We're three friends from Virginia Tech. Starting our journey, we had no idea what to build...until our CTO, who had never worked out before, created a rep-counting app to help himself. That s when we realized we also forget our rep counts! We looked at other fitness apps and felt they were all the same, just with different designs. You can check out our building process here:
After speaking with a lot of people who use fitness apps, we identified three key issues: difficulty in recognizing proper form without external feedback, the high cost of personal training, and the need for accountability.
