Someone on GitHub has turned 1,324 fitness exercises into an open-source database—and it’s not just text descriptions.
Each exercise comes with a static JPG image + animated GIF demonstration + bilingual description + target muscles + equipment type. All 2,648 media files are fully packaged.
It also includes a local web page with filtering by body part and keyword search, ready to use out of the box.
Three most practical components:
- index.html: double-click to open – search + filter + grid view. Click an exercise to see a large image + play the GIF. Fully local.
- setup.html (developer’s delight): one-click SQL table creation statements (MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite), multi-language API example code (JS/Python/Go/Java), and even built-in LLM prompts to let AI write backend endpoints for you.
- exercises.json + images/ + videos/ folders: core data and media files ready to read – integrate with zero friction.
Coverage is comprehensive: Chest 163, Back 203, Legs 227, Upper Arms 292, Shoulders 143, Waist 169, Bodyweight exercises 325.
Building a fitness app prototype, short-video material, AI motion recognition training, a personal knowledge base – you can skip the “from zero to something” stage entirely.
I think the real value of a project like this isn’t the data volume – it’s the “out-of-the-box” four-letter word. The built-in local web page directly demonstrates the value of the data. You don’t need to write a frontend first to see results. What it saves isn’t just money – it’s that most grueling stretch of time from an idea to something that actually runs.
