fitness tracker that uses AI to suggest well-rounded workout plans

Confidence
Engagement
Net use signal
Net buy signal

Idea type: Freemium

People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.

Should You Build It?

Build but think about differentiation and monetization.

Your are here

The market for AI-powered fitness trackers is becoming increasingly crowded, with 23 similar products already identified. This indicates a high level of competition but also validates the interest in this area. The engagement level, measured by the average number of comments, is medium, suggesting a decent level of user interaction with existing products. However, there's a notable absence of strong buy or use signals from these similar products; most users are hesitant to pay for these apps. You're entering a freemium market, which means many users are happy with free versions, and convincing them to upgrade will be challenging. Differentiation and a clear monetization strategy are crucial for success. You'll need to demonstrate how your AI provides unique value that warrants a premium subscription, as seen in the criticisms from products, where users question the actual AI improvement over existing workflows.

Recommendations

  1. Begin by identifying the specific user segment that benefits the most from free access to your fitness tracker. This could be beginners, people who are tracking basic stats, or certain age groups. Understanding who loves the free version will help tailor premium features to entice them to convert.
  2. Develop premium features that significantly enhance the experience for those high-value free users. This could include truly personalized workout plans based on AI analysis of their performance and goals, advanced progress tracking, integration with wearables for real-time feedback, or injury prevention recommendations. Consider the need for form analysis in your features, as identified in Dumbbell AI criticism.
  3. Explore charging teams or groups (e.g., corporate wellness programs, sports teams) instead of individual users. Businesses may be more willing to pay for solutions that improve employee health and productivity. Consider integrating features that promote team challenges and social support, as seen in the positive comments for Fit.AI.
  4. Offer personalized help or consulting as part of a premium tier. This could include one-on-one coaching sessions with certified trainers who use the AI data to provide tailored advice. This human element can address the concerns raised about the lack of human touch in fully automated fitness apps.
  5. Implement A/B testing with small user groups to experiment with different pricing models and feature bundles. This will help you optimize your monetization strategy and identify the most appealing offers. For example, some users may want to pay for ad-free experience, while others may not.
  6. Address the feedback from similar products regarding seamless integration with a variety of fitness trackers and equipment (Fit.AI criticism). Supporting more devices will increase your appeal to a wider audience. Prioritize the most popular ones initially.
  7. Consider adding video tutorials for exercises, as requested by users of Workout Tools. This can help users perform exercises correctly and safely, improving their overall experience and reducing the risk of injury. Make sure to include beginner modules too, as suggested by the Dumbbell AI launch.
  8. Provide transparency about how your AI works and the data it collects, as privacy concerns were raised in the Dumbbell AI launch. Clearly communicate your data privacy policies to build trust with your users.

Questions

  1. What specific data points will your AI use to create 'well-rounded' workout plans that differentiate your product from existing fitness apps, and how will you ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of these AI-generated plans in preventing injuries?
  2. Given the freemium nature of the market and the lack of strong 'buy' signals for similar products, what are the key premium features that you believe will be most compelling to users and how will you effectively communicate the value of these features to drive conversions?
  3. Considering the common criticism that AI-powered fitness apps lack a human touch, how will you balance the use of AI with personalized support and guidance to create a more engaging and effective user experience?

Fit.AI - Ultra personalized fitness

11 Sep 2024 Artificial Intelligence Education Health & Fitness

Fit.AI is a next gen fitness app that creates ultra personalized workout plans. You can also use it to workout with your friends, get notified when a friend completes a workout, learn about fitness and more.

Fit.AI's Product Hunt launch garnered positive attention for its personalized AI workout plans, social features, and Apple Health integration. Users are excited about the motivational aspects of competition and friendly notifications. Several users inquired about the 'ultra personalized' features, nutrition/diet options, AI recovery, and seamless syncing of workouts. Suggestions included adding before/after photos. Some users questioned the Apple-only availability, the role of AI versus human touch, and the challenge of maintaining consistency in fitness routines.

The product faces criticism for its Apple-only exclusivity, excluding a significant portion of potential users. Users are concerned about the app's ability to personalize exercises and request integration with more fitness trackers and equipment. There's a demand for goal tracking, progress visualization, video tutorials for exercises and consideration of pain/injury recovery recommendations. Concerns were also raised about the lack of human touch and the need for AI nutrition and wearable integrations and missing days.

I built an AI-powered app that helped me lose 30 lbs and gain muscle

12 Sep 2024 Artificial Intelligence Health & Fitness

Hey everyone, Like many of you, I've been amazed by the latest AI advancements and have integrated AI into my daily life. As a fitness enthusiast, I was searching for an all-in-one tool that could track my nutrition, workouts, and sleep in one place, while providing insights into how these factors correlate with each other. This need led me to create HealthMaxAI. Using the app, I've personally lost over 30 pounds of fat, which has been incredibly motivating. HealthMaxAI has truly transformed my approach to health and fitness, and I believe it can do the same for others. I'm excited to share this tool with you and would love any feedback you might have. Your insights will be invaluable in making HealthMaxAI even better. Thank you in advance for your time and for checking out the app!

Users expressed doubts about the authenticity of the service, requested screenshots and a better explanation on the landing page, and reported an issue with Google Sign-in. One user is excited to try the service but seeks more information on how it works.

Users criticized the product for not being a real place, the landing page lacking screenshots and app usage explanation, and issues with Google Sign-in on the Android app.

Dumbbell AI - An interactive workout you will never forget, powered by AI

05 Dec 2023 Artificial Intelligence Health & Fitness

Dumbbell AI is a motion tracking fitness app brings a new era of working out with just your phone camera. The app is superpowered by AI to enable user to automatically log workouts, automatically count reps/sets. It is an unforgettable workout experience.

Dumbbell AI's Product Hunt launch received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users congratulating the team and expressing excitement to try the AI-powered fitness app. Many highlighted its potential for home training, automated workout routines, and motivating those who struggle with exercise consistency. Some users inquired about the app's data handling, AI tracking methods, and camera requirements. Feature suggestions included form analysis for injury prevention and training modules for beginners. The app's unique approach to fitness, integrating AI and motion tracking, was widely appreciated, with many hoping it could make workouts more enjoyable and effective.

Users have expressed concerns and suggestions regarding the product. A key request is for synchronization with smartwatches and devices to track heart rate effectively. There are also questions about privacy, specifically regarding data streaming. Users are keen to understand the recognition rate's accuracy. To improve workout effectiveness and minimize injury risks, the product should focus on proper posture, muscle appearance, and implement form analysis features.

sviridov

Bringing AI to fitness is actually a cool idea, if you ask me :) I'd like to try it for my own workouts. Congratulations on the launch!

carolmoh

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I think for someone who trains at home or is unable to have access to a trainer this is a great solution. T The AI tracking is much needed as so many people do not lift correctly which can cause injuries or just not be effective. The automated features are also very welcomed - it's hard enough to work out as it is. 😂 Is there plans to have it sync up to smart watches/devices so you can also track other metrics like heart rate?

serednev

Congratulation on the launch, guys! I've seen something similar for skateboard tricks! Dumbbell AI is pretty awesome! That's exactly what I need cuz I am a little overweight but I don't have enough time to go to the gym. Thanks for your product!

annie_chopra

Wow! Very one of a kind! I definitely struggle to count reps especially when working out at home because I get distracted quickly! I wonder if there is an app addition you could integrate which helps people also check their form - like if a push up is being done right? Love the app

prisca1

Wow, what an interesting app. Would definitely try it as I tend to skip my workout days 😅

sharifulsohel

WOW! Great app and idea indeed! Definitely would love to try it out.

joey_tan4

Congratulations on the launch! Just tried working out with your app, loved it!

charlotte_mabel

Congratulations on the launch! Feels like an unique app which seldom or rarely people develop nowadays as mostly focused on SaS or B2B, I LOVE how it caters to everyone and utilizing the AI part is insane. As a fitness enthusiasts, I find this will be very useful as I tend to miss out “some” workout days due to schedule and hope to be consistent after trying out the app!

priya_katiyar

@xavier_jj @danlxy Congratulations on the launch! The trailer and website is pretty self-explanatory and showcases everything the app is offering. I really like the idea of integrating AI with daily exercising. The scheduling feature is nice; it can be really helpful when one wants to skip that leg day.

sitenley

congrats on the launch, will be using for my next workout!

markle_faith

Congrats on the launch! It is a smart idea to utilize AI to provide seamless workout experience. I believe many struggle as well to stay consistently in keeping active. Furthermore, The trailer looks attractive as if dropping a huge surprise and literally entice me to try it out 👍🏻 great job!

sylvia_sheng

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I think for someone who trains at home or is unable to have access to a trainer this is a great solution. lol A story from my side, actually I that kind of person who go to gym 3 days a week. I got a well built body, if you checked my IG before you can see that. However, the covid came, it is like a game changer, I am getting to peak weight of my life, like from 53kg to 66kg. The three gyms I was a member of at the time all went out of business during the epidemic because they weren't doing well. Since then I've been thinking it would be nice to have an AI robot to help me workout. Because for me if the posture isn't done right and the muscles don't look good it's not worth the effort Go Dumbbell AI go！

rohan_singhvi1

Looks super cool @xavier_jj ! Does it also have 'training modules' for beginners starting to work out ? Would really love that feature.

julesfyt

This looks cool! I wonder how it really works. Only one way to find out i guess.

patnishubh

As a fellow gym rat, I love this. Just downloaded the app let's see if I can keep up with y'all haha

Congrats on the launch Xavier! Going to try it after vacation :)

john_mayor_

Congratulations on the launch! The app was fun to use. Everybody try it!

hughes_jackson

This is an amazing tech especially for those of us who kinda lazy when working out this will be very useful,I like the idea too

mike_dee1

Congrats on the launch! I wish there was a fitness app like this during COVID when many of us were working out at home. I don't like hiring a personal trainer for multiple reasons, so an app like this is a good middle ground. Definitely going to check this out.

phobie_john

Very interesting concept which i seldom see or find anywhere on an actual fitness app where they incorporate AI tools to automate the whole workout routine. As a person who always like to do things alone, I prefer to workout alone as it seeks comfort. Can't wait to test it out and review it! Congrats on the launch and great job in making this app a reality to many of us!!

morsei_kim

Good work on the product and the launch. I've supported it! Hope to use the app for someone who is constantly busy and unable to workout consistently, laziness gets the the better of me lol. Great concept as well.

dopamine_eleva

Awesomeeee, nowdays many app incorporating chatgpt into their app but this is the first I’ve seen literally uses motion tracking to count reps for lifting weights and workouts! I will sure give it a try. Great job and congrats on the launch!

zoe_hannah

I tried the app, Thank you for creating such a innovative , creative idea. I am amazed, Congrats to you for your official launch. I can do exercise anytime, anywhere

pertyloom

Nice work, hope your app reaches the target audience , to motivate them just like how I felt on first impression of the app. Can’t wait to try and review it! Congrats!

AI coach for runners using reinforcement learning

10 May 2023 Artificial Intelligence Health & Fitness

I have been experimenting with deep reinforcement learning since watching the DeepMind lecture series on YouTube a while back.I'm also an obsessive runner, so I figured a good first project to build would be an AI coach for runners. What started out small... quickly turned into something big.I've been using it myself for a couple of months and been tweaking it continuously. Feeding it new and improved data sets. I think for most normal runners (beginner -> immediate -> advanced) it works pretty well. It might be completely off if you're an elite runner. But I decided it's good enough to release to the world. So I'm launching it as an app for iPhone and Apple Watch (free for now). Would love to get some feedback from other runners.
