Introduction
Staying fit shouldn’t require juggling multiple apps, typing every meal, or remembering dozens of exercises. Most people give up on fitness tracking because it feels like work.
Using QwikBuild, we created a Smart Fitness Tracking App where users can simply talk their workouts out, click photos of meals, and let the app handle the rest — calories, nutrition, progress, and motivation.
This tutorial walks you through how the app was built and how you can build your own.
The Challenge: Before this app, users struggled with:
Logging meals manually (slow and boring)
Forgetting to track workouts consistently
No clear view of calories, nutrition, or progress
Confusion about what exercises to do in the gym
Losing motivation after a few days
The goal:
👉 Make fitness tracking feel effortless, not exhausting.
Step 1: Initial Prompt & Requirement Gathering
I want to build a Smart Fitness Tracking App where users can log workouts and meals easily. The app should track calories, nutrition, and progress, and make daily fitness tracking simple.
After confirming, QwikBuild generated the first working version instantly.
Step 2: Add More Features & Improve Usability - Update the App
Once the app was being used, we refined it with a few clear update requests.
🟡 Update Request 1 — Smarter Meal Logging
Request:
Users should be able to log meals using voice, text, or meal photos, and the app should estimate calories and nutrition using AI.
🛠 Result:
Meal logging via voice, text, and photo
Automatic calorie & nutrition breakdown
Editable preview before saving
🟡 Update Request 2 — Gym Mode & Routine Setup
Request:
Add a Gym Mode where users start a session, track everything by voice, and end with a full summary.
Before starting, allow users to set their routine (fitness level, workout frequency, preferred split).
🛠 Result:
Guided Gym Mode with timer
Voice-based exercise logging
Routine setup with smart workout split suggestions
🟡 Update Request 3 — Body Map & Exercise Library
Request:
Add a body map. When users tap a body part, show exercises with explanations and visuals, based on their fitness level.
🛠 Result:
Interactive body map
Exercise library with guidance & visuals
Stretching + cardio suggestions per body part
🧩 Common Issue & Fix
Problem observed:
Some users felt overwhelmed choosing exercises.
How it was fixed:
We added routine suggestions and body-part based exercise guidance so users always know what to do next.
