Hey qwerty456127! We’ve actually had users build models like this in the past due to some respiratory tracking they need to get done in order to do their exercises properly, so they can’t concentrate on counting and therefore, an automated system proved useful for them.
On the other comment, yes! The app you are describing sounds really interesting, and it is something that could be build using image classification, you just need the right images and camera setup, though!

I see. Thank you for explaining. The case you describe didn't come into my mind. Nevertheless I doubt counting is important. Some reps less, some reps more, I believe the feeling you always feel when you've done enough. Or you can set a timer - it's not the number that matters, it's the time you spend under the load anyway.
On the other - the way you do an exercise, small details in your posture and the sequence of changes in it - that's what decides if what you do is going to make you more fit/strong, have no effect or just cause pure harm. It's extremely important (at least, in the beginning) to have somebody qualified to watch how you do it and correct you. Many people prefer to train alone though so they need such an app.
This is next to ridiculous. I don't need an app or any assistance in counting my reps. I can do that myself. That's easy.
What I really dream of an app for is app to tell my mistakes in technique/posture for every particular exercise. I don't even mind putting a funny costume or some motion sensors on to make its job easier.
