• Head over to the Glide website (glideapps.com).
• Either sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one.

• Hit the “New App” button on your dashboard.
• You can start from scratch or use a template. For a fitness challenge, starting from scratch is usually best for full customization.

• Make a new Google Sheet to store all the data for the fitness challenge.
• Set up columns for participants, challenges, progress tracking, and any other relevant info.
• Possible columns include:
• Participant Name
• Email
• Challenge Description
• Start Date
• End Date
• Daily/Weekly Goals
• Progress

• In Glide, choose the Google Sheet you just created as your data source.
• Glide will automatically create a basic app layout using your table.

• In the Layout section, customize how the data is displayed.
• Add tabs relevant to the fitness challenge, such as:
• Participants
• Challenges
• Progress Tracker
• Use different components like lists, cards, and charts to display the information attractively.

• Set up forms for participants to join the challenge.
• Add a submission form where participants can update their progress.
• Ensure the forms save data directly into your Google Sheet for real-time updates.

• Enable user profiles so each participant has a personalized experience.
• To do this, go to the "Settings" tab and enable user profiles.
• Link user profiles to your Google Sheet, ensuring each participant’s data is secure and private.

• Set up notifications to keep participants engaged and informed about their progress.
• Use Glide’s built-in notification tools or integrate with third-party services like Zapier.

• Before launching, thoroughly test your app to ensure it works as expected.
• Check that forms submit data correctly, and all links and buttons function as intended.

• Once testing is complete, share your app with participants.
• Glide offers several sharing options, including a shareable link or embedding it in a website.

• Keep an eye on the app’s performance and participant engagement.
• Make necessary updates and improvements based on feedback and evolving needs.

Following these steps will guide you through creating a comprehensive fitness challenge app using Glide. Adjustments and customizations may be necessary based on the specific needs and preferences of the participants and the nature of the challenge.
