Blood Sweat Cheers 💪
Your guide and companion – let your phone be your trainer
About
Blood Sweat Cheers is a workout app built for gym lovers who want to nail their form but don’t want to spend a fortune on personal trainers.
I started this project during the lockdown — partly to create something useful, and partly to sharpen my app-building skills. What began as a side project turned into a full journey: from recording and editing exercise videos (with my friend as the demo athlete), to uploading, storing metadata in Firestore, and integrating everything into the app. It taught me a lot beyond just coding — video editing, product design, and the full process of bringing an idea to life.
"Training your body shouldn’t feel like a chore. It’s not about lifting the heaviest weights, but about doing every rep with focus and perfect form."
