Where Zing Coach is better
We make MyRepsCount, so here is the part most comparison pages leave out.
- Technique feedback from the camera. MyRepsCount counts reps but doesn't score your form.
- A daily plan that adapts to your mood, energy, and progress.
- Les Mills programs and an optional body-composition scan.
- An Apple Watch app and Apple Health integration.
How MyRepsCount counts your reps
-
Prop your phone up. Floor, shelf, or against a water bottle, with your whole body in frame. -
Train hands-free. The camera tracks your movement on the phone and counts each full rep. No video is recorded or uploaded. - Or log it by hand. Anything the camera can't count goes in the manual log, with weights, rep ranges, and supersets.
