This App is designed to not only track current
and former athletes success and credentials.
But to also provide people of all
ages(athletes) seeking practice, training, or
advice with knowledgeable experience from
experienced athletes.
Focus: The focus of this specific application
is to open up the internet to people who may
be seeking help/advice/training from
experienced veterans in specific sports and
physical exercises. This app is also used to
log and keep track of an individuals personal
sporting and fitness achievements and
records. Those who are looking to “seek
help” on the app can then view their
credentials in order to chose whom they will
want to connect with.
Main Goal: To enhance those “seeking help”
with the app to a higher level in their
requested sport/physical fitness, and to
provide those “offering help” opportunities
to connect with people in need of assistance
and share/train clients by using quality
veteran experience.

• “The obesity epidemic is one of the country's most serious health
problems. Adult obesity rates have doubled since 1980, from 15 to 30
percent, while childhood obesity rates have more than tripled. Rising
obesity rates have significant health consequences, contributing to
increased rates of more than 30 serious diseases. These conditions
create a major strain on the health care system. More than one-
quarter of health care costs are now related to obesity.”

bicycling, active play, work-related activity, active recreation such as

Played basketball my whole life, also very in to weight lifting.
Soon to be a personal trainer, my goal/reason to make this app was to be able to train/give advice based on your
credentials not certification.

Main Icon Home Page of App

7. How It Works
• Once you have downloaded the free app
you will be brought to a screen divided in
half stating either “Seeking Instruction” or
“Giving Instruction.” Depending on your
situation you will click one or the other. If
you click “Seeking Instruction” you will be
brought to the home page (shown before)
where you are given the opportunity to
click the sport/exercise program you want
assistance in. From there you will enter
some information for your profile including
(name, experience, what kind of help you
are looking for, contact info, and your
location) and from there will be given a list
of “Instructors who are available to provide
their guidance.” From that point it is up to
the seeker and the teacher to set up
arrangements which is done easily by the
contact information listed on the profiles.
• If you click the other half “Giving
Instruction” this means you to are making
a profile, however it is a bit more
extensive. The “Giving Instruction” profile
includes a list of all your basic information,
plus a resume of your sporting/physical
fitness experience that makes you credible
to train and give advice to those who are
actively seeking. By clicking the “Giving
Instruction” option it infers that you are
searching for job opportunities or
dispensing your experienced knowledge to
those who are searching for it in your
suggested field. Once somebody has
become interested in you they can directly
message you on the app itslef using the
messenger method, or by directly
contacting you off of your contact
information from your profile.

9. Importance
• The Sports & Fitness Connect App is very important to any
person who is looking to increase a specific ability in a sport or
type of physical exercise, or just improve on their overall
health. The reason this App is so great is because it allows any
person the opportunity to learn, or teach quickly and
effectively through a simple download from a smart phone. A
user is granted the opportunity to learn or teach with whom
ever they choose, simply based of personal interests and
opinion from the results of your search. It connects clients
with each other through physical fitness and leaves the users
with a sense of satisfaction and additional knowledge.
