With 9 out of 10 Americans planning to continue to work out from home traditional fitness is getting left behind with pen & pencil or low-tech band aids, while AI fitness is removing the human element altogether resulting in poor customer experiences, low customer acquisition and retention, and in turn declining revenue.
“That’s a major pain point- making a place to be engaged, creating a community within your circle, especially now, is difficult….motivation and convenience are the two biggest things that hold anyone back from fitness.”
—Alex, Gym Operations Manager & former Personal Trainer Manager
“I started out doing Instagram live classes, and that was frustrating because I couldn’t see anyone, so you just run the class and hope for the best.”
—Anita, Pilates Instructor, Group Fitness Instructor, & Personal Trainer

For Owners of Community-Based Fitness Services who want to increase client engagement, client retention, client acquisition and REVENUE.
It’s possible to offer interactive, engaging wellness services to ten times as many clients by virtually providing live, real-time human interaction and motivating feedback during, and after, fitness sessions. Unfortunately, most fitness professionals are already maxed out with time constraints and are not equipped with the skills to do this since the technologies used are still extremely new. We have made it our mission to effectively address this problem in a radically new and comprehensive way.

Jennifer Strout, Founder & CEOAt age 4, I was given my first computer from my grandfather, I used one to teach myself math at age 5, to write my first screenplay at age 10, to develop my first webpage at age 12, to code a novel program at age 20, and to patent my first invention this past summer.
From over a decade of work experience as a counselor in the mental health field to gaining hands-on experience as a personal trainer in the fitness industry, I understand the human condition and how both mental health and physical health are inextricably intertwined. After the birth of my second son, despite my best efforts, I was still unable to find a local gym that suited the needs of both myself and my children. While I liked the convenience and flexibility of at-home solutions, they lacked either the human connection data, or both. I wondered, why should I have to choose between partial, inadequate solutions? From the trainer's perspective I felt that the industry lacked any competitive technology. How could one reasonably live-stream a class while still providing feedback to multiple users at once? I could not even effectively focus on numerous people speaking during a video conference, and at least that technology highlighted who was speaking at the time, whereas fitness instructors did not even have any way to know who to focus on when providing virtual solutions. Therefore, I am both the consumer and the end-user of our solution. |

The Old Way of Hosting Virtual Classes
FEEDBACK, BUT NO DEMONSTRATION
DEMONSTRATION, BUT NO FEEDBACK
|
When running remote classes, trainers sit close to the computer or mobile device screen in order to monitor clients.
“I honestly sit here close to the screen and I don't demo.” —Michael, Strength Coach, Group Fitness Instructor, and Personal Trainer Or they do not give any feedback at all.
“I started out doing Instagram live classes, and that was frustrating because I couldn’t see anyone, so you just run the class and hope for the best.” —Anita, Pilates Instructor, Group Fitness Instructor, and Personal Trainer Results:Fitness instructors have a difficult time viewing clients due to large class size, lighting, angle, clothing, etc.
So instructors have to trade-off between leading the class and monitoring clients. The lack of an appropriate combination of demonstration and feedback leads to a difficulty in obtaining clients who are unfamiliar with the routine as new clients require demonstration. Client retention also suffers as clients see little added value above watching a free streaming service given the lack of interactive feedback with instructors' current solutions. Additionally, the class size is greatly restricted with this approach. |
The New Way of Hosting Virtual Classes
|
Use a platform enabled motion tracking software.
Results:The software monitors clients' and alerts the instructor when necessary so the instructor doesn't have to remain hypervigilant and instead can focus on providing demonstration and a high energy class.
Clients are motivated and engaged and pleased with the level of positive feedback. Instructors can easily expand class size while simultaneously providing accurate, data-driven guidance on clients' form and performance, resulting in less stress and effort on the part of the instructors. Overall, instructors benefit from an increase in client loyalty and retention, and an increase in acquiring and onboarding of new clients through the community. |
DEMONSTRATION AND FEEDBACK
|
|
Before, when you wanted to provide real-time feedback during a virtual workout, you would have to sit and stare at a bunch of tiled screens.
|
|
But now, fitness instructors, you can use our simple motion tracking software, allowing you to provide motivating real-time feedback to clients both publicly and privately, during and after virtual sessions without having to give up demonstrating proper technique and form since the software enables you to focus on only one client at a time by bringing the client of focus’ image up to full screen, allowing you to easily increase class size without decreasing performance.
Real-time Synchronization that Alerts You to which Client to Focus on at a Particular Time
Custom and Personalized Automatic Messaging
|
Additionally, the software sends out automatic or custom feedback messages after sessions for additional feedback, guidance, motivation, and engagement.
|
|
Both trainers and clients can review video outtakes after a session to make side by side comparisons to work from to achieve improvements.
|
Side by Side of Client and Trainer at a Particular Instant

Our solution is targeted at the fitness market and fills the gap between the human-driven traditional gyms and data-driven AI fitness, allowing gym owners, fitness instructors, and members to enjoy the benefits of both worlds. We use AI to enhance fitness instructors, not to replace them, because we believe it's time to put community back into community-based fitness.
With 9 out of 10 Americans planning to continue to work-out from home traditional fitness is getting left behind with pen & pencil or low-tech band-aids while AI fitness is removing the human element altogether.

Our user interviews confirm the importance of community with 53% of people who exercise and 91% of trainers reporting that they enjoy the aspect of community and interaction with others.
Our easily accessible, mobile solution does not require any hardware and allows fitness instructors to provide real-time, motivating feedback during remote, or hybrid, interactive classes, without having to stop demonstrating proper form and technique while saving countless hours on data analysis through AI generated insights and customized, actionable wellness plans.
For fitness users instead of working out in front of a mirror, they can work out in front of their live fitness instructor - the same instructor they have at their local studio or gym - while still receiving the data-driven metrics that are expected from AI fitness.
