Most workout apps hand you a generic plan and hope you own the right equipment. NeuroFlex does the opposite: point your camera at your space and it identifies what's actually there, then builds a workout around it. SCAN YOUR SPACE Open the camera on your gym, home setup, garage, hotel gym, or a park. NeuroFlex detects the equipment in frame (dumbbells, barbell, bench, rack, bands and more) and programs around exactly what you have. Nothing but you and the floor? It builds a bodyweight session. Prefer to skip the photo? Add your equipment by hand in seconds. BUILT AROUND YOU Tell NeuroFlex your height, weight, fitness level (Beginner to Athlete), and primary goal: build muscle, build strength, lose weight, improve endurance, or maintain fitness. Have limitations or past injuries? Switch them on and NeuroFlex adapts (lower back, knee, shoulder, wrist, hip and more) plus adjustments like low-impact only, extra mobility, slower tempo, balance and stability, or seated options. It trains around you, not the other way around. YOUR WORKOUT, YOUR WAY ● Plan types: Straight Sets, Supersets, Circuits, HIIT, Pyramids, Drop Sets, EMOM, AMRAP, Tabata and more ● Target anything: full body, push/pull/legs, upper/lower, or a single muscle group ● Dial in each session: duration, sets, rest, warm-up and cool-down, timer sounds ● Schedule 3-4 days a week with automatic rest days TRACK REAL PROGRESS NeuroFlex remembers what you trained, balances your muscle groups over time, and adjusts recommendations. Run a Full Evaluation to benchmark your fitness against reference norms and watch it climb month over month. A COACH IN YOUR POCKET Not sure what an EMOM or a superset is? Ask AI, right inside the app, for guidance, form tips, and answers whenever you need them. WHY NEUROFLEX ● Works anywhere: home, gym, travel, outdoors ● No wearable required ● Adjusts when you miss a week ● Great for getting started, breaking plateaus, or easing back in after time off Start with a scan. Get your first workout in about a minute. NeuroFlex is a fitness tool, not a medical service. Workouts and analyses are AI-generated for general information only and are not medical advice.
