What is better than an personalized fitness application with all knowledge and necessities of how to live a better lifestyle only available to those who spend hundreds and thousands of dollars each year but entirely free? Our app called Adaptive Health & Fitness focuses on changing individuals lifestyle, aiming to inspire, motivate and transcend users to the best lives they can dream of. We wish to eradicate the competition of premium paid fitness app that is available at the cost of money. We aim to revolutionise the fitness industry to provide a totally free fitness application, available to everyone. We believe that a good healthy lifestyle application should not be only available to those who can afford it, but to those who are determined in living healthier, which isn't something that can be bought but to be work towards.

By creating a totally free all in one fitness application, we wish to guide the not so knowledged people of the fitness industry, helping them get started on working towards a healthier lifestyle eliminating obesity in the population, allowing user to have a better outlook on life. Further, by creating such an app, we will be able to combine every aspect in the journey of becoming fit which will make it much easier for the users to rely upon as they wouldn’t have to opt for different apps or websites for different steps involved in fitness.

Motivation

Our motivation for this project was that in our group, everyone has some sort of interest in being fit and healthy.There are a lot of fitness applications out there but that helps people to be fit but, will cost the user money. Whereas, our app it is free of cost and has everything that a user could look for in an app from personalised fitness plans, meal and workout suggestions, etc.

This project is an important one, as obesity is a severe problem consuming around 30% of the world’s population, and is expected to increase over the course of the next few decades due to lifestyle changes and convenient technologies, such as computers and TVs. This is also because many people are not conscious of their health and among those who are conscious, do not know what path to follow. According to a survey, 58% of smartphone users have downloaded a fitness app. And among these, about 52 percent of users said they downloaded health apps to track physical activity, while 47 percent wanted to track what they ate. Forty-six percent said they downloaded health apps to lose weight and 34 percent said they wanted to use health apps to learn exercises. For the future employer, it would show that even the app is free of cost the employer could also make money out of the app.

Landscape

All of the competitors mentioned have their own specific ways of training. For instance, Aaptiv has majored in aerobic exercises like treadmill and outdoor running that helps lower cholesterol and burn calories. However, the 30 Day Fitness Challenge is more about gym-like activities which benefit the muscles and the joints. The last competitor is Daily Yoga, which majored in yoga exercises.

We as a group has gathered information and re-implement those popular features to our project. Therefore, our application will provide yoga, aerobic, and gym exercises and training, so our users will benefit an extensive and diverse range of exercises that they don't need to switch apps if they want to experience other types of training. Additionally, our target user will be mostly the people who are unfortunately undergoing obesity. Consequently, our exercise will be more intense and well-motivated so the users can lose weight effectively and easily stick to our daily workouts. Last but not least, the main difference between our app and others is that our application will be free to use, which mean the users can freely access all of the features such as fitness training, personalized meal, and workouts rather than cost them which can be frustrated sometimes.
