I have been using this app for several weeks and it’s worked wonders for my stamina, strength building, and self awareness. The coach feedback and visual cues are excellent and it’s super fun to use. Planking was my least favorite exercise in my routine as I’ve found it hard to get into correct alignment which lead to more injury. This app has helped me hugely to build my core and feel empowered. It’s a game changer.
This is without a doubt something that has been in high demand and I'm impressed by the functionality and the accuracy of this product. I see a variety of ways for implementation and how this will enhance the user/coach experience. I'll be incorporating with clients immediately.
Howzit,
I’m Zaw, one of the co-founders of Exer. This company and app have been a labor of love since early 2018, when we first started digging into the connected fitness/health space. We were inspired by Peloton and the other connected fitness devices that were/are taking the market by storm. Back in 2018 (pre-covid), what we found were two main problems / questions that most consumers were having with their routines: 1) I don’t know if I’m doing it right and 2) Not working out in a live class or without a leaderboard isn’t as fun or motivating as it could be.
So, we set off to build a platform, starting a year ago, focused on AI on the edge (mobile) to democratize fitness and give anyone that had a smartphone the ability to solve those two problems without having to buy expensive hardware. We also wanted to make sure there was a free option for anyone that wanted to use our apps. Our belief is that you can augment the experience that you get with a coach, personal trainer, physical therapist, etc → but you can’t replace them.
Enter 2020 and COVID-19: now we don’t know how long people will be forced to either stay home or will not feel comfortable going into a gym, studio, or clinic. What we’re launching on Product Hunt today is the first of many apps and solutions we have built for people that want the feeling of working out with a coach but can’t afford one, manage the time to see one, or are stuck at home. I’ll let Sean (co-founder and CTO) and Clint (co-founder and Head Coach) talk more about the how and why, but I’m both super excited and nervous for us to get this one out there. It tests not only how consumers will respond to AI coaches using just their phone...but also how coaches can use digital technologies like Exer to work with their clients even in a fully remote environment. Remember, we’re not trying to replace coaches, but give them even more ways to stay connected to the people they train.
Please try out our first app and let us know what you think please! It’s only available on iOS for now, but we’ll have an Android version out soon.

If you have any questions let us know, and we’d love to hear your feedback 🙂
Cheers,

Hey there,
I’ve learned a lot of lessons over the last 20 years of being a gym owner and coaching both professional and everyday athletes. The most important lesson I’ve learned is that we’re all within a constant state of movement, both physically and mentally.
People are now receiving a higher percentage of sweat sessions ‘online’ than ever before. I’m not sure that’s going to change anytime soon. Personally, I’m very proud of what coaches and the fitness industry as a whole have been able to pivot to quickly in these trying times. However, with this momentous acceleration to digital, things are bound to be left behind. Proper feedback (and fun!), particularly in real-time, is critical for the coach/PT and client relationship. This is where the building blocks for positive results are forged. Empathy, confidence, encouragement, and necessary correction are forms of communication that must accompany every successful session.
A primary differentiator of our platform is that we have made a conscious and intentional effort to work with the health and wellness industry and democratize fitness for many. Providing coaches and
therapists an opportunity to stay connected with their clients, with their own voice, their own private teams, their own private instruction, maintaining that confidence and acting as a useful tool for all involved. This is how real programming works in a coach/PT to client world.
I’m excited for you all to try out Exer’s first app (Perfect Plank) and give us feedback. I’m even more excited to get thousands of coaches around the world onto the platform in the coming months to create better ways to help their clients.
Mahalo,
Coach Clint
