HOW TO HOLD A PROPER WALL SIT

Setup  Sit against a wall, side-on to the camera, thighs parallel to the floor.

  1. Slide down until your knees are at 90°, back flat on the wall.
  2. Hold — keep your weight in your heels.
  3. Breathe steadily until the timer ends.
Form cue: Back flat against wall

How The Check Works

THREE STEPS TO A SCORED HOLD

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Phone at roughly torso height, set up side-on to the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.

2

The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GOODREPS measures your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) against the pose target (~160°) on-device — no wearables. A clear wall and enough space to slide down into a seated angle.

3

Settle in — the timer only counts real alignment

The hold timer runs while you’re in the pose. Drift out and it pauses (doesn’t reset) until you find the shape again.

Under The Hood

WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES

Fix These First

COMMON WALL SIT MISTAKES

Sitting too high

If thighs are nowhere near parallel, you are resting. Slide lower until the camera agrees.

Pushing through the toes

Weight in the heels keeps knees happier and the sit honest.

Arching off the wall

Ribs and low back stay glued to the wall. If you peel off, reset.

Holding your breath

Breathe steady. A wall sit is an isometric — oxygen still matters.

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 gear for wall sit?

Usually just floor space (and whatever the hold requires — bar, wall, or bench). Your phone camera does the coaching.

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.
