Novi: AI Fitness App

NOTE: I used Siri to dictate this so please excuse any typos. I found Novi because I work out both at the gym and at home and was looking for a way to create a more customized routine and expand the exercises I’m doing. I’ve been going to the gym for years, but realized I’ve never really had much of a system. one thing I can say right away is that I love how customized Novi is. It built the program around your experience level, training, goals, available equipment, how much time you have, etc. Setting up my custom plan probably took a minute or less which I really appreciated. Perhaps even more importantly, it asks if you have any injuries and let’s explain specifically what’s going on. I recently injured my leg so I was able to get the details about the injury. I was curious how much that would actually affect my workout so I asked the built-in AI coach. I was pleasantly surprised by how specifically adapted the workout to avoid putting unnecessary stress on the injured area while still allowing me to train. The workouts themselves are also really easy to follow. The app shows you movements you need to do along with the instructions and tips, and if you don’t want to do a particular exercise, you can swap it out for another option with a single tap. You can also adjust the workout based on the equipment you have available or how much time you have that day. The AI coach is probably what makes Novi stand out the most for me. so far you can talk to it with your voice or message like a text conversation at any point during your workout that takes it beyond other workouts I’ve used because I can ask very specific questions about my workout instead of buying a generic routine Another small feature I really appreciate is the built-in Spotify workout playlist there are different mixes for circuit training, strength, cardio, recovery, and high intensity workouts. I tend to spend time messing around trying to find music that fits whatever I’m doing so having that ready to cover move one more thing, I can get in the way of actually starting I’ve only been using Novi for a few days but so far I’m really impressed! It feels like an easy way to give my workouts more structure, track my progress expand the exercise exercises. I’m doing both at home and at the gym and have some thing resembling a personal Coach available whenever I need one. Definitely looking forward to seeing how I worked out involved as I keep using it.

The app walks me through the whole workout, pretty straightforward. I really like the exercise movement demonstrations to help dial in form.
