Zero-Between-Set-Decisions AI Barbell Coach for People Who Refuse to Manage Their Own Workout
Lifters who hate every existing app (Strong, Hevy, Boostcamp, Fitbod, Vora) keep saying the same thing: between-set, they don't want to think about weight, RIR, tempo, last week's load, or whether to deload. They want a coach that decides everything based on their gym and goal, the way a human PT does. Closer to Peloton-for-the-rack than a tracker-with-AI-suggestions.
The non-obvious bit is the *audio interface*. The user is supposed to put the phone face down on the rack and hear a voice. Don't ship another tap-tap log screen. Use the iPhone mic to count reps via accelerometer + audio cues, infer RPE from time-to-rerack, and never, ever ask the user to grade a set. Charge $20/month and price like a personal trainer, not like a tracker.

The space is crowded but every existing app still treats the user as an active participant in programming. The Reddit user's specific ask is for the inverse: a podcast-style coach voice that says 'you are doing 4 plates today, 3 sets of 5, that's it, don't think about it'.
