence to grow their business without adding to their workload?

Understand the studio owner

Define their revenue gaps

Design for automation

Build intelligent touchpoints

Deliver growth

Looking Deeper

After the project wrapped, I mapped this three layer flow: the human journey, the AI agent, and the third party systems it coordinates with. The smoothie scenario shows how SidePilot detects a trigger and acts before the user even asks.

Key Decisions

Designing the Cockpit

Studio owners pilot their AI.
No code required.

Energetic by Design

Gradient CTAs for warmth & excitement to otherwise clinical dashboard.

Color Strategy

I pushed for purple. Green signals “positive” in UX, which can cause confusion w/ CTAs.

Final Solution

Portal designed to feel fresh & approachable, not clinical. Green gradient CTAs were a deliberate choice for wellness studio owners, not enterprise software users.

Impact

A one month sprint from zero to platform. Here are some key outcomes.

General Catalyst

Sidepilot’s vision attracted backing from one of the world’s top venture firms

Early Adoption

Trusted by national fitness brands including Anytime Fitness & F45 Training

First Mover

First product to offer agentic AI for wellness studios

Reflection

Designing for agentic AI meant designing for something invisible. The real challenge wasn’t the interface, it was mapping the intelligence behind it.
