Idea is interesting. I watched the video and it was good except for the black curtain in the background. How much will the gym be per a month?

@parag_r It depends on the city. For reference, in San Francisco, Equinox is $350 a month and Barry's Bootcamp is $400. That said, Crunch and Fitness SF are $60 to $90 a month. We're starting at $150 a month in our SF location, with no hidden fees (initiation fees, annual fees, cancellation fees, etc). Memberships will be a lot less in other cities, like Atlanta or Austin, where real estate is less expensive. tbh we're still figuring it. Basically we're aiming to price below Equinox but more than Crunch.

@parag_r Black curtains - Yeah :P I wish we could have gotten rid of those as well. The gym is full of mirrors, and many mirrors reflect other mirrors. In other words, each bench press is reflected like 5 times because of all the mirrors. It looks good in person - most gyms have mirrors around all the walls - but on video it looks chaotic. The background would distract from the foreground. So we had to curtain it out.

@derekpankaew Ahh okay. I was wondering what was going on with it because the video production is high but I didn't understand why those curtains were there haha.

This looks really cool and something I would use. I always hire a personal trainer to keep me accountable and motivated! I love how it tracks and keeps progress of what you're doing and gamify's it to keep motivation up without all that. It's unclear where the locations actually are though?

@nevernorth Thanks Quinn! That's our hope - to give everyone a personal trainer 😁 The first location is in SF. We have a small gym already, and are opening a larger one this year. Then New York. We intend to franchise after that, so it's difficult for us to say which cities will come first. The goal is expand fairly quickly and be all over the US.

@derekpankaew I'm also confused on the website... what is the prizes all about? because when you click join waitlist, it links you to the email form where the CTA is win prizes. What prizes? lol. If I want to join a waitlist, what do prizes have to do with that?

Hey Hunters, We’re Derek & Eric, a team deeply passionate about health & fitness. We built Next! Because we thought fitness is broken. 80% of gym users quit before achieving their goals. We thought this had to change. We wanted to build a gym that makes working out easy, fun, and effective. A gym that: --- Plans all your workouts for you, --- Shows you how to do new exercises, --- Automatically tracks your workouts, --- Lets you measure your body fat %, --- Gives you feedback on your form --- Gamifies the experience, to make it fun & interesting Nothing like this existed. So we decided to build it. Using an Amazon Go-like system, we’ve built a gym that gives you a “personal trainer experience”, without having to pay for one. For our launch, we’re giving away stock options, free memberships, and a bunch of other prizes. I hope you’ll check it out! Derek & Eric, -- Next! Fitness Team Technology Note: Our tech stack includes ML models we’ve trained from scratch, including YOLO-based object detection models and Hourglass-based pose estimation models. Happy to answer any questions about our tech! Privacy Note: All our inference is processed offline, no data is sent to cloud providers like AWS. No personally identifiable visual exercise data is ever stored, on our servers or cloud servers.

@derekpankaew a bit of feedback on the video: i like **real** footage. I’d much rather watch you as the founder show a real person using it for the first time how it works.

It sounds really cool, but I’m not a fan of applications like that. I honestly don’t believe it since an application won’t be able to understand what my body needs. All of my life I had been really lazy and unfit but eight months ago I decided to change that. I decided that I had to find a personal trainer who would help me change my body. I asked around, and everyone said that Lucas James had the best personal training program. I decided to give it a shot, and I wasn’t disappointed at all. This man changed my life and all of my habits. Today I’m a fit and happy man who is still improving.

Wow. This looks amazing, curious to hear how long you've been working on this idea, I can see this really growing!

@edisonjoao6871 Thanks Edison! We've been working on it for about a year. Developing each computer vision model - like the ability to detect barbells, or to know where your arms & legs are - took 1-2 months each. The smart mirror took a couple months as well. The iOS app took 2 months to develop. Raising VC money also took a couple months. Then we actually built a gym in San Francisco, installed all the systems, and got the whole system to work together. In total, we've been working on it for about a year. We're super excited to finally share what we've been working on 😁

@derekpankaew thank you for sharing the timeline and a bit of insight. As a fellow founder, hearing that part and the finish product always inspires me. Congrats man! Can't imagine how you must feel seeing your vision come to life. Can't wait to either go to one when in San Fran or for when you guys expand to South Florida! All the best!

As a personal trainer this is really interesting, body tracking has a lot of potential to replace some of what a trainer can do. Most gyms use a lot of upfront capital for equipment, whereas these guys seem to be bootstrapping with only 4-5 pieces of equipment in their demo video. I hope they can survive long enough to prove the concept. Maybe it's possible with better algorithms to use equipment more effectively. But can we just talk about how the guy in the video is doing a completely different exercise (hammer curl) and the reps are being counted, while the "super-smart AI" is showing him a different exercise (bicep curl)?? Maybe cut that part out of your video, honestly.

@tombielecki All great points! We do intend to use equipment more efficiently. Most gyms have a lot of equipment that's sitting there, waiting for someone to use. Simultaneously, there may be a line for the bench press or squat rack. We intend to eliminate both, by intelligently scheduling when each user arrives at each piece of equipment. So there's no lines, and we also have maximum use from each machine. Good point on the hammer curl as well - we'll fix that :P

Awesome product! Can the censors scan through the bench equipment? I'm confused on how it corrects form.

@sethlouey Hi Seth! Thanks for asking. Our system uses sensors & cameras to know where every object in the gym, as well as the position of your body, at any given time. For example, if you’re doing a bench press, our system can tell: * Where the barbell is, * Where the bench is, * Where the barbell rack is, * Where each weight plate is (and how heavy it is) We can also tell: * Where your hands are, and how far apart they are, * Where your elbow and shoulders are, * The angle between your elbow, shoulder, and hands * How far apart your knees are Using a combination of all that info, we’re able to determine if the exercise is done with good form. To show an example, here’s what our object detection “sees” as I’m exercising: https://youtu.be/4a_U00KZ7uo

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but based on your PH listing and the website, it isn't immediately obvious to me what you're selling. Is it the mirror? Is it the app that connects to the mirror? Is it a gym membership with the mirrors in it? Or are your licensing the mirrors to gyms? Nonetheless, it looks really slick :) I'd love to have all the insights at my fingertips

@chrisbuttenham Thanks for asking Chris! It's a gym membership with mirrors in it, plus every other piece of equipment is connected as well. In other words, even exercises that aren't using the mirror (i.e. running on the treadmill) can be tracked using our system. At the end of the workout, you can check all your stats in the app.
