tinder for workouts

-enter workout preferences

  • match with others who share similar preferences
  • geared towards female athletes who need more intensive workouts and some can't workout with their team bc of covid restrictions
  • meant for female-identifying GT students

specifications and customization

  • type of workout preferred
  • pace + intensity (also sprint vs. distance)
  • time spent working out (looking for an hour run vs. a 20 minute run or longer vs shorter workouts with videos or in gym)
  • year + major
  • music
  • long term (every other day) or just a few times
  • will you be wearing a mask? (are you open, do you prefer?)
  • (for runners and walkers) usual trails
  • additional info option

not all the fields are required

  • users then receive "matches" – like tinder! – and can choose to "swipe left or right" based on whether they want to
  • authenticate through gt email to avoid creepy stalkers
  • (optional) users can directly message each other on the app once matched to protect privacy

logistics

  • use thunkable
  • write pseudocode tues
  • code and design wed and thurs
  • video on fri (create script! do over zoom?)

potentional questions judges could ask

  • couldn't they just workout with one person on their team? answer: not all female athletes train with teams
  • why can't they workout with their friends? answer: their friends may not match their pace/intensity, athlete would not have a workout session that matches their needs
  • what about covid? is it safe to encourage people to work out together?
  • privacy concerns? (seem well addressed through customizations and workarounds like not sharing identity)
