Congrats on the launch! This looks like a super cool Mac app, especially in these trying times. Super excited to try it out and give feedback on the experience :D

@johoseff We'll be sharing exclusive free virtual fitness classes with our studio partner Sweat from Home next week so you can try it out, looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Big thanks to @zawthet @dshan @clint_gehde for some next-level workout sh#t. When I was introduced to Exer Plank and Exer Studio, I was a couple months deep into the Quarantine. I was a big fan of running / taking HIIT classes with other people. So the “no people” thing was real bummer for me :-) When I jumped in as beta Tester with the Exer team, I didn’t "get" how they were going to measure “output” with any reasonable accuracy. Knowing Derek for a while only amplified my skepticism :-) …But it works … seriously just works. Sometime that’s all that needs to be said! Having worked through several 30 minute sessions, my exertion scores consistently reflect how hard I work. It tells me when I can be working harder. It tells me when people are catching up. I need that kind of motivation and gamification now. I think most of us do.   Big old congratulations, Exer Team. I’ll see you soon!  
 Stay well, everyone…

@kkoitz Beta tester FTW - thanks so much for showing up man, and for being so in shape it makes me jealous. Looking forward to more workouts! 💪

What’s up hunters! 😻 Stoked to share Studio with you today - a much better way to do virtual workouts. 🔥Important: Our waitlist will be first-come, first-serve + get you access to free virtual fitness sessions with our studio partner, so get signed up! If you’ve done Zoom workouts (or IG, Youtube… or Webex?!) you maybe felt like something was missing. It isn’t the same as your in-person gym, or your in-the-park group sessions. 🏞 Getting feedback from your coach isn’t quite as dialed in, the competitive vibes are different, and let’s not even get into Zoom fatigue after a long day of remote work. 😅 Studio brings all that back. 💪 You get real time workout scores, effort zones and leaderboards - which means you can compete against yourself or everyone else, even though you’re at home in front of your computer. And you don’t need hardware or equipment, so no more of this: 📍Fun tip: You can actually turn off the Zoom camera - Studio still sees your workout, gets you on the leaderboard and allows your coach to see a chart of your score. I just actually realized that Studio allows you to work out “pants optional” but let’s not get into that. 🤭 Anyway - last thing I thought you might enjoy is seeing the AI in action. It follows 20+ body points and ignores your wallpaper, kitchen… clothes… to generate our scoring. Privacy first! 👀 🔥Check out this little demo of what the AI is looking at:
It’s cool stuff, and we’ll be around all day to answer questions, so ask away. ✋ And we’ll be getting you all off our waitlist soon!

This is such a great idea. :) Home workouts alone can be super difficult especially in times of COVID and having a coach and indicators on how you are doing comparatively to others would be extremely motivational!
Derek Shanahan
@laurayuan95 Soon we'll be adding in Form Correction and Rep Counting features that will let you get super-quick feedback on movements, and augment coaches instructions during workouts. Stay tuned...

Using Exer AI provided my best at home workout during COVID thus far! Love the competitive aspect with the leaderboard.
Zaw Thet
@charmandita always competitive on the leaderboards! see you in class soon Charlotte!

Im half ursula half jaffar over here. just realized i dont event need hardware, this is a mac app, and that's amazing.
Derek Shanahan
@mackflavelle Yeah zero hardware needed :)

Incredible product!! Highly recommend... really a game changer when it comes to working out. Motivates me to exercise so much more and have fun while doing so. Congrats to the amazing team on such a cool app!
Zaw Thet
@celine_w thanks Celine! keep crushing it on the leaderboards!
Kelly Johannsen
What a great idea! I am motivated by competition, even if it's just against myself; does Studio keep a history of my workouts so I know if I am improving over time?
Nicole Aw
@ringmasterkj Thanks Kelly and great question! We're currently building the workout history feature so stay tuned 😉
Andy Seth
Feeling this product! Virtual workouts feel really alone... they're convenient, yeah, but there's so much you're missing out by not being with a live coach. Very creative how you've solved that problem and couldn't be more timely. Nice work!
Nicole Aw
@andy_seth Thanks Andy! We'll be sharing free virtual fitness classes with one of our partners next week and would love to see you there!

Exer is awesome! The body position tracking is spot on and the feedback is just what I need—I often lack confidence in my workout form so having these real-time engagement and corrections really helps me take it to the next level. VERY excited about this!
Derek Shanahan
@tommy_j Thanks Thomas! We'll be rolling out form correction, which will go a LONG way to closing the gap on getting real time instructions on your form, alongside any help you get from a coach or trainer. Stay tuned. :)
