Automatically recorded.
LiftSense uses computer vision and on-site AI to capture every rep, set, load and bar path on the gym equipment you already have. No wearables. No manual logging.

The problem
Most lifting goes unrecorded
Logging every set by hand interrupts the workout, so most lifters don’t do it. The tools that exist weren’t built for the barbell.
01
Lifters
Typing sets into an app between reps is tedious. Miscounted reps and forgotten weights mean lost progress.
02
Coaches
No one can watch every rep of every athlete. Load, depth and bar path go unmeasured.
03
Gyms
Wearables track steps, heart rate and sleep, not the barbell. Owners have little insight into their strength floor.
Built for the big lifts
Squat rack first. Bench press next.
We’re starting with the two stations where tracking matters most, and where shared gym conditions are hardest: changing light, plates hidden behind plates, and spotters in the frame.

- Bar-to-chest and lockout

- Spotter-aware tracking
The technology
Camera to coach in under a second
A fixed camera and an on-site edge computer turn each lift into structured training data. Nothing to wear, nothing to type.
01 / CAPTURE
Rack-mounted vision
A camera clamps to the upright, no drilling, and sees the bar, the plates and the lifter without getting in the way of lifting or spotting.

On-site AI
Object detection identifies each plate to calculate load. Pose and motion tracking segment reps, follow the bar path and check depth.

Rack, app, dashboard
The lifter sees the set live at the rack and in their own app. Coaches and gym operators review trends on a dashboard.

Member app
A coach in every pocket
Every lifter who opts in gets their own app, filled automatically from the rack.
Automatic workout history
Every set, rep and weight captured at the rack lands in the lifter’s training log.
Smart suggestions
Which muscle groups to train next, based on what they’ve done and how recently.
Overload alerts
Flags when weight or reps jump too far too fast, to help lifters avoid overtraining.
Member app in development. Suggestions are training guidance, not medical advice.

A camera in a gym has to earn its place
LiftSense is built so members stay in control of their data.
