Rep Up is an assistant for your gym workouts. It helps you focus on the movement that you are performing, and the muscles that you are trying to engage. It helps you create that mind muscle connection by removing the need to count your reps. It's simple and easy to use. Set your goal rep and start your workout, it taps you when It's time to stop. Alternatively, you can set it to tap you every five reps so you don't need to interact with your device at all till your workout is done. It detects when you've stopped and automatically resets the rep count. Since it's designed to tap you can use it in the gym even when there's loud music. It counts any exercise with prominent hand movements such as squats, deadlifts, rows, shoulder press, bench press, etc. and even most movements where your hand is stationary, like push-ups, pull-ups, leg raises etc. Rep Up is designed for Apple Watch, taking advantage of features like Workout Tracking, Taptic Engine and a powerful processor allowed us to build a truly meaningful experience. You can use Rep Up with iPhone as well but you'll need an armband.

When you work out alone, it's easy to stop early. Hypeman won't let you. Prop your phone up and pick your spotter. Using just the camera, a fully voiced character counts your reps out loud and pushes you to the last one — driving you through the grind and going wild on your final rep. Counting your squats, push-ups and pull-ups is how it knows when to push you: automatic, hands-free, no wearables, no tapping. WHAT YOU GET • A voice in your corner, not a soundboard — your spotter reacts to YOUR set: calls each rep, drives you through the grind, ramps up for the finish, and yells you back when you step out of frame. • Pick your spotter — Coach Candela brings flirty Colombian fire, Mika Chan is your anime senpai cheer squad, Sarge Jhonson accepts no excuses. New characters keep coming. • Never work out alone — set a target (5, 10, 15, 20 or freestyle) and push to the last rep with someone counting you down. • Reps counted for you — on-device pose detection sees each rep happen. No wearables, no tapping, no counting in your head. • Auto exercise detection — just start moving; squats, push-ups and pull-ups are recognized within a couple of reps. • Made to share — every set records with the count and the skeleton overlay baked in. The funniest ones end up in the group chat. • Track progress — history and personal bests, stored on your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pose detection runs entirely on your device. Your camera feed is never uploaded, and your videos stay on your phone unless you choose to share them. No account needed. No wearables. No tapping. Just you, your phone, and a spotter that won't let you quit. Prop it up. Press start. Push.
