Short answer

Across 24 Health & Fitness quiz apps, the onboarding quiz averages 6.2 question screens with a median of 4.5 and a max of 21 — the longest-quiz vertical in the corpus.source[1] If you build a fitness or wellness app, plan for a substantially deeper quiz than most categories. Around 4 to 6 questions is the norm here, not an outlier.

The quotable stat
24 Health & Fitness quiz apps average 6.2 question screens (median 4.5, max 21) — Lazyweb Research, July 2026.

The finding

Health & Fitness is the deepest-quiz vertical. Across 24 H&F quiz apps, question screens average 6.2, median 4.5, max 21.source[1] That is roughly triple the Education vertical's average of 2.2 on the same measure.source[2]

Health & Fitness246.24.521source[1]
Education122.225source[2]

H&F is also the single largest quiz category by app count.source[3]

How to apply it

A deep quiz works in fitness because the answers drive a concrete personalized plan — goals, current habits, and demographics all feed a workout or nutrition program. Named depth players include betterme (habit questionnaire on daily energy levels) and lose-it (12 captured question screens).source[4]source[1]

If you are in H&F, benchmark to ~4-6 questions before worrying about being too long. If you are shorter than that, you may be under-personalizing relative to the category.

Caveats

H&F clears the N>=8 reporting threshold with 24 apps, so per-category averages are publishable.source[1] Counts are captured question screens from vision descriptions (~94% coverage), so the true quiz a user sees may be slightly longer.source[1] The max of 21 is one app; use the average and median to plan.

Methodology

Universe: 24 Health & Fitness quiz apps (>=8 threshold) in the Lazyweb vision corpus. Method: per-app captured quiz-question screens via vision_description regex, joined to companies.category, July 2026. Caveat: captured screens are a floor on true quiz length.
