And this what happens when you bring a Computer Scientist into the gym! One question: how well would a neural network recognize a more complex and involved exercise like Kettlebell Turkish Getup compared to an exercise with simple movement like Push-ups?

Ah, now I understand why it took so long for someone to do this! ;)

That's a good question! Turkish Getup's are very complex like you say. Given my current setup and window length, it's unlikely that it'll recognise them, because one rep is very long. Maybe if I did exercise based window lengths it could work better? I'm honestly not sure. But that is something to try out!

To be honest, a human seeing it for the first time would have a hard time identifying Turkish Getups too :)

Also, identifying good form--that's an app that could help a lot of amateur athletes.
