Co-founder Anurag Mundhada said, “Mainstream fitness formats can become drab and don’t challenge or inspire people enough to really build a long-term habit of fitness. Our unique gamified workout format keeps users highly engaged and motivated to give their best during every session, allows them to monitor their progress, and keeps them committed to their fitness goals.”
The company noted a 50% increase in downloads after the COVID-19 pandemic as all the gyms and fitness centers are closed. The company’s platform integrates fitness and gaming services using machine learning and artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and computer vision to provide an immersive experience to the users.
The application tracks the user’s sleep routine, nutrition intake, mental health, and physical fitness to give exercise suggestions.
Shubham Sandeep of pi Ventures said, “Digital health and fitness has seen a rising demand amidst the pandemic and is already a multi-billion dollar industry. However, the at-home fitness experience is lacking, which is waiting to be disrupted by technological advances such as artificial intelligence, aurgmented reality, and computer vision.”
He further added that they have complete faith in Insane AI for developing solutions to reimagine the fitness industry.
