Inspiration
Fit Buddy was inspired by the need to cut down on searching for the right gym that fits your fitness needs.
What it does
Fit Buddy connects Students to gyms and trainers, allowing them to look for specific gym names, trainers, membership prices and programs that target the specific area they need (cardio, strength, conditioning etc).
How we built it
We used MySQL to build three tables: Gyms, Trainers and Students. From there we built our website using HTML and CSS and connected our database to it using PHP.
Challenges we ran into
Our first biggest challenge was finding a way to move our server from localhost to the cloud. After several hours of trying, we decided to move on and continue to use localhost as our server. The second challenge we encountered is re-formatting our navigation on our website after introducing dropdown menus.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to setup a database and connect it to our website despite having very minimal knowledge about this.
What we learned
This project taught us a lot about deploying websites and setting up databases and how to connect those to our website. We also managed to brush up on our HTML and CSS.
What's next for Fit Buddies
We hope to include real gyms and trainers and properly deploy it to the web so it can be publicly accessible
