HOW TO DO A PROPER GLUTE BRIDGE

Setup  Lie on your back, side-on to the camera, knees bent, feet flat.

  1. Drive through your heels and lift your hips.
  2. Squeeze your glutes until your body is flat from knees to shoulders.
  3. Lower under control.
Form cue: Squeeze glutes at top

This is the same instruction sheet you’ll find on the ⓘ panel inside the app — with an animated demo next to it.

How The Check Works

THREE STEPS TO A SCORED GLUTE BRIDGE

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 hip angle (shoulder → hip → knee) in real time, entirely on your device. No wearables, no sensors. No equipment — floor space; add a plate on your hips when it gets easy.

3

Move — and watch the form bar

The bar fills as you travel from ~100° toward ~170° at the bottom. Stop short and it tells you; a rep only counts through the full range of motion.

Under The Hood

WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES

Fix These First

COMMON GLUTE BRIDGE MISTAKES

Arching instead of extending

If your lower back finishes the lift, your glutes never got the message. Ribs down, tuck slightly, and squeeze your glutes to raise your hips.

Feet too far away

Heels way out front recruit hamstrings over glutes. Plant heels close enough that fingertips can graze them.

Pushing through toes

Drive through your heels — you should be able to wiggle your toes at the top.

No pause at the top

The bridge is the destination, not a drive-through. Hold the squeeze for a full beat every rep.

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 for glute bridges?

No — floor space and your phone propped side-on. When bodyweight gets easy, rest a plate or dumbbell on your hips and log it.

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.
