GYMSTREAK

Gymstreak is a utility to print an indicator of your recent gym attendance in your bash prompt.

This only works with your Planet Fitness checkins. I am not affiliated with Planet Fitness and they may block this at any time.

By default visits are shown with yellow, days off are shown in purple:

These characters and colors can be customized. See output format.

Installation

Run npm i -g gymstreak

Setup

There are two steps to set this up once installed.

1. Install in your crontab

Run crontab -e and add the following line. This will query the gym every hour for checkins.

0 * * * * gymstreak fetch --username "xxxx" --password 'xxxx' --days "14"

2. Configure your prompt in .bash_profile (or .bashrc):

This will output your current streak in your prompt. If you've never done this before, I recommend you read this first: https://www.howtogeek.com/307701/how-to-customize-and-colorize-your-bash-prompt/

function gym_streak(){
    gymstreak format 2>/dev/null
}

PS1+='$(gym_streak) '

Output Format

Use the format command's --went <spec> and --away <spec> options to control how the days you attend and/or don't attend the gym are formatted. The format of spec is: character[:color], where character is the character to display and color is an optional ANSI 256 color code.

For example:

gymstreak format --went x:201 --away o

Will display days attended in a pink x and days away in an o using the default away color.

Certain characters may appear squished together. In this case you can add a space to the end when specifying them:

gymstreak format --went '💪 ' --away '💤 '

Recent Changes

Starting with v1.1, gymstreak reads and writes a file instead of relying on the file being piped through stdin/stdout. The default file is ~/.gymstreak but can be overridden by the --file option.
