Fit Me Up

Inspiration

With a new year comes new goals and new resolutions. We wanted to get in shape for 2017 while creating a fun project at a hackathon.

What it does

A personal fitness experience that integrates your workout with Amazon Echo to create custom at home workouts. Going to the gym? Can't find a friend to join you? Let us help you out. Spotter will find a partner that will match your fitness profile. Want to workout at home? Need a buddy to help? Flexa will be your personal fitness coach.

How we built it

With love. And even more tears.

Challenges we ran into

Everybody on our team took on a huge role to finish this project in 24 hours. We also worked with tools that we've never touched before. One person worked on the Amazon Alexa integration by himself, another worked on the entire website using semantic-ui and firebase for the backend. After scrolling for hours on various API documentation, we all feel that we became adept in our respective roles!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Jarred: Learning how to use Amazon Lambda and creating custom functions for Alexa! Also learning and using node.js simultaneously was pretty challenging for me to pull off in one night, but I'm glad I could do it. Eric: Managing to deploy a server quickly Sunny: Learning to work with firebase Bryan: Attempting with zero prior experience to learn ArcGIS and frameworks I haven't seen before.
