Workout Dashboard

Workout Dashboard — Django admin panel for managing workouts and videos

Workout Dashboard is an administrative panel for a mobile fitness application that allows centralized management of workouts, categories, exercises, and video content. The system is integrated with Cloudflare R2 for video storage and synchronizes prepared content with the mobile application.

The main task of the project is to simplify the addition of new workouts to the mobile application without manual work with Excel spreadsheets, file names, video archives, and complex data structures. The administrator receives a convenient dashboard where categories can be created, exercises added, videos attached, descriptions, timings, difficulty levels, and other parameters configured.

Main functionality

The administrator can create workout categories, add workouts to them, form a list of exercises, attach videos from Cloudflare R2, edit descriptions, sorting, activity, and additional parameters.

After filling in the data in the dashboard, the content becomes ready for use in the mobile fitness application. This allows for quick updates to the workout library without direct intervention in the application code or manual editing of complex tables.

Sections of the admin panel
- Workout catalog — management of categories, workouts, and exercises
- Media library — working with videos from Cloudflare R2
- Archive — hidden or inactive content
- Access — managing administrative access
- Dashboard — overall statistics on content
- Quick actions — quick navigation to key modules

Result

As a result, a convenient content management system for the mobile fitness application was created. The dashboard eliminated the dependency on manual synchronization of Excel spreadsheets and video files, reduced the risk of errors in names and structures, and allowed for quick addition of new workouts, exercises, and videos through a single administrative panel.

The project became an internal tool for scaling fitness content: the administrator can manage the entire library of workouts, and the mobile application receives already structured and ready-to-display data.
