Inspiration

My teammate and I both like to gym and it is a struggle to see whether a facility is open or not due to the official website being more complicated and layered than it needs to be. That is why we decided to make our website a simple and convenient way of checking the status of the facilities.

Challenges

Some challenges we faced included setting up Node and NVM in order to make our website in React. Another challenge was understanding how to set up the scheduling logic in order to display whether the gym was open or closed. In addition, we were unable to obtain pictures of the facilities over the Cruzhacks weekend so we had to use what we had in our camera rolls. All in all, we were able to overcome these roadblocks and accomplish something we were both proud of.
