Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the temporary closure of gyms and changed how people exercise. A growing number of people choose to exercise at home instead. Despite the rapid growth, little is known about the problems associated with this change and how information systems can be adopted to alleviate these problems. This paper identifies two problems, higher risk of injury and lower motivation levels, and proposes a set of design principles for the development of digital fitness trainer (DFT) for home gyms. Using a design science research approach, requirements are derived from interviews with practitioners and motivation theories. Design principles are then formulated based on these requirements. This work, when completed, will shed light on the challenges individuals face with exercising at home and how DFT can be designed to address these challenges.
