When I first downloaded the app, I completed a survey explaining what I was hoping to achieve and what I wanted to focus on, so the challenges presented to me include things like Max Pushup Challenge and a 21-day toning program to target legs and glutes. Therefore it’s no surprise that there’s a series of real time challenges incorporated into the mix of workouts offered. One thing that seems pretty integral to the ethos of this app is keeping people accountable, no matter if they’re a fitness rookie or a bona fide pro. In all honesty, I was a little embarrassed when the trainer’s voice acknowledged that I was taking a breather before finishing my last pushup rep at one stage. And honestly, can’t we all tend to slack a little bit when no one is in the room to bark at us? Another major draw of Onyx is that the app will only count down your reps when it sees you performing them. I’ve used my fair share of workout streaming platforms and after a while they can feel pretty unappealing and the workouts quickly feel repetitive and uninspiring. Nonetheless, a bit of a furniture rejig happened and we quickly made up. I guess no one told the trainer how spatially limited New York City apartment bedrooms are. The only thing I found slightly irritating was the amount of times the voice kept telling me to move further away from the camera so she could see me better. Take, for example, when I was panting my way through commandos and shoulder taps - something that always manages to challenge my upper body strength - the instructor gave me helpful pointers such as lowering my hips more to protect my back. The app’s software analyzes your movement and the trainer explains if there’s something you can correct. While you watch the instructor explain and perform the move (think: pushups, planks, lunges, etc.) on the screen, your own image will appear in the upper left hand corner. Similarly, the motivation of a fitness professional is worth its weight in gold when you think you’ve no more energy left to give.Īfter you position your phone on the floor and prop it up against the wall, Onyx utilizes your camera to capture your position. Ego bruising though it may be, it’s for your own good when a trainer corrects your form. While no one usually enjoys getting called out for their shortcomings, there’s one exception to the rule - and that’s in the gym.
