Coaching
Coached by video, written for the kit in front of you.
A rehab-trained coach writes the programmes and records every exercise. The wall screen plays your session, and the app tracks your progress.
About coachingOur mission
To put a great gym within five minutes of everyone.
A big gym needs tens of thousands of people nearby to pay its way. A Smithy site needs about four thousand, so it can go where people actually live.

About SmithyMember and coach apps prototyped
