@vahid_fazel_rezai@ajay_saini_725 I was waiting for this to happen and it happened now. There are tons of apps out there but I didn't see 1 to 1 approach yet.

@ajay_saini_725@csaba_kissi We were motivated to make this largely because we ourselves were dissatisfied with the existing apps! There are plenty of content-based or automated apps, but the touch of a real 1-on-1 coach can make a huge difference and we think this format makes it as accessible and affordable as possible :)

Signed up since this is just what I’ve been looking for over quarantine! If I happen to do any other workouts, is there a way to log them so my trainer will know?

@vivian_huang3 Woohoo glad to hear! Yup, some clients like to keep existing workouts with friends or log things like playing tennis, just message your trainer we can be completely flexible to your specific situation :D

Honestly this looks very cool and super excited to try it out. Will the platform take into account injuries I've had in the past when curating workouts? I've had lower back issues and would like to prevent injuring myself again/strengthening muscles that prevent such injuries in the first place.
@luis_gutierrez Thanks so much we'd love you have you on board :) Our trainers will account for your entire fitness background including previous injuries when designing your workout program. Also, if any exercises ever bother your injuries, you can tell your trainer and they'll make a modification for your future workouts!

Any plans for workouts targeted towards specific sports techniques in the future? Ex: A specific workout to strengthen a weak two handed backhand while playing tennis?

@priyankavachhani1 Yes!! We actually include individual sports motions as a factor (or feature to use ML terms) in our system internally already, and tie explanations about exercises back to your sport when relevant. Which sports do you have in mind?

Excited to give Overfit a try! How do you guys account for my initial skill and experience level when I start out?
@rohan_kodialam It'll be great to have you! After signing up, everyone does an initial planning session over phone call with one of our expert trainers. Your trainer will ask questions to gauge your fitness background and will tailor your workout program accordingly.

Cool! How often would users interact with their human trainers (vs. following the personalized workout regimen on their own)?
@divya_gopinath Great question :) Clients can interact with their trainers as much as they want! Our trainers are constantly available via text to respond to your questions and workout modification requests.
This sounds amazing! Honestly I think the accountability is key here. Apple telling me to complete my rings on Fitness+ will never motivate me like the shame of telling my trainer I didn’t finish my workouts.

@mohamed_abedelmalik I totally agree, I feel like something about having a human trainer helps you take a step back and look at yourself objectively. You can't use excuses that make sense to you but not to someone else :P it also helps to have someone else who knows about all the hard work you've put in to celebrate your success with!
