I haven’t encountered anything with the physical Pure Plank itself. Wish I could say the same for the app. In order to get credit for the workout, you have to hit the right button in the right order. Simply watching a video will not give you credit. You have to click the play button of the video and then “Start Workout”. It doesn’t progress on its own and you have to select the workout each time you start, even if it’s multiple sets of the same exercise. A checkmark would be nice. Also, when you move to the next exercise using the forward/next button, it will just start playing the first video in the set again. That button is useless. Finally, I had issues with the calendar that logs your workouts. I have to click on the date directly to the right of the actual date I want to see. It doesn’t match where I’m pressing on the screen. Anyway, I’ve been trying to be consistent with the Pure Plank for two weeks now. You don’t need the app to make the most of it, but I wish it were more user friendly especially considering the price of the board.

So Pure Plank app, do you want to be a fitness tracker? Or a tutorial library? As it stands, you can’t be both.The app tracks the time you’re working out by the duration of the tutorial you watch, which is not accurate since the tutorials are under 40 seconds long. Meanwhile, the amount of time it takes you to do your sets/reps/rest could be as much as 90 seconds for the intermediate recommendation. So the app isn’t giving you the appropriate credit. My current setup is using the provided timer and 2 devices - one for playing tutorials, the other displaying the recommended sets/reps/rest. Not ideal.Quick solution: the tracker should keep the timer going even after the video is complete. Once the user completes their sets, they click a “workout complete” button and the timer stops and credits the user. Also, the recommended sets/reps/rest should always be visible during the tutorial and after the video ends, until the user clicks “next video.”Wishlist solution: the user places their device at a distance and the app uses the front facing camera to display your posture superimposed with the tutorial, and the color changes (or audio signal for those that don’t want to watch the screen) based on the accuracy of your posture: Green for perfect posture, yellow for fair posture, red for poor posture. The app guides (and tracks) you through the recommended sets/reps/rest, tallying your total reps and your duration.The Pure Plank board itself is great - sturdy, simple, easy to store, and doesn’t slide around. Hopefully the app becomes just as useful.

Would be helpful in future videos to have a signal that the end of a set is over, instead of just the three beeps when a set starts. It’s hard to watch the video to see where to stop while also doing the exercises. I would also appreciate in future videos to have some text on the screen during the rest time to tell me what the next exercise will be, so I can have time to rotate the board/move the handles/etc

I’ll mirror what other people have said - the app logs your workout time as the length of the tutorial video, despite telling you to do something that takes much longer. If it tells you to do three 20 second sets, but the tutorial video is thirty seconds long? It logs you as working out for thirty seconds. As for the workouts themselves, you get a list of exercises to do and then a prompt to start the workout. But you never get those instructions again, just the above mentioned tutorial videos. Come on guys, this is basic stuff. You should have product tested this, anyone would have called it out. The plank board itself is great and I’m loving using it. The app needs a LOT of work though.
