ABSTRACT

The Gym Reservation System for fitness center (gym) is a web-based system developed with the

aim of making it easier for customer to book session with coach via online booking by using this

system. After customers login to the system, they can book a queue number by clicking the

button in system and the queue number will be automatically generated by the system, meaning

the customer get a queue number for available coaches that are free during that time to attend the

customers. Furthermore, the system also has several functions among them for customers to book

available session dates online. Customers can also request to get another follow-up session with

the coach if the customers want it. Another function is that customers can see their previous

history of workout session records added by coach such as description of the workout and notes

of recommendation on what to do after the session. Customers also can rate their coach after

completed doing each session. The expected outcome of this project is that this system allow

customers to use the system wherever they are located regardless of time. It will also reduce the

waiting time for customers to get a workout session with coach at the gym. In conclusion,

technology is now more sophisticated and it will benefit many users. A wise users will use

technology to the best for their convenience.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

A system is a set of things working together as part of a mechanism or an interconnecting

network. It is a set of principle or procedures according to something done with all algorithm and

method uses in the system. The system is very useful to provide convenience to user to solve

their problems.

A health club (also known as a fitness club, fitness center, health spa, and commonly

referred to as a gym) is a place that houses exercise equipment for the purpose of physical

exercise which in a controlled environmental condition space and services focused on physical

fitness and health in exchange of a fee (private company) or publicly free (government) to

everyone. Gym usually accept customer booking for coaches. Since most of the places doing the

booking manually, there will be a redundancy toward the booking which can cause an ineffective

session between customers and coaches. These problems have led to the idea of developing a

system that would help the customers to reduce waiting time and get an effective workout

session.

2

Reservation and booking system for gym is a system developed to ease customers to

register early and get fast booking before they get to the gym to do some workouts. In addition,

this system allows customers to get session date with coach and also get a follow-up workout

session at the gym. With this system, customers can book reservation date easily and do not have

to wait for a long period of time to get a coach to attend them at the gym. Besides, the customers

can book queue number in this system and can view display live queue number to let them know

when they will be attended to. This will save the time, cost, and energy of the customers to go to

the gym. Now, customers can use this system wherever they are, regardless of time.

1.2 Problem Statement

1.2.1 Management of reservation

Some coaches can be very busy during the time attending other customers. This makes it difficult

for customers to get one and have to wait for them to be available. Often, customers will go to

the counter or call to confirm. Gym management sometimes take times to check on availability

of coaches when doing it manually. Waiting for a long search of availability from management

will make the customers lose interest in book a reservation there. This system will help reduce

customers waiting time as they can know the status of the coaches whether they available or not.

3

1.2.2 Uncoordinated Schedule

Coach tend to have other customer being attended to or late notice resulted to manual reservation

which make the customers left unattended for a period of time. With this system, coaches will be

able to arrange session for customers which customer can choose from and can also review

approved reservation when they enter the system.

1.2.3 Motivation

Traditionally, before customers get a session workout, they need to go to the place or call for

availability. However, this is time consuming and can decrease the mood to make a book if it

takes a lot of time. As a result, developing a system or program that assist a systematic

reservation is a need for customer and coach which will ease them in accomplishing an effective

workout session and let the gym have a more user-friendly environment and get a better

reputation than before. Building this system can be challenging and exciting because it requires

independent thinking and intuition. In addition, it helps build social and life skills and combines

previous knowledge with the latest.

1.3 Objectives

Every project developed must have objectives to be implemented in order to solve the problem

stated in the beginning. Thus, there are three objectives stated in Gym Reservation System. The

objectives of the project are:

1) To design the customer-coach reservation system that enables coach manage their slot.

2) To develop a system that allows customers to make request to have a session with the

coach after viewing the coach’s availability.

4

3) To test the system by eliminating the possibility of redundancy of the same time slot with

other customers or in case coach is not available because already in a session with another

customer.

1.4 Scope

The scope of the Gym Reservation System is for the use of fitness center throughout Malaysia.

The development of the system will help the admin and coach-customer to manage their session.

The followings are the user’s scope for the proposed system:

1.4.1 Administrator:

• Manage the session record, coaches and customers that exist in the system

• Manage important updates

• Manage database

1.4.2 Coach

• Manage Profile and account

• Can insert reservation date

• View requests by customers either to reject or accept

1.4.3 Customer

• Check date and time slot before proceeding with the reservation process.

• Make booking and check the reservation request status

• View the record of the sent reservation request

• Can book queue number to be attended by free coach on that time.

5

1.5 Project Schedule

Project schedule is one of the import documents before developing the system. It comprises of

activities in timeline and summary elements of the project. It acts as a project guideline to finish

the project on time.

1.6 Limitation

It is only a web-based system so it can only be accessed through web browsers. Also, system

need internet connection to connect database.

1.7 Expected Result

The development of Gym Reservation System is intended to allow the customer to make a

reservation with the coach at an appropriate time without interfering with any other activities. In

addition, to ensure that all records of the customers and coaches are kept in a more organized and

effective manner.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

In this chapter, discussions on past research and developed systems related to the proposed

project. Previous research can serve as a general description and may broaden the topic. In this

literature review, relevant research or systems are presented in the table to facilitate

understanding. The research is then described in paragraphs for more information on components

and details. Comparison between existing systems and the systems to be developed makes for

more ideas so improvements can be made to the systems to be developed.

Reservation are times that are devoted to things like doctor visits, business matters, and much

like booking. The recipient notification agent receives the message notification on behalf of the

recipient. Getting the system with many free participants for behavior is a big challenge.

Nowadays, people use computer systems on it organization. The reason is to reduce human

workload and at the same time, it will require less staff or employees to operate in various

systems within the organization. Organizations may need only one worker per system. In

addition, technology helps people to save time by using electronic systems instead of manually

recording data. For this reason, an online appointment system is built in some organizations to

make meetings and appointments more convenient. The online appointment system is a paperless

electronic application designed with high flexibility and ease of use, implemented for

organizations such as faculty, administration, hospitals, clinics, and other business organizations

9

to handle meetings with customers or customers more effectively. There are many types of online

appointment systems that exist today. This system is usually built to avoid repeating the same

time slot for different users.

2.2 What is protein?

Protein is one of the nutrients along with carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and water.

The source of all of these nutrients is good. Some foods contain much higher amounts of

specific nutrients than others and sometimes we refer to certain foods as “protein foods”. It is

important to realize that all goods contain more than one nutrient and most foods contain

substantial amounts of several nutrients.

Protein is an important part of life and nutrition; it is the substance that composes a large

portion of your body’s structure. Proteins are made up of amino acids arranged in different

combinations. Next to water, protein is the most abundant substance in the human body. It is

part of all body cells and is a vital building block in the growth, maintenance and repair of the

body tissue.

10

2.3 How does nutrition will be related to health?

Food energy is used by the body for metabolic processes, physiological functions, heat

production, growth and synthesis of new tissues. It is also the source of energy for physical

activity. Excess energy intake is stored as fat, which can lead to overweight and obesity.

2.4 How much protein do I need?

How much protein you need in your daily diet depends on the amount of activity you

exert in a day. Below is an equation to help calculate the amount of protein you should have

in your diet.

I. Determine your protein activity factor:

Recreation / Sedentary = 0.4 grams/lb. of body weight

Light daily muscle use = 0.5 grams/lb. of body weight

Runners / Heavy body sports = 0.6 – 0.9 grams/lb. of body weight

II. Calculate grams of protein needed each day:

(Body weight in lbs.) * (Protein activity factor) = (Protein needed in grams)

11

2.5 Web Based Application

A Web-based application refers to any program that is accessed over a network

connection using HTTP, rather than existing within a device’s memory. Web-based

applications often run inside a Web browser. However, Web-based applications also may be

client-based, where a small part of the program is downloaded to a user’s desktop, but

processing is done over the Internet on an external server. Web-based applications are also

known as Web apps.

2.6 Comparison between existing systems

2.6.1 Fitness Center System

This system presents the Fitness Center that consider fulfill the requirement and can

deliver the system on time. However, the interface is bored interface. In order to standardize

the interface, Object Oriented Approach is used to design the system. This method will draw

out some diagrams in order to help having the better idea when developing the system. This

system’s objective is developed to help the organization to reduce the overload paperwork,

storage space problem of keeping the member records and update record quickly and easily

because all the system are computerized.

12

2.6.2 Online Diet Planning System

This system present about Online Diet Planning System which help people to manage

their diet. However, the systems are not specifically focusing on the user’s own needs.

Different people will require different dietary needs or nutrition for their body. This is due to

variety of weight, daily activity level and so on. In order to find out personal body needs, this

web-based application system will help user to get information about their dietary intake.

There will be dietary recommendations for the user based on what they need. It is more

focusing on the user own needs rather than just giving the general recommendations to all

users.

2.6.3 Gym Management System

The Gym Management System requires a system that will handle all the necessary and

minute details easily and proper database security accordingly to the user. However, the gym

is working manually which is time consuming and also it is very costly, because it involves a

lot of paperwork and manually handles the system is also a very difficult task. So, the

objective of the project is to design and develop a user-friendly system, easy to use and

efficient computerized system and also to develop an accurate and flexible system which can

eliminate data redundancy.

2.8 Proposed method

Weighted Sum method has been proposed to develop the Fitness Coaching Management

System (FCMS).

2.8.1 Weighted Sum method

The weighted sum method is the best and simplest multi-criteria decision analysis

(MCDA) for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a number of decision criteria. It

is very important to state here that it is applicable only when all the data are expressed in

exactly the same unit. The calculation weighted sum method as below.

i) Determine criteria based on requirement.

ii) Determine weighted each criteria. The weighted can be obtained via requirement.

iii) Obtain score of option i using each criteria j for all i and j.

iv) Compute the sum of weighted score for each option.’

Si = ∑WjSijj

S - Score

W - Weighted

i - Value of weighted

j - Value of criteria

CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY

3.1 Introduction

This chapter will discuss the methodology in this project. There is a detailed system requirements

description of each phase involved in the project.

3.2 Project Methodology

The methodology that is use to develop the system is Iterative Model. The iterative

model is a particular implementation of a software development life cycle (SDLC) that focuses

on an initial, simplified implementation, which then progressively gains more complexity and a

broader feature set until the final system is complete. There are 5 phases in this methodology that

is planning, analysis and design, implementation, testing and evaluation. The details of these

phases are described in Figure 3.1:

17

Figure 3.1 Iterative Model

3.2.1 Planning

In this phase, the requirement needed to develop the system is identified. The meeting with the

supervisor is held to discuss the system that will be developed. Result for the meeting, the system

decided to develop is an system that is used to manage reservation between customer and coach

at gym known as Gym Reservation System. The requirement that needed to develop the system

is identified. The schedule to develop this application is set into a Gantt chart to ensure that the

proposed system is successfully completed within the schedule by make research, observing and

interview.

3.2.2 Requirements

All of the systems available for the specific techniques collected have been analyzed,

summarized and complied with to identify any requirements needed for the application. Different

techniques in multi-criteria decision methods have been observed. Previous research and articles

18

related to specific techniques focused on their advantages and disadvantages for implementing

appropriate techniques in the system. Web Modeling Language (WebML) is selected for the

techniques that will be implemented in the system as it is best suited for positioning based on the

criteria that will be displayed in the system. From research, there are many local systems related

to reservation system to facilitate business between the two parties.

3.3.3Analysis and Design

In this phase, the details study of requirements for the application such as from the users,

journals, internet and many more are conducted. There might be a change in requirement while in

this phase to follow the requirement that are gathered. The activities for high-level and low-level

design are started in this phase.

3.2.4 Implementation and Deployment

In this phase, the design is translated into coding. To develop this application, the programming

language that has been used is PHP and the server used is Xampp Server. The database also

designed in MySQL. Computer programs are written using a conventional programming

language or an application generator.

3.2.5 Testing

During this phase the developed system is tested. The separated modules are combined and

brought together then tested as the complete system. The system needs to be tested in order to

detected errors. It is also being tested to make sure the function is working such as are the

interface work and operate according to the what user requires. The system wills also being

demonstrated to the user.

19

3.2.6 Evaluation

In the testing phase, the system is demonstrated to the user. In this phase, based on customer

feedback the result from the testing is being evaluated. The error and bugs are detected, and then

the repair and modifications are made accordingly. There might be some feature that is removed

from the early planning phases.

3.3 Software and Hardware Requirement

The requirement of hardware and software are the most important part of the successful of the

project. The project cannot be completed without software and hardware requirement. The

consumption of these facilities depends on what already provided or what they have been used

before. These are the details of the requirements for the Gym Reservation System:

3.3.1 Software

Software requirement of this project are:

a) Notepad++

This software is a text-editor and even a source code editor for the Microsoft Windows. It

supports code folding and syntax highlighting for many programming, scripting and

markup languages which make it the popular source code editors in the world.

b) Xampp Server MySQL

20

This software is a Windows web development environment to create the web application

with Apache2, MySQL database and PHP. It allows easily manage of database via

PhpMyAdmin.

c) Microsoft Project 2007

This software is used for develop the Gantt Chart. As a project management tool that

assists the project managers in managing project schedules, resources assignments,

tracking progress, allocating the project budget, tracking the labor effort and generating

various reports related to project.

d) Microsoft Vision 2007

This software is used for make the report of this system and creates diagrams for this

system. Go from complicated text and tables that are hard to understand to Visio

diagrams that communicate information at a glance.

3.3.2Hardware

Hardware requirement of this project is Laptop Acer with processor Intel® Core i5-8250U CPU

@ 1.60GHz and with memory (RAM) 8.00 GB

21

3.4 Context Diagram

Context diagram is a diagram that defined the boundary between the system or part of the

system and its environment, showing the entities that interacts with it and its input and output

from/to external factors. It is used in a project to get agreement on the scope under

investigation. Context diagram is beneficial because of it depicts the project scope at a high

level of abstraction.

The Context Diagram for Gym Reservation System (GRS) is shown in the figure above, (GRS)

process is at the centre of the diagram. The two other entities (Customer/coach and Admin) are

placed around the central process. For the Client/coach entity, there is three incoming data flow

which are system record, session record, and planning record, and has three outgoing data flow

which are system detail, session detail, and planning detail.

22

3.5 Data Flow Diagram

Figure 3.2 Data Flow Diagram Gym Reservation System

23

Data flow diagram (DFD) is a representation graphical of the flow of the data in

the system. Figure 3.2 show the six process on this system. To use this system, all user

must login the system. Firstly, admin need to register coach that’s mean add the coach.

After that, coach can login and can view their profile and can update that. Coach also can

update the available appointment date in this system. Next, customer must register before

can login the system. After login, customer can view their profile and can update that.

Customer also can view the reservation date available and also can booking the date for a

session. After booking that, the data reservation will update in the reservation database.

Next, customer also register the queue number and the queue number data will update in

queue number database. For the session process, coach can see and view the list

appointment customer and the list queue number of customer, and coach can choose them

to have a session. When choose them, coach must insert the session data customer in the

session database. In the meantime, customer can view the previous record session. Next,

admin can view the list of coach, customer, reservation and queue number.

24

3.6 Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

Figure 3.7 shows the ERD which contains four entities which are CUST, SESSION, COACH

and ADMIN. This ERD will shows the relationship between entities. Each entities have their

own attributes. For Customer entities, it has the attributes cust_id (as primary key), cust_name,

cust_ic, cust_pnumber, cust_password and cust_gender. In addition to Session entities, it has the

attributes app_id (as Primary Key), app_date, app_time, app_location, app_category,

customer_id and coach_id (as Foreign Key). Then, for the Coach entity, it has the coach_id

attribute (as Primary Key), coach_name, coach_ic, coach_pnumber, coach_gender and

coach_password. Finally, for Admin entities, they have the Username attribute (as Primary Key)

and Password. For the cardinal process, one Customer to one Session. Many Session to Many

Coach. One Admin to many Coaches. One Admin to Many Customers.

25

Figure 3.3 Entity Relationship Diagram

3.7 Data Dictionary

The Data Dictionary is a file or set of files containing the metadata of the database. The data

dictionary contains records of other objects in the database, other data, relationships with other

objects, and such as data ownership. The data dictionary is an important component of the

relational database. For most relational database management systems (RDBMS), database

management system software includes a data dictionary to access data within a database.

Table 3.1 shows customer have 6 attributes with customer_id as the primary key. For cust_id and

cust_pnumber it needs to meet the integer requirements, while for cust_name, cust_ic,

cust_gender and cust_password it also needs to meet the varchar requirements

3.8 Summary

For conclusion, in order to develop a successful and complete system for Appointment

Consultation Application, we need to have a better understanding about the flow of the whole

system. The design and modeling which are system framework, context diagram, DFD, ERD,

will make us clear about the system when we have understanding the overall system.

4.1 Introduction

An implementation and result are to construct the product as design specifications developed in

previous phase, methodically verified to ensure that they are error-free and fully meet user

requirements. Implementation and result should be done before a system is fully utilized. System

implementation consider that the hardware and software system components are installed, the

selected software is configured and tested, the software may be customized to meet local

functional requirement, data mapping, signed off and becoming a fully operational production

system.

4.1.1 Deployment/Configuration

Implementation is the process of carrying out, execution or practice of plan according to the

main objective of the system and achieve user requirement. This project is developed using PHP

language in the whole project. For the server, XAMPP server used to manage connection

between Apache and MySQL. The database used in this system is MySQL. This is because,

MySQL is easy to support browser and also easy to support coding in PHP. For writing coding,

software Notepad++ and Sublime Text 2.0 is used in this project. For testing, it uses three

different browsers to avoid problems not supporting the browser. Among the browsers used is

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. When the project is developed, the project file will

30

always be updated and stored in Google Drive Cloud Storage as backup if there is a problem

with the computer.

4.1.2 Interfaces

4.2 Testing

There are two types of testing which are user interface and usability testing. User interface

testing defines the emotions of the potential product users. Usability testing is the expression of

the usage. The product form and its appearance are taken into account during user interface

testing. Usability testing is oriented towards the end user.

48

4.2.1 Types of testing

❖ User interface testing

User Interface testing was created to test and interact with the system to find errors and bug

in this system. The test is done by trying all the buttons in the system to link the correct page

and menu. In the meantime, it tests every page that includes text and design positions, font

size and design size so they are organized and consistent with each other.

• Test the site Navigation

Menu, buttons or links to different pages on site should be easily visible and

consistent on all pages.

• Test the Content:

Content need to read with no spelling or grammatical errors.

❖ Usability Testing

Usability testing is now a key part of any web-based project. It is a method used to view and

evaluate how easy it is to use this system. Tests are done with real users and small focus

groups similar to target audience of this system. It is to measure how this system can be used

and how easy it is to use it.

4.2.2 Test Case

This system is tested repeatedly, especially on interface buttons that are already linked to on

other pages. This is very important to prevent the user from being mistaken on the system.

49

Additionally, test involving connection to the database are also being tested. Among them is,

entering the data into its example system from registering the customer, after insert fill data in

form and the button submit is pressed, the data goes in and stored into the database. Among other

functions tested are display data, update data, insert data and also delete data..

4.2.3 Results

As a result of the test, there are some errors and bug in the user interface such as non-link buttons

on other pages. After encountering some errors, correction is promptly done and continues to be

tested repeatedly to detect other errors. In addition, there is also a coding error that causes data

from the database to not display on the system screen. Correction takes a while to be repaired

because the coding is correct but there are still errors in the system. After repeated testing, the

resulting solution is clear cookies in the browser and the system can continue to display as usual.

In conclusion, if an error on the web system is not necessarily a problem with coding but a

problem with the browser.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION

5.1 Discussion

Overall, this project has been developed and follow the main objective that have been explained

in Chapter 1.

This system developed to facilitate to register early and fast online before they get reservation

date at the gym. In addition, this system allows customer to set reservation date in online with

coach to get follow-up reservation date and do not need to go to the gym for a date. This will

save the time, cost and energy of the customer to go to the gym. Now, customer can use this

system wherever they are, regardless of time.

5.2 Limitation

GUI android application maybe not fit with the size of the device. This is because the resolutions

of each device are different and the possible font size, position and size design system will be

affected.

5.3 Recommendations

Among the suggestions for the addition of this system is, for the reservation, the user can view

calendar slots that are free to book for an appointment. Additionally, it can be improved from a

51

user-friendly standpoint by providing notifications to directors and customer when they have

received approval or feedback on reservation booking.

5.4 Summary

As a conclusion, this system can set reservation date with a coach without them having to go the

gym earlier. This system also hopefully can help the customer, coach and admin do their

working done smoothly.
