Major Revamp of the ZEN PLACE Official App

On May 19, 2025, ZEN PLACE, a leading company in well-being, will unveil a fully redesigned version of its official app. This Tokyo-based company is recognized for integrating cutting-edge research and digital transformation in the wellness service industry, specifically in Pilates and yoga, with over 150 studios nationwide.

Enhanced User Experience

The upcoming update aims not only to improve usability for booking, recording, and verifying lessons but also to introduce innovative features that support habit continuity and awareness. With a focus on intuitive usability, the app will include mechanisms to visualize changes in users' progress and increase the value of their lesson experience.

Key Updates

1. Redesigned Home Screen: The app will feature a brand new home screen that allows users to quickly check future and past lesson history through a calendar view. Several motivational elements, such as a “Stamp Card View” displaying attendance up to 30 sessions, and “Heart Log Weekly” that showcases one’s weekly progress, will be implemented to encourage consistent practice.

2. Streamlined Logs and Feedback: The app will facilitate natural recording of feelings and survey responses before and after lessons with timely prompts. There will also be video announcements on the home screen to enhance learning and motivation for continuity.

3. Improved Booking Interface: Users will find easier access to special lessons and workshops directly from the booking screen, allowing for seamless navigation to interested events.

4. Evolution of the Heart Log: The emotional tracking has now advanced to capture sensory records that account for one’s current state of being, including comfort levels and alertness, supplemented with explanatory labels. This evolution aids users in recognizing their inner changes before and after lessons.

5. New Reflection Tab: A new feature titled the “Reflection Tab” will link heart logs with lesson activity reports, alongside automatically sourced health data from smart devices (e.g., steps, sleep duration, heart rate variability). This integration will provide insights into how lessons affect mental and physical well-being.

6. Organized Member Information: The app’s “My Page” will be reorganized for easy access to member information, tickets, analytical reports, and AI-generated data, ensuring that users can effortlessly locate the information they need.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

ZEN PLACE aims to transform the concept of attending a lesson from merely a one-time event to an ongoing experience of self-awareness and growth. The redesigned app integrates elements that make users want to continue their practices while fostering self-discovery through reflection.

Feedback from an open test conducted with select members laid the groundwork for these updates, offering insights into usability and design enhancements. Continuous improvements will ensure a more engaging app experience that promotes awareness of personal health and well-being.

Future Prospects

The recently added “Reflection Tab” is set to roll out a “Monthly Report” feature by mid-May 2025, allowing users to visualize their progress on a monthly basis, deepening their understanding of their emotional and physical states.
