About Fit Yonder

Fit Yonder is an application providing a platform for students and health and fitness professionals that allows them to post ideas for flexible and personalized fitness routines, things such as yoga etc. that can be done in one’s dorm room, or somewhere on campus. When you come to the site, you are greeted by the following landing page:

It can be difficult to fit a consistent fitness routine into an already packed college student schedule. Many people are intimidated by the idea of going to the gym to work-out. Also, the hours of the gym on campus sometimes don’t work out for a variety of schedules.

Students are able to post their fitness goals and/or other constraints which can then be matched against the fitness routines available in on Fit Yonder. Fit Yonder can also enable students to log their time, frequency of workouts, and other measures of progress. Fit Yonder’s workout page lists which routines are popular based provide user-generated reviews and completions.

Development History

The development process for Fit Yonder conformed to Issue Driven Project Management practices. In a nutshell, development consists of a sequence of Milestones. Milestones consist of issues corresponding to 2-3 day tasks. GitHub projects are used to manage the processing of tasks during a milestone.

The following sections document the development history of Fit Yonder.

Milestone 1: Mockup development

This milestone started on December 6, 2016 and ended on January 31, 2017.

The goal of Milestone 1 was to create a set of HTML pages providing a mockup of the pages in the system. To simplify things, the mockup was developed as a Meteor app. This meant that each page was a template and that FlowRouter was used to implement routing to the pages.

Mockups for the following four pages were implemented during M1:

Milestone 1 was implemented as Fit Yonder GitHub Milestone M1::

Milestone 1 consisted of five issues, and progress was managed via the Fit Yonder GitHub Project M1:

Each issue was implemented in its own branch, and merged into master when completed:

Milestone 2: Data model development

This milestone started on Jan 31, 2017 and ended on Feb 2, 2017.

The goal of Milestone 2 was to implement the data model: the underlying set of Mongo Collections and the operations upon them that would support the application. We implemented the data model as a set of Javascript classes. The BaseCollection class provides common fields and operations. The ProfileCollection and InterestCollection classes inherit from BaseCollection and provide the persistent data structures useful for BowFolios.

Also in this milestone, we implemented a set of mocha tests for the data model classes. These tests make sure we can create, manipulate, and delete the data model documents successfully. These tests are documented above.

Milestone 2 was implemented as Fit Yonder GitHub Milestone M2::

Milestone 2 consisted of 17 issues, and progress was managed via the Fit Yonder GitHub Project M2:

Each issue was implemented in its own branch, and merged into master when completed:

Milestone 3: Connect UI to data model

This milestone started on April 24, 2018 and ended on May 4, 2018.

The goal of Milestone 3 was to connect finish up the website and deployment. We tied together the the Meteor account system with our profile database. This allowed us to store individual’s data and display them on a per account basis. To complete the profile page we also added a way for users to update and change their profile data. We also updated our feed to seperate events from workouts.

Milestone 3 was implemented as Fit Yonder GitHub Milestone M3::

Milestone 3 consisted of 20 issues, and progress was managed via the Fit Yonder GitHub Project M3:

Each issue was implemented in its own branch, and merged into master when completed:

Community Feedback

Creighton Gorai

“Fit Yonder is a great helper for random convenient workouts anywhere with a nice user friendly looking website.”

Tyler Chong

“Computer Science majors work out?”

Christine Le

“As someone who doesn’t do traditional work outs or maintain a workout schedule, I could see myself using this webapp. I like the idea of users creating their own workouts. It encourages non-traditional forms of workout like yoga or cycling, which you wouldn’t find in a traditional gym.”

Chris Smith

“I have been a swimmer since I can remember, meaning the only way I know how to workout is in the water. An application like Fit-Yonder helps me figure out land workouts that I would otherwise not explore.”

Jason Jin

“The website looks inviting, I like the colors and the Facebook-feel to it. I would appreciate if it could be more personalized to track other things, such as weight loss journey, muscle gain process, etc.”
