Exer Studio is a Mac app that delivers real time exertion stats and a Peloton-style leaderboard virtual workout session using edge-based AI and computer vision – no extra hardware needed. 💪
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 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?
I need it to tell me when I'm slouching like a Disney villain. Just turn it on and watch me work to tell me to STRAIGHTEN UP. Until then - stoked for this gang, seems like pretty awesome tech.
@charmandita always competitive on the leaderboards! see you in class soon Charlotte!

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!

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!
@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...

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…
