Innovative Fitness App Uses Your Phone’s Camera to Count Repetitions and Ensure Proper Form

In the quest to make at-home workouts more effective and convenient, I recently developed a mobile application that leverages Artificial Intelligence to automate rep counting and promote correct exercise technique. This innovative tool utilizes your device’s camera, combined with cutting-edge Machine Learning technology, to deliver real-time feedback during your workouts.

Technology Stack

The application is built with a modern web architecture, employing Next.js for a seamless user experience, TensorFlow.js for real-time pose estimation and exercise analysis, and MongoDB for data management.

Current Capabilities

While still a work in progress, the app offers several valuable features:

• Automated Repetition Counting: Focus on your workout and let the app track your reps using your camera.
• Visual Exercise Guidance: Access GIFs and step-by-step instructions to ensure clarity.
• Form Correction: Receive animated indicators that help maintain proper posture, preventing cheat movements and encouraging safe exercise practices.
• Workout Management: Easily switch between sets, monitor rest periods, and keep track of your progress to stay motivated and accountable.

Limitations

Please note that the app currently supports a limited set of exercises, including push-ups, squats, standing oblique crunches, standing kickbacks, reverse lunges, and calf raises. It does not yet accommodate workouts requiring equipment, social sharing features, personalized fitness plans, voice prompts, or video recording. For privacy and security reasons, all processing happens locally on your device — no videos are stored or transmitted elsewhere.

Personal Experience

As the developer of this app, I can attest to its reliability: it’s the only fitness tool I’ve used daily for an entire month. It’s designed to help users maintain proper form and stay consistent with their workouts without the need for external supervision or timers.
