1. run git clone https://github.com/MartinDawson/Reggest.git on your command prompt
2. run cd Reggest/Reggest to move into the source directory of the solution
3. run yarn install to install the npm packages
4. run yarn run setup to setup the project
5. Create a '.env' file in this directory. I.e "Reggest/Reggest/.env". Copy and paste all of the variables from the .env variables section here into this file.
6. run yarn run start to start the project
7. Open http://localhost:49891

The problem

There are a lot of fitness plans in the world that overwhelm beginners

The solution

Implement a simplistic QandA functionality type app that suggests the best fitness plans to meet the users goals

Key aspects

• Must provide a fitness plan that meets the users needs
• Must be as simple as possible for the user
• The faster the user gets to their chosen fitness plan in as little questions as possible the better
• Must only provide fitness plans that are being used by many people and/or have proven results

Current Target Audience

• Beginners who are starting fitness in gyms, specifically users from r/fitness and r/xxfitness

Business Model

• Free app

Competitors

• http://www.rohitnair.net/pp/:
  • End results are a long wall of text for some chosen features
  • Doesn't list many results for chosen fitness programs
  • Unnecessary choices such as Police/Military Training which noone cares about
  • Not specific enough to users goals, e.g. days per week training
• https://www.bodbot.com/
  • Doesn't list specific fitness plans such as 'Strong Curves', 'Nsuns' etc but instead gives specific exercices
  • Not recommended by r/xxfitness or r/fitness to do this but instead to use pre-made tested plans
• http://www.strongur.io/
  • Same problems as bodbot
