I started working on Gym Buddy after observing how many people around me, including myself, struggled to stay consistent with their fitness goals. Lack of motivation, accountability, and isolation—especially in a new environment like moving to a different city or country—often led to giving up on workouts. I wanted to design a solution that could turn solo fitness into a shared journey, keeping users motivated through companionship, personalized plans, and progress tracking. The idea was to create a tool that not only supports physical well-being but also builds community and emotional support through shared fitness goals.
