I like the interface and community element of Exer. It reminds me a lot of Peloton but for general exercise, which I find much more useful and approachable. This is such a cool app!

@stacy_thompson Thanks Stacey! We're hoping to bring back that in-person community vibe no matter where folks are working out.

Do you envision using Exer AI in the future for sport specific form and alignment. Perhaps coaching best form for striking a soccer ball; or perhaps shooting free-throws? You know what I'm saying...or if you don't, just ignore me ... I'm not sure what I'm asking half the time :-) Thanks again @zawthet @dshan @clint_gehde and Exer Studio team!
Derek Shanahan
@kkoitz Definitely, already working on some of that. :)

This is the coolest product I've worked on, and it's really exciting to share it. I feel like our team was able to solve some really tricky technical, as well as user-experience challenges in a relatively short amount of time. Seeing the ML model being used in an entirely different context from the Plank app is really cool, and the tech we were able to use to tie all the pieces together is awesome. We were able to flex a lot of different muscles for this one (literally!). Our tech arsenal is growing, and momentum is picking up. There’s some really cool places we’ll continue to take it in the future!

As someone who has always worked in fitness, I’m truly impressed with this product. There are so many applications I see in my business, but even more importantly for my clients. Well done exer

This is very cool. I do have some questions also in matters of safety. I have a degree in Exercise Science and worked at a Physical therapy center for a while, how will your product take into account for those that have any underlying health issues and customize the exercise built for them? I see your product has real-time output scores, effort zones, leaderboards, how will your product help the client be careful in their workout output not go through Rhabdomyolysis? Will you add water breaks in the sessions? Will your product be able to watch the client's water intake in order to make sure every workout is a great one? If they don't meet the minimum, they can't work out. Will you have exclusive certification courses for teaching virtually online? Thanks.

@jessehojjensen Hey Jesse, these are great questions, thanks for asking them. Most of this will come down to the coaches using Studio and their relationship to their community/participants. We don't run workouts, or design them. Studio's a tool that coaches can use to augment their instructions, by leveraging the real time data they're getting in the app - it's not a replacement for coaches or trainers. Teaching and coaching virtually is challenging as it is, so we built Studio to add more insights into the experience. As we roll out features like form correction, it should help highlight correct form habits even in moments that the coach may miss visually, as an example. Make sense?

Like most of us the pandemic hit us hard and we were forced to adapt to a new change; going from indoor classes and personal training at the gym to a virtual world overnight was very challenging. And thats just an understatement. When my friend told me about EXER, I was amazed! Not only I can keep track of everyone's performance during LIVE classes, I can also push them individually and keep track on their progress! Thats exactly what the virtual world was missing...a leaderboard app to make it more personal! Thank you to EXER team, I'm so humbled to be apart of the process! And Congrats on the launch!
