How TruRep works

The training top that checks every rep

Muscle sensors (EMG) show which muscles are doing the work. Motion sensors (IMU) show how you're moving. Together they tell you what went wrong and how to fix it, and every session is saved for you and your coach.

Sense: EMG reads each muscle while the IMU tracks your arms and counts every rep.

Tuck your elbows in to 45–60° and keep your shoulders down.

What it watches for

It tells you what went wrong, and how to fix it

EMG shows which muscles are working. The IMU shows how you're moving. Put together, they explain the mistake, not just that there was one.

EMG + IMU

The wrong muscle takes over

On bench, shoulders doing the chest's work while the elbows flare: tuck your elbows in.

LEFT / RIGHT

One side does more

One side starts carrying the load as you tire.

IMU

Range and tempo slip

Reps get rushed or cut short, like a press that stops before lockout.

CONTACT

A sensor loses contact

You're told to adjust the top, so a bad reading never counts as a bad rep.

SESSIONS

Every session tracked

Sets, reps and flags are saved, and you see your week at a glance.

COACH

Your coach sees it too

Sessions reach your coach, so the next check-in starts from what happened.

A session

One session, four steps

STEP 1

Fit and calibrate

The coach fits the top, checks every sensor has good contact, and records a short reference contraction for each muscle.

STEP 2

Train as normal

Every set records muscle activity and motion: reps, tempo and range.

STEP 3

Review the set

Results reach the coach's phone over Bluetooth within about 5 seconds of the last rep.

STEP 4

Track progress

Compare sessions over weeks and show clients the changes they can't feel yet.

Roadmap

Where we are

Six phases, each with a test it has to pass before the next begins. Timings are indicative.

  1. NowMonths 0–2

    Sensor trials

    Textile sensors tested against lab equipment.

  2. Months 2–4

    Feasibility

    Electronics designed and specified.

  3. Months 4–8

    Prototype

    First electronics built and bench-tested.

  4. Months 7–12

    Garment

    Electronics built into the top, tested on real lifts.

  5. Months 12–15

    Coach pilot

    Coaches use it with clients in normal training.

  6. Months 15–21

    Production

    Certification, pilot build and launch.

Coach pilot

Help shape TruRep

We're planning a pilot with strength coaches and their clients. Pilot coaches get early access and a direct say in what the top and app do.
