gymbot

This was a bot I created to book gym time slots during the pandemic. Now that my location mandates a 10 person limit to the gym at a time, it's been much harder to schedule a gym session. The gym opens slots every day at midnight for the day that is 2 days away. I went on once to see how fast they get booked and saw that it took less than 10 minutes for all the slots to be fully booked, so I decided to make a bot since I don't want to stay up until midnight every night to book a gym session especially when I need to wake up early.

This bot is made mostly through selenium and made specifically for the Fit4Less booking system. It may be helpful as a template for creating similar bots but the navigation will need to be adjusted appropriately.
