Workout Challenge

Workout Challenge is a web application for running private group fitness competitions. Participants add workouts manually or link their Strava account for automatic imports, then compete using customizable metrics, periods and point rules while tracking leaderboards and personal progress.

Key Features

• Create and join competitions via invitation links with configurable goals (time, distance, calories, count)
• Multiple goal periods: per day, week, month or whole competition; configurable min/max per workout/day/week
• Manual workout entry and automatic Strava import with scheduled daily syncs handled by background workers
• Personal dashboard with stats, streaks and progress; competition dashboards with friends' activities and leaderboards
• Weekly automated emails (leaderboard and optional personal progress reports)
• Responsive UI with light/dark modes; Docker support and a production-ready docker-compose setup

Use Cases

• Run a workplace or friend group steps/minutes/distance challenge with per-user tracking and leaderboards
• Aggregate workouts from Strava for teams and present weekly leaderboard reports via email
• Host multi-goal competitions (e.g., distance + minutes) with caps to encourage consistent, healthy activity

Limitations and Considerations

• Automatic imports rely on Strava OAuth and are subject to Strava API rate limits; administrators must register API credentials
• Background processing requires a task broker and worker setup (Celery) and optional Redis for caching in production
• Email notifications require a configured SMTP provider to send scheduled reports
• No official native mobile apps; site is responsive but mobile experience depends on browser

Workout Challenge is focused on privacy-respecting, configurable group competitions and is packaged for containerized deployment. It is suitable for small teams or communities wanting a lightweight, self-hosted fitness challenge platform.
