Wellness Quest

Inspiration

We wanted to create a fitness app that actually helps users commit to a challenge in a fun way. We realized how hard it is to stay consistent with wellness habits, and we wanted an app that makes wellness feel simple, doable, yet also fun!

What it does

Wellness Quest is a gamified wellness app built around the famous "75-hard challenge." It helps a user to:

Log meals, workouts, and daily habits
Receive personalized meal plans and workout suggestions
Track XP and level up by completing the requirements every day!
Follow a simple onboarding process that learns their goals, restrictions, and schedule

How we built it

Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS Backend: Python FastAPI with Gemini API for AI-generated meal plans. Database: JSON Version Control: Git/GitHub

Challenges we ran into

Debugging inconsistent Gemini responses and handling cases where the AI returned incomplete content and/or safety warnings
Managing virtual environments on different machines and OS setups
Integrating frontend and backend expectations for input formats, and occasional miscommunication about features

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Fully functional AI-generated meal plan system for multiple different diet types
A clean, gamey, and easy to use design
Turning wellness into something fun and attainable for everyone
Building all of this and having it work properly within 12 hours

What we learned

How to manage a full-stack workflow amongst four people under a strict time constraint
The importance of clear API contracts early on between frontend and backend
Finding the balance between an ambitious project and a realistic scope
