The problem FitGenie solves

• We all know that in the past few years, COVID taught us the importance of maintaining good health by exercising and following proper diet. But only knowing about it is not going to help us, we need to do something to make this fitness available to everyone while making it fun, engaging and motivating.
• Now, we all have at some point started going to gym or doing (not so regular) exercise but we could never continue due to various factors like busy schedule, high cost of personal trainers.
• Some people (especially females) even leave gyms because they feel uncomfortable doing exercise with other gender or people in general.
• Cheat meals failed all our attempts in following diet plans. Also, there is a large segment of our society which is literally neglected while discussing these issues. We are talking about the homemakers of our families, those who are somewhat bound to the responsibilities of the house and the people and thus often forget to take care of themselves.
• After considering all these problems, we brought to you the ultimate solution, FitGenie - Your Personal Trainer in Your Pocket!
• This is a web application using which our users can get their personalized nutrition plans that suits their body type and metabolic age.
• They will also be able to keep the track of their exercises(like counting the number of push-ups and detecting the cardio workout), calorie count and calorie burnt which will be calculated using tools like OpenCV and Media Pipe.

Challenges we ran into

• The first issue we faced was of the dataset needed to train the model because for the model to be precise we need real-time data with our desired attributes. To overcome this issue, we decided we can contact some gym owners to collaborate with us and from there the desired data can be collected.

• As we proceed further, we will have to decide the appropriate algorithm for it which gives us the most accurate result. For this, we will have to study various algorithms and their accuracies when applied on our project.

• As far as implementation is concerned, we realised that making a website is not going to solve the problem. Since our aim is to make fitness available to everybody, we need something that could motivate them to want to continue their diet and exercise plans. For this, we decided we will add some features like streak system, coin collection system, prize & swags and develop community dashboards where they can connect with their friends and compare their growths.
