If you have ever watched a group of CrossFitters on the rower, whether they are at CrossFit Games or in your local affiliate, you will likely see a wide variety of “technique” on the erg. Unfortunately, many athletes lose power and exert too much energy during a WOD with a row.
That is where WODProof’s new Bionic AI Rowing Coach comes in. Using advanced computer vision, the Rowing Coach analyzes your rowing stroke and provides immediate corrective cues in real-time.
With the WODProof app open with the camera facing you from the side, an initial assessment is made in just 25 strokes. The Rowing Coach will then provide an easy-to-read dashboard showing what areas you need improvement. Did you bend your arms too early? Are you leaning back to far?
After that, three levels of rowing tests are available (beginner, advanced and expert). On top of that, there are various technique sessions to work on specific skills and movements to fix your faults.
Check out the 3-minute preview of the Bionic AI Rowing Coach below.
Below is a quick example of CrossFit Games athlete Thuri Helgadottir using the app and getting real-time feedback.
