Inspiration
Me and my friends workout and keep healthy diets, this has led us to feel more connected to our community and allowed us to learn new things about health and fitnes.
What it does
Our project gives people a way to find exercises they might want to do and information about foods they migth want to use in their diets depending on their fitnes goals. It also allows them to make a personalized fitnes plan based on a few simple inputs. There is also a fitnes ai chatbot (Which should work, but no money for openAI).
How we built it
We built the project using Django to take advantage of Python for backend logic and HTML for the frontend. We began by planning our views and features on a whiteboard, including the fitness plan generator and search tools.
Work was divided across the team:
- one focused on templates and UI
- one worked on the dashboard and logic
- one researched and compiled exercise data
We used Bootstrap to improve layout and styling.
Challenges we ran into
While we are semi avid gym goers it did take a while to come up with all of the execerses we could add. Furthermore making the search fucntions were more simple than we first thought and making the personalized fitnes plan the main atraction of the site was a lot harder than expected, we thought it'd be a little simpler and leave more time to add more details.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am most proud of the search function we added a lot of information, a lot of execerses and different ingredients to try out in diets. Also of the personalized fitnes plan while it is not everything we envisioned we do believe it will help people find a place to start in their fitnes goals.
What we learned
We mostly learned not to overestimate things that seem simple. We did overall gain a lot of knowledge when it comes to working in django, structuring backend logic, and managing a development environment.
What's next for Fitnice
An addition of an AI to help people answer questions about nutrition and fitness. Possibly coming up with a personalized fitnes plan using AI to help make the plan. And more media.
