The is kinda like that annoying gym trainer who kicks your butt every day. Onyx is watching — and it’s not afraid to call you out when you’re dogging it.
With just your smartphone camera, Onyx keeps an eye on you while you do your workout. It counts your reps. It corrects your form. It tracks your progress on nearly any exercise and it even provides audio workouts personalized to your performance in real-time.
So it’s a cross between surveillance tech and that meathead at the gym that likes to throw around kettlebells?
