Yes, you're right in that there isn't a textbook example of 'proper form'.

I appreciate you finding the quote on the website! For clarity, at the bottom of the homepage's FAQ section ("I already know how to do my exercises. Is this still for me?"), we’re not here to teach proper form since everyone is different. We just assist with accountability and using full range of motion. For premium users, we do have the option for users to freely control their strictness level when the app counts your reps.

The way we set the AI is by prioritizing certain body parts. For squats, we focus more on hip lowering than arm positioning. It's just making sure: Are you going all the way down?

No, we didn't work with a licensed physical therapist. We had certified trainers try it out and hear their feedback. This is just meant as a tool to keep you accountable on your form. If it's not to your liking, that's fine! Just trim down the level to your preference.

Last yes, we do place the pricing upfront after the onboarding pages. The challenges and programs are free to try after you swipe down on the paywall. I just didn't communicate the instructions properly. If you ever change your mind and want to give us constructive feedback, would love to apply that and help others!

I appreciate the comment and hope you have a good one!

My friend, the title of this post suggests that the app can correct your form.

Do you use this app when you work out?

Yep! This is just to inform that everyone is different so we're not teaching the one right way. That's why we didn't set it at 100% form strictness for every one of the exercises. We just correct your form to the exercise shown, but no means claim that it's the one true way.

Yes! Not for every single workout since I've been working out for a while. My friends and I occasionally do squat challenges and pull up challenges for fun. Think we set them at like 100% strictness whenever we do them. I have one where I do 100 squats at 70% strictness since it takes me like 5 minutes to do them. Shreds my legs lol
