Gym Booking App: Solving Gym Overcrowding
Gym Booking App 🏋️♂️
A Scheduling and COVID Contact Tracking System for My School
During my time at UWC ISAK Japan, the weightlifting room in the gym became overcrowded, making it difficult for students to use it efficiently—especially during COVID-19 restrictions. To address this, I collaborated with the Physical Education (PE) department and developed a Gym Booking Application that provided structured scheduling, occupancy tracking, and COVID contact tracing.
The system was built using Flask, SQL, and Python, specifically chosen because my school’s internal system (ISAK Matrix) also used these technologies, ensuring smooth integration.
