Covid-19 has locked us inside our houses with no access to sports and physical activity centers. Gyms all over the world in pre-covid era witnessed an enormous number of fitness freaks daily. Lockdown has restricted their amount of activity to be done without any trainer. We provide an all-rounder mobile and web app to motivate and train without stepping out of house.
Such an application gives an amazing opportunity to the other class of people who are regularly body-shamed and mentally harassed for their health. They can start working on themselves slowly and build a healthy lifestyle all without compromising their privacy.
A large advantage of Gyms over our app we saw was motivation - a regular gym-goer is motivated to start working on his abs when he sees another with 6-packs. On a closer look, this is how Instagram works, if we create a feed system to display how others are exercising will motivate the user without compromising its own body/health. Without motivation, working alone is tiring and non-engaging.
Communicating with team is an unexpected challenge, one of the team members had to suddenly move his house to a low connectivity area. After few days of no update on progress and communication, we could come up with a properly managed way of communication over text and it is all on track again.
