-Workers cannot dedicate appropriate time during the day to travel to dedicated exercise places. This results in people either not exercising, or attempting to exercise in an office/home environment. Unfortunately, it is difficult to analyze the form of their exercises without incurring the significant cost of a personal trainer or the discomfort of smart sensors on their person. Not performing exercises correctly could lead to improper muscle strain or other personal injury.

-Our solution is a device-free personalized fitness assistant that analyzes the channel state information of existing !WiFi infrastructure. Our system detects four exercises (push-ups, squats, sit-ups/crunches, and curls) and analyzes several factors to assess workout quality and provide a workout review to improve an individual's exercises.
+Workers cannot dedicate appropriate time during the day to travel to dedicated exercises places, resulting in a population that either does not exercise, or attempts to exercise at home. Unfortunately, those who work out at home have difficulty analyzing their exercise form, which could result in harmful muscle strain or other personal injury. Personalized trainers, while possibly effective, run a significant cost. Fit-bits cannot measure exercise form, only heart rate and select other thinks. Smart sensor suites are expensive and have to be attached to a body to be effective, which is uncomfortable, unnatural, and may impede exercise form. Our solution is a device-free personalized fitness assistant that analyzes the channel state information of existing !WiFi infrastructure. Our system detects four common exercises (push-ups, squats, sit-ups/crunches, and curls) and analyzes several factors to assess the workout quality for the user.
