Apple Fitness Addition

The Problem

Apple Fitness has been available since September 2014 and has undergone significant improvements and updates since its release, yet it still lacks some key functionalities when compared to its competitors. Numerous competitors in both hardware and software aim to provide solutions for Apple's shortcomings in its native app. Many of these competitors use the data collected through Apple Watch, iPhone, or the native HealthKit data to improve their offerings.

Some of the missing features include:

• Retroactively log workouts

• The ability to record specific exercises, reps, sets, weights, etc.

• Statistics and trends of progress

• Personal Records/Bests

• Notes and ratings

The Solution

Additional feature set that expands upon Apple’s Fitness app adding functionality that helps ensure the native app can compete with 3rd party competitors offering similar functionality. Added functionality:

• Retroactively add a workout (not tracked using Apple Watch)

• Personal Bests (Records of when and where common and customizable achievements were set)

• Alternate View of Workouts (Graph view w/ Customization by date range and workout type)

• Exercise Database (track and review history, progression, records, etc.)
