The story of how we collected 1M REPS

The initial concept was:
A pair of devices that can be attached onto both ends of any barbel to detect imbalances in real-time. When the barbell is uneven, the user is notified via sound. Wearing headphones will sound audio on the corresponding side that needs adjustment.

A portable device that has a strong magnet to attach onto any barbel and utilizes sonar tech (a sensor that uses sound waves to measure distance) to measure the distance between the barbell and the ground in real-time with high precision.

“Being able to track your metrics when training particularly with foundational barbell movements is potentially an invaluable tool that previously has only been available in high-tech physiology labs.
Additionally, having the option to have immediate feedback about asymmetrical lifting patterns and bar tilt will literally be a game-changer not only for the athletes but also for the coaches.”

Dr. Joel seedman, phd kinesiology, founder of ahp

We knew that having users pay for the experience would accelerate higher quality data and feedback collection. A friend or family member will usually try to protect your feelings.

In the meantime, we focused on handpicking pro coaches and were listening very closely to their feedback and needs.
