This project was started with a few goals in mind. The main goals of this project were the following:

Become more familiar with non-relational databases
Connecting a frontend app to a backend server with the capability of writing to a database
Setting up a way to easily create, record, and save workouts
Ability to query and perform analysis on workout data
