About The Creator
Mark L. Reyes
Hi, I'm Mark, creator of Desktop Athlete. I'm a Frontend Engineer with 18 years working with Engineering, Product, Creative & Marketing Teams.
Described by past teammates as a quick study, I'm generally in the trenches of the presentation layer of your web experience. I also side quest on the mic & advocate for what's important.
I made this app to help busy people like you and me find workouts that fit into our daily grind. I believe that fitness should be accessible to everyone, and I hope this app helps you on your journey.
About Desktop Athlete
Desktop Athlete was created in the throes of a hardship we all shared, lockdown due to COVID-19. Since gyms, public parks and beaches were essentially off limits in my area, this portion of the multiverse came about as a way for me to keep sane during such difficult times. I held onto this idea even after the blip ended because I felt compelled to turn a negative into a positive.
This AI Assistant is designed to help people incorporate fitness into their busy lives. The suggestions were procured over a period of time by my wife (no days off), and is essentially a compiled list of YouTube workouts that I've done multiple times over and still continue to do so to this day. Add me on Strava for more details.
Built primarily in TypeScript through React Router v7, Tailwind, Netlify and modern AI services provided by OpenAI, my hope is to provide practical fitness programs that anyone can do, anytime, anywhere. As I discover more workouts that I feel are worthy of being added to the list, I will update the app. I also plan to add more features in the future, so stay tuned.
I'd be grateful for any additional cups of coffee in order to keep this platform up and running!
