MagRep is a modular device designed for cable weight machines that streamlines workout tracking in the gym. It uses a custom Raspberry Pi interface and sensors, including a time-of-flight sensor, infrared sensors, and a laser sensor, to accurately capture rep counts and weight measurements. In practice, gym users attach MagRep to a machine, then start their workout by tapping their phone or scanning an ID. The device automatically logs every exercise, providing real-time data that appears on an intuitive interface. This detailed feedback allows users to monitor progress, adjust their workouts, and share performance data with trainers, while gym managers gain reliable insights for equipment scheduling and overall facility improvements.
As team lead, I managed the entire project workflow by resolving conflicts, coordinating with mentors and technical experts, and ensuring team members met deadlines. I played a key role in developing the cabling model, selecting electrical sensors, and leading customer validation, usability testing, and documentation efforts. My contributions ensured that MagRep not only meets rigorous performance standards but also directly addresses the practical needs of gym users and fitness professionals.
