Abstract

This article introduces Sculptify, an innovative web application that streamlines the integration of healthy habits into daily life. With tailored training programs and meal plans, it caters to a diverse user base ranging from beginners to fitness enthusiasts with existing routines. Users can choose from predefined options, seek professional advice, or customize their plans. Focused on simplifying the complex landscape of personal wellness, Sculptify eliminates confusion and contradiction, providing a comprehensive and accessible platform for sustainable lifestyle changes. The app equips users with the knowledge and tools necessary for a permanent shift in their approach to health. Additionally, Sculptify serves as a client-management platform for nutritionists and trainers, facilitating a seamless connection between professionals and their clients.
