Reflective design method

My project in one sentence

Making fitness equipment by yourself from bioplastic to stimulate home fitness during the lockdown (Covid-19).

Which disciplines are involved in this and what is considered normal

  1. Gyms - Accessible for everyone

  2. Rehabilitation care - Specific way of fitness with focus on a part of your body. Guided workouts.

  3. Sports club (for example a football club) - Two or three times a week training and one match.

  4. Fitness equipment companies - You can only exercise with expensive equipment or if you have a lot of money

From which larger issues does this assumption divert attention

  1. Fitness equipment: Money and space.

  2. Sports club: Closed during the lockdown, athletes are stuck at home.

  3. Rehabilitation care: Closed during the lockdown, people are lagging behind with rehabilitation or physical complaints.

  4. Gyms: Closed during the lockdown, people do not know how to workout at home.

How could you reverse it. "What if.."

What if fitness equipment was cheap and mini.

  • Foldable fitness equipment

What if there was a priority plan for specific patients for physiotherapy during the lockdown.

  • Priority for patients who have to relearn to walk for example.

What if gyms bring their equipment to you.

  • Renting equipment from gyms.
