Fitness App Screenshot Templates That Drive Downloads
Screenshot templates for fitness, workout, and health tracking apps — covering iOS App Store and Google Play. Each template is designed around how fitness users actually decide to install an app.
What most fitness apps get wrong
The mistake: Showing the exercise library or workout catalog as the first screenshot. Users don't care about breadth on first glance — they want proof the app will keep them coming back.
What actually works: Fitness app users make install decisions based on one question: "Will this make me consistent?" Your screenshots need to answer that — not just show a workout log. Streaks, progress charts, and social accountability features convert better than exercise libraries.
4 Template Styles That Work for Fitness Apps
Each style serves a different positioning goal. Pick the one that matches how your app acquires users.
Progress Dashboard
Best for: Tracking apps, strength training
Centers a progress chart or streak counter. Bold number typography. Dark background with one high-energy accent color. Works at small preview sizes.
Before/After Motivation
Best for: Weight loss, transformation apps
Split layout showing starting point vs current progress. Avoids body imagery (policy risk) — uses metric-based progress instead. Clean white layout.
Workout Card
Best for: HIIT, class-based apps
Single workout displayed as a bold card. Timer prominent, exercise name large. High contrast. Works well for paid fitness apps justifying premium.
Social Proof Grid
Best for: Community fitness apps
Shows user avatars, challenge participation count, or leaderboard. Communicates the app is alive and used. Gradient background.
What Your First Screenshot Must Show
The first screenshot is visible in App Store search results without tapping in. It does 70% of the conversion work.
Show a streak counter, progress chart, or achievement milestone. Anything that communicates "this app creates habits." A 47-day streak is more persuasive than a list of 500 exercises.
Recommended Screenshot Order for Fitness Apps
This ordering is based on the decision journey of a user evaluating a fitness app.
Color Strategy for Fitness Screenshots
Dark backgrounds with neon green or electric blue accents signal intensity and performance — common in strength training apps. Clean white with forest green signals wellness and recovery. Avoid muddy earth tones; they read as low-energy in thumbnail previews.
Conversion tip
Put a real number in your first screenshot caption — not "Track your workouts" but "47-day streak. 312 workouts logged." Specificity signals a real, active product.
Common Questions
How many screenshots should a fitness app have on the App Store?
Five to seven is the sweet spot. Cover: habit/streak proof, core workout UI, progress visualization, and at least one social or coaching feature. The sixth and seventh are optional but useful for highlighting premium features.
Should fitness app screenshots use dark or light themes?
It depends on positioning. Strength and HIIT apps convert better with dark, high-contrast templates — they look intense and purposeful. Yoga, mindfulness-fitness, and recovery apps perform better with clean light themes. Test both if you're unsure.
What caption style works best for fitness app screenshots?
Short, specific, benefit-first. "47-day streak" outperforms "Build consistent habits." "312 calories burned" outperforms "Track your workouts." Real numbers, even if they're example data, make the app feel concrete and active.
Can I use the same screenshots for App Store and Google Play?
The design can be reused but dimensions differ. App Store requires device-specific sizes (1320×2868 for iPhone 16 Pro Max). Google Play accepts a wider range but recommends 1080×1920. SnapMonk exports both sizes from one template.
