3 We, at Innovatech Group, have designed xtrack, an easy-to-use workout application that tracks the fitness progress of the user, asking the user to input information before and after each workout session. xtrack will allow the user to easily setup their profile and select a routine that works for them. Our users will then be able enter the weight and repetitions for their workouts after each workout. By using this feature the users of xtrack will be able to efficiently and easily track their progress towards their desired goals. The target audience for xtrack is anyone who enjoys working out. More specifically, it is directed toward college students who would like to work out but, due to their busy schedule, are unable to get in the gym. This results in many students never reaching their fitness goals. We are confident that xtrack will help users get to the gym more frequently and also will allow them to increase their overall progress with each workout. College students are often hard-pressed for time with classes, work, and studying. This makes it difficult to create an effective routine and keep track of their progress during workouts. However, many college students still try to work out on a daily basis. Many do follow some kind of workout routine but are forced to use either time-consuming or inefficient methods of tracking their progress, or they cannot or do not track their progress at all. With xtrack, we strive to solve this issue by giving our users an easy-to-use app that significantly decreases time spent attempting to track progress. We plan to accomplish this by allowing users to browse, select, and create routines, as well as input information to track their progress. Through these methods, xtrack will help users reach their fitness goals and objectives. Additionally, users will be able to sync their progress logs from each workout to their computer at home, allowing them to share and use their stats as they see fit. Some examples of the information that xtrack stores are the repetitions and sets of weight-lifting, time spent running or performing exercises, burned calories during exercises, and body weight before and after each workout. By creating a profile and inputting this and other information, the user would have an easily accessible log of their data from past workouts, saving them time before the next workout. xtrack also has the ability to export a user s workout progress to a computer, which will only increase the simplicity of tracking one s progress. The user will have access to a database of exercises, which we believe will help broaden their range of exercises and further increase their workout progress. xtrack will save the user time by allowing the user to look at their workout schedule ahead of time, giving them time to plan ahead to make sure they have the necessary time to get that day s work out in. Another benefit of this application is that it generates new routines for users, reducing the users possibility of hitting a plateau and halting their progress. With xtrack we, at Innovatech Group, hope to give people a system that will allow them to work out the way they want, in the time they want, while still striving to reach their desired goals. With xtrack we believe that our users will be well satisfied and after a few weeks will begin to see progress in their workouts. 3

4 4 Our target audience for xtrack is anyone who enjoys working out. More specifically, it is directed toward college students who would like to work out, but due to their demanding schedules they are unable to get in the gym. Or, sometimes they are able to make it to the gym but have difficulty tracking their progress in an effective and time-efficient manner. We are confident that xtrack will help our target audience resolve these issues while also being superior to any competitor s application by providing a wider variety of functions and at the same time being easier to use. The users of xtrack would presumably be full-time college students who are eager to get into the gym. This application doesn t require the user to have worked out before or have any prior knowledge on how to use a work out tracking application. Our application is easy to use and understand immediately, no matter the user s age. We estimate the number of users to be in the hundreds initially and grow over time. This includes all students and any other users that seek to either start or improve their workout routines. The systems we will be using are Android and ios. The functions that these systems will support are synchronization, GPS location, push notifications, and touch capabilities. We expect the users of xtrack to anticipate timely updates for any major issues and updates with new workout routines. To meet these expectations, we will provide routine software checks and update the application if an issue is found. Constant review of current routines will also be performed and user approval of these routines will be measured. Our system design wouldn t be affected by this because the updates would occur on the software side. Currently many people that work out don t keep track of their progress, simply trying to track their progress by memory alone or by using a notepad. Using these options, they will make minimal or no progress toward their fitness goals at all, because they have no idea what their fitness abilities were when they started a particular exercise routine. The main reason this occurs is because many people find it too time consuming to manually write out everything they do at the gym on a notepad. Today s competing products are similar workout applications, like Nike Training Club or JEFIT, except our application will exceed our competition s apps by providing synchronization to the user s computer and a workout routine generator.

7 7 Research into product interest, feature addition, and implementation was conducted through the surveying of potential customers. Participants were surveyed either in person or through SurveyMonkey.com, and were asked to answer the questionnaire below. This questionnaire was designed with a focus on our (the developers ) learning what features users found to be important in a fitness application, which features they found to be missing from other fitness applications they may have used, and how much users would pay for such an application. Results were confirmative of our expectations for the xtrack application. 1. Do you currently find it difficult to keep track of your fitness progress? 2. Do you already use an application that helps you track your fitness progress? 3. Does the app that you already use lack any features that you would want to see in a future application? 4. Would you be interested in an application that allows you to input information and automatically tracks your fitness progress for you? 5. Which information would you consider important to tracking your fitness progress, per exercise? Please rate each of the following on a scale of 1-9, 9 being most important. a. Body weight before exercise b. Body weight after exercise c. Type of exercise (i.e. cardio/muscular) d. Amount of weight lifted per exercise e. Time spent performing each exercise f. Sets performed during each exercise g. Repetitions performed per set during each exercise 6. Would you be interested in an application that could automatically generate random exercise schedules for you? 7. Would you be willing to pay for an application that would keep track of your fitness progress? If so, how much? 8. Would you be more interested in purchasing the application after using it during a free trial period?

8 8 Results were combined from 14 online and 4 in-person questionnaires. The following results are from the responses of the survey participants. 1.
