Set up your smartphone on the floor and get moving with an app that creates a short routine for your body, analyzes your moves and gives feedback.
Get moving!
That’s what health experts tell those of us who sit (or even stand) at a desk every workday, like I do.
Fine, you may say. But unless I hire a personal trainer, how can I know what movement routine is best for my specific body? How do I get expert feedback? How do I fit this into my schedule?
These are the questions Sency seeks to answer with its “Movement-OS” (operating system) approach to fitness and physical rehabilitation.
Half a million people in 188 countries are using Sency’s apps, and the Israeli company recently become the official mobility partner for the USA weightlifting team.
Using computer vision, Sency guides new users through a brief assessment and creates a short, customized daily exercise routine to do whenever it’s convenient, without any equipment other than your mobile device.
Sency cofounders Gal Rotman, Neta Osman and Ofer Goldstein, all 34-year-old former officers of the IDF’s Maglan special forces unit, have no intention of replacing trainers or physical therapists.
“We are partnering with athletes, trainers, PTs and doctors, taking their insights into our platform to build a tool that enhances their capabilities,” Rotman explains.
