Gym Leaderboard System

For my final project, I want to work on creating a leaderboard for people to compete against each other in the gym. This can be achieved by tracking the heart rate, with the potential to integrate the muscle sensor. The muscle sensor would be more so be useful for those choosing to weight lift since that will not necessarily raise a person’s heart rate as much as cardio does. This will help even out the “advantage” one might seem to have by doing cardio instead of weight lifting or yoga or other workouts that don’t necessarily raise your heart rate. Another feature I would like to see worked in with the sensor(s), would to be GPS tracking, use an NGS, or some sort of location tracking system to be able to determine when someone is using a certain machine or at least know when a person leaves the gym so they do not necessarily gain more “points” outside of the gym. In terms of the format of the leaderboard, I will start with one that is locally based to my computer. Once that it completed, I will move it to web based, and, if there is enough time, look to make an app. The app could potentially have the option to store a specific user’s data and be able determine trends and other fitness statistics.
