Lunge Rep Counter

Stop counting in your head. Point your phone at yourself and every full-range lunge counts itself — sets, reps, and PRs logged automatically while you train your quads and glutes, with hamstrings and calves assisting. Free, in your browser, no account needed.

HOW TO DO A PROPER LUNGE

Setup  Turn side-on to the camera, feet hip-width, hands at your sides or on your hips.

  1. Step one foot forward and lower until both knees are ~90°.
  2. Keep your front knee over your ankle and your torso upright.
  3. Push back to standing and alternate legs.

How The Counting Works

HANDS-FREE IN THREE STEPS

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Set your phone at roughly torso height and set up side-on to the camera. The built-in camera test confirms your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start.

2

The AI locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GoodReps measures your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) in real time, entirely on your device. No wearables, no clickers. Bodyweight to start; hold dumbbells when it gets easy — log them, track PRs.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~100°) and re-arms when you return toward ~160°. Half reps don’t count, and after 3 clean reps it calibrates to your personal range of motion.

Under The Hood

WHAT MAKES A REP COUNT

Form Still Matters

COMMON LUNGE MISTAKES

Steps too short

A cramped stance forces your knee past your toes and steals depth. Step long enough that both knees can reach roughly 90°.

Torso pitching forward

Leaning over your front leg turns a leg exercise into a balance rescue. Ribs stacked over hips, eyes forward.

Back knee never drops

The rep isn't the step — it's the descent. Lower the back knee toward the floor under control before driving up.

Pushing off the toes

The drive comes from the front heel. Press the floor away through it and your glutes take over from your knees.

Your Data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting runs entirely on your device — your camera feed is never uploaded.

Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Do I need any equipment to count lunges?

No — bodyweight lunges work out of the box. Add dumbbells at your sides when you're ready and log the weight for PR tracking.

Does it work in a home gym or low light?

Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start. If a rep still slips through, manual counting is always one tap away.

Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?

No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
