Our Mission
Creating a healthier future with AI personal trainers for everyone
The Beginning
We're three friends from Virginia Tech who were beginners in fitness, looking for anything affordable to help us get started. When we couldn't find anything good, we created a rep-counting app to track our progress. We went to Virginia Beach for feedback and met some amazing people!
After talking with the fitness community, we realized that other people had this issue - there wasn't an app that actually helped guide them through their workout. There are so many AI trainer apps that provide workouts, but none of them checked your form. Here are three crucial pillars that would really help the fitness community:
After talking with the fitness community, we realized that other people had this issue - there wasn't an app that actually helped guide them through their workout. There are so many AI trainer apps that provide workouts, but none of them checked your form. Here are three crucial pillars that would really help the fitness community:
- Proper Form: Without proper form, people will continue to use improper techniques until someone points it out. Whether you're an athlete or a fitness beginner, maintaining proper form is always ideal. The only solutions are to record yourself, look in a mirror, or have someone else observe you. But can you conveniently do that every time you work out? Firefly makes it easy - just open the app and check your form anytime, any day, for as long as you need.
- Motivation: Having a goal isn't sufficient for most. Instead of spending hours on research and watching tutorials for every exercise, Firefly generates your own workout for the day. Or, do custom workouts with your buddies. Make and share 100 push ups with one another! Plus, your trainer will track all your reps and rewards over time.
- Accountability: You can be given any routine or workout, but what's stopping you from pressing that 'complete' button without actually doing it? With Firefly, you’ll need to physically complete your workout in front of the camera to track your stats. Firefly not only provides you with a workout but ensures you perform it for the stats to count. It will also keep motivating you with notifications and streaks to help you consistently reach your goals (Coming soon)
