Hey Product Hunt! Luca here, co-founder of PlayRep — built alongside my partner Hanna, and our two kids Max (3) and Phoenix (9 months). We built this because we were stuck choosing between working out and being present with our kids. Every "parent fitness" solution we tried either ignored the child completely, or told us to work out while they napped. PlayRep takes a different angle: your child is part of the workout. They play a game (paper ball races, tunnel crawls, peek-a-boo squats) while you do your reps. The app calculates exercises based on your child's weight and age. As they grow, the workout grows with them. We're parents first. The app was built from real sessions — half-finished sets, a toddler on my back, Hanna holding Phoenix in a front carrier doing Romanian deadlifts. It works. Would love your feedback, especially: - Does the game mechanic make sense? (It's the heart of the product) - What would you need to see to try it with your own kids? First workout is free — no card required. Happy to answer anything. — Luca

PlayRep isn't meant to replace your gym

Building PlayRep with my partner Hanna. Most parent fitness content targets mums. But I train with my 3yo and 9mo squats with Phoenix in a front carrier, games with Max between sets.

I go to the gym twice a week. PlayRep fills the other days two quick sessions with my kids at home, no childcare needed.

Sundays we do a family workout, all four of us. The kids think it's a game. We get a real session in.

The point isn't to choose between gym and kids. It's to stop skipping training on the days you're with them.
