How to start a AI Video Diagnosis of Your Movement Pattern business: plan and growth

One person can't do a lunge in any variation after a hundred tutorials; another hasn't activated their left glute in Bulgarian split squats for a year. Generic tutorials don't fix their case.

A business built on a complaint people already posted in public.No. 034

An owner can start “AI Video Diagnosis of Your Movement Pattern” from a complaint people already posted. The offer, in one line: Upload a clip of your lunge or split squat and get told which compensation your body makes, plus targeted fixes. It is for gym-goers and people who train at home. Charge a subscription, and test a price between $10 and $49 a month. Begin in more than one country. Buyers already talk about this in r/xxfitness. One thread gathered 60 votes and 84 replies across Sep 14, 2026 – Oct 14, 2026. Use that room to meet the first twenty buyers. Do not export it, and do not republish the posts. The idea, the evidence, and the market estimate on this page are free to read. Two paid prompts finish the job: one drafts the offer, the price, and a ninety-day calendar; the other drafts a month of conversations and proof. One credit unlocks both. A software specification is not on this site. When the company is the product itself, a single link further down opens the founder library.

Unable to do lunges. At all

Who would pay

Gym-goers and people who train at home. Start in more than one country, and charge a subscription, testing a price between $10 and $49 a month.

The thread above is the public complaint this business can learn from. Verbatim quotes are not invented. Further sources, when a later report adds them, stay with the evidence.

The offer, in our words

An app where users upload video of a movement and AI pinpoints the asymmetry or compensation in their body, with targeted corrective exercises.

Score 3.10, Warm. Pain, willingness to pay, demand, and the gap in current options drive it. We are not scoring how fast you can code.

Market size

An estimate, built from the bottom up: real customer counts × a realistic price. It shows the size of the prize, not a forecast.

TAM Total addressable

$924M a year

7.7M members · 10% of US gym and studio members

SAM Serviceable

$180M a year

1.5M members · app-store reach in the US

SOM Obtainable in 3 years

$1.8M a year

15,000 members · 1% of the reachable segment in three years

What that means

15,000 members at $10/mo = $1.8M ARR

Medium confidence · estimated Oct 2026

How we estimated this
  1. Base: 77,000,000 US gym and studio members.
  2. Has the problem: 10% (assume 10% want form feedback).
  3. Revenue per member: $120 per year ($10/mo).
  4. Reachable: 20% (app-store reach in the US).
  5. Three-year capture: 1% of the reachable segment.

TAM is customers with the problem × revenue per customer. SAM is the part a new business can reach. SOM is a cautious three-year share of SAM. The bars use a log scale. A share marked “assume” is our judgment, not a measurement.

Questions

How much money do I need to start?

Enough to talk to buyers and deliver the offer once. A service version can start with a written process and a way to take payment. A software version is a larger bet and is not required to test the price. The band to test is $10–49 a month.

How should I price it?

Test a price between $10 and $49 a month, charged as a subscription. Raise it after three paid pilots, not before the first conversation.

Where do the first customers come from?

r/xxfitness is the clue. A related thread gathered 60 votes and 84 replies. Show up there, follow the room's rules, and ask for conversations. Do not scrape it.

Do I need to write code?

No. The prompts on this page draft a plan and a month of growth. Code is a later choice. The founder site linked once below is where the build document lives, if you want it.

When the business is the software itself, the specification lives on the founder site. Have this built

A two-week build starts at $10,000 on that site, after a $1,000 scoping fee.
