Smart Home Gym Features An AI Coach that Monitors Your Workouts

For many, daily workouts guided by a personal trainer are an unaffordable luxury. However, the Aeke K1 system offers an AI-coach-assisted workout experience for a one-time cost of just under $2,000.

Now featured on Kickstarter, the K1 boasts a 43-inch vertical 4K touchscreen with built-in surround sound. This screen connects to an electronic base module, which links to a foldable floor platform, creating a seamless workout setup.

Versatile Accessories and Adjustable Resistance

The system comes with a barbell and hand stirrups, both connected via cables to a 750W motor in the base unit. This motor delivers adjustable resistance up to 220 lbs (100 kg) in precise increments of 1 lb (0.5 kg). Additional accessories include a heart-rate-monitoring armband and an ankle belt for tracking lower-body movement.

Advanced Fitness Assessment with Integrated Sensors

The K1 begins with a comprehensive fitness assessment, using an integrated depth-sensing camera, an 8-electrode body fat scale, and other sensors to evaluate cardiovascular endurance, movement patterns, muscle strength, posture, flexibility, and body composition.

Based on this data and personal details like fitness goals, the K1’s AI algorithms create a customized workout plan. Trained by human fitness experts, the AI utilizes over 140 classes—including pilates, cardio boxing, weightlifting, and yoga—that incorporate more than 280 unique body movements.

During workouts, the K1 tracks the user’s body position at seven skeletal points, enabling it to count repetitions and provide real-time audio-visual feedback to correct improper form.

After each workout, the K1 provides a detailed performance report, including metrics such as duration, calories burned, repetitions, sets, and targeted training areas. It also tracks progress and highlights areas to focus on in future sessions.

Weighing approximately 77 kg (170 lbs), the machine supports a maximum user weight of 350 kg (772 lbs) and is easily movable thanks to built-in rubber wheels.

If the Aeke K1 goes into production, a pledge of $1,998 will secure a system without requiring a subscription. The expected retail price is $3,699. A demonstration of the system in action is available in the video below.
