The problem Alpha Fit solves

The two major problems that it solves are :

1. Inaccurate calculation of RMR(Resting Metabolic Rate): The RMR measures the rate at which your body releases resting energy. The resting energy is the amount of energy that your body releases while doing its natural body processes. The net energy expended daily must be greater than the net energy consumed. In order to burn 1 kg (7700 kCal) of weight in 1 week one needs to be a deficit of 1100 kilocalories per day. To ensure one is in the right deficit accurate calculations of the RMR are very necessary and pretty fundamental. Our application ensures the right RMR rates belonging to individuals hence improving the overall effectiveness.

2. Women Plus: The woman's body works very differently as compared to a male body. The primer applications existing in the industry are more centric towards just hard digits and not the subtle changes that happen inside a woman's body throughout the menstrual cycle. A woman's menstrual cycle contains four phases: Follicular Phase, Luteal Phase, Ovulation Phase and Menstruation Phase the hormones (hence the energy levels) inside a woman's body differ throughout the month and so do the requirements. Considering all of the aforementioned factors Alpha Fit introduces a special feature exclusively for women that hugs the Woman's needs and goals in a unique scientific way. Alpha Fit's aim is to ensure women a safe and equal space in the fitness industry.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges we ran into while ideating the project were:

1. Societal inclusion became a little bit of a hurdle while ideating the project and it was solved by defining our target market and not wandering in the wild.
2. Identifying the USPs: Which features have to be left/included in the USPs list was quite of a debate, it was solved by jotting down the pros and cons of each feature's inclusion/deletion.
3. Women with hormonal disorders were a troublesome job to handle: This problem was solved by user-manually entering the previous period and their approximate period cycle to calculate the approximate results. This factor develops with use as the woman enters and records more and more of their cycle the better the calculations become.
