About the Project

Workout Hero was made as a team assignment for a Software Engineering class with 5 other teammates. I was mainly in charge of User Interface design and implementation, as well as routing scenes and writing all the pre-production planning documents.

Features

  • Hundreds of different exercises with animated illustrations;
  • Per-user exercise routine creation saved on the cloud;
  • Server-side statistics tracker for reps, spent calories and other stats;
  • Attractive and smooth user interface.

Development Tools

The app was made using a React Native frontend and built with Expo, and the backend uses PostgreSQL. We tested builds on our Android phones and in the Android Studio SDK.
