Hello everyone, welcome to my project.
Below is the video for my analysis of the Chinese fitness app “Keep”.
After watching the video, please consider the following questions: With the advancement of mobile technology, can fitness app replace traditional gym and personal trainers? Do you prefer training with an AI personal trainer with a smart fitness mirror? Or training with a real person? Why?
Thank you.
Your excellent presentation start with a question Kangjian, would you prefer an AI workout partner?
I say no, there is something to the social aspect of a “workout buddy”. In watching it I realized that the running portion solved this by making that part social. That’s great!
That being said, this whole video was like watching a flashback of my entire Kinesiology undergrad degree. Everything looks accurate including the criticism of the app when it comes to body fat% (but hey, nobody has really found a golden-rule on that one).
Great job!
Hi Mitchell, thank you for enjoying watching my video and answering my question. The Keep app has some features to help users create a social connection, but users are trained with either an AI or sample videos most of the time. I agree that “workout buddy” is an important reason for social interaction, and AI cannot provide the same training experiences and engagement. Thank you for your response.
