About

I’ve been training since 2015. After years in the gym, I realized my problem was not lack of knowledge. I knew what to do. The real problem was consistency. I’m building Rex Fitness Companion — an AI fitness companion that remembers your fitness journey, goals, struggles, comebacks, and patterns, then helps you keep showing up.

Hi, I’m Mohamed — building an AI fitness companion from my own gym consistency problem

Hey Product Hunt,

I m Mohamed.

I ve been training since 2015, and I m currently building Rex Fitness Companion, an early AI fitness companion for people who already know how to train but still struggle with consistency.

I m still very early, so I m not here to launch or promote heavily yet.

Is solving your "own problems" the best way to build a product?

For us, it started from something frustrating: creating content felt very annoying and time-consuming. We tried the classic way: scripting, memorizing, filming, editing. But none of it felt authentic. And honestly, it was eating time we needed to focus on other things.

At the same time, we kept reading the same advice everywhere:
"founders should build in public and create content consistently". Easy to say but harder to do in reality. So instead of forcing ourselves to create content from scratch, we tried something simple: recording our own calls and using those moments as content.

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.
But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
