Workout logging / tracking
Clear instructional demos for equipment
Personalized workout plans
Real-time gym occupancy updates
A sense of community and motivation through a gamified badge system and content specifically tailored to the Clemente Center resources.

Algorithms & Tools

Google OAuth API

Allows users to log into the app using their Google accounts. This simplifies the registration and login process and connects their accounts to their personal data securely. It eliminates the need for creating a separate username/password for the app.

BestTimeAPI

Provides live and historical data on the gym's busyness level, helping users decide the best times to visit the gym. This data is displayed on the app dashboard as part of the 'Popular Times' feature.

DynamoDB

Serves as the database for storing user data, workout plans, badges, and gym activity logs. It ensures fast and reliable access to this data, even as the number of users grows.

Amazon S3

Stores media assets and other files needed for the app.

Amazon Cognito

Manages user authentication and profiles. It works alongside Google OAuth to securely authenticate users and ensures their data is accessible only to them.

Novel Features

Gamification (Badge System)

Earn Panther-themed badges for achieving key fitness milestones, such as consistent gym attendance, specific running distances, and weight loss targets. Inspired by Apple Fitness, this system integrates a gamified approach to tracking progress, enhancing user engagement while fostering a sense of school spirit.

Clemente-Center Specific Instructional Content

The instructional videos and workout plans are not just generic but specifically tailored to the Clemente Center equipment and facilities. This ensures that users receive guidance directly applicable to the resources available at their gym, providing a more relevant and practical workout experience.

Technical Challenges

Implementing a system to efficiently assign unique identifiers to newly created user accounts.
Optimizing the storage of the workout logs by evaluating the efficiency of storing data in separate files versus strings.
Developing a scalable, real-time algorithm to evaluate and award badges based on user metrics.

Evaluation

Speed: Measure time, in seconds, for similar workouts to appear on the user interface after completing initial survey
User Surveys, rating on a scale from 1 to 5 (Goal: 4.0+ average rating each):

Relevance of workouts
User-friendliness
Appearance

Reliability: Monitor crashes and downtime. Goal: Uptime of 95%
Accuracy:

Progress Tracking - Consistency Tracking whereby the data logged by users would be crossed checked with the progress summaries.
Logging and Analytics - use of analytics to track usage patterns, errors and user corrections of data.
