Problem
Gym members and trainers often rely on manual logging of workouts, which can be inaccurate, time‑consuming, and lacks real‑time feedback on effort and form. This limits the ability to track progress reliably and to engage members in data‑driven fitness communities.
Solution
UNIT Fitness offers a retrofit sensor system that attaches to existing gym equipment to automatically capture repetitions, weight, effort, and form for each exercise. The collected data syncs instantly to a mobile app, where users can view verified workout metrics, share achievements, and join community challenges. By providing Strava‑level tracking without requiring new hardware, the platform transforms ordinary gyms into socially engaging, data‑driven fitness spaces that motivate members through transparent performance records and competitive features.
