Master's Capstone Project

I am super excited to share my Purdue Master's Capstone Project with everyone! It was a fun and challenging journey, but it was all worth it! When I started working out (years ago), I realized that gym equipment is outdated. Like am I the only one that miscounts a rep because a really good song came on my Beats? There has to be a way to count my reps and sets automatically! And there has to be a way where I don't need to carry a notebook or my phone to log in weights/sets/reps constantly.

When working out, I genuinely believe in being in the moment. For one, if you are not in the moment when working out with heavyweights, you can injure yourself. Being in the moment not only means concentration, but it also means being present and engaging yourself with the workout.

The goal of my Capstone is to introduce the "Future of the Gym" experience. It is more than just moving away from the traditional gym setting, but it is a way to experience an immersive workout. This project will use aspects of qualitative methods, interactive experiences, and service blueprint to create a holistic experience for an enjoyable and immersive workout.
