Why Gymi?
Gymi was born as the idea of building a real sports tracking wearable device which:
- allows you to track your workout routine, without being intrusive.
- doesn't require you to sync every single day to see your stats.
- it doesn't ask you to pull your phone out to register your progress.
So the principal goal is wear it, tap start and you are ready to go.
What is on a Gymi?
Gymi currently has 4 main components:
- Multiple Sensors on abs and arms which allows you to measure your reps, time and sets you have performed on your routine.
- A heart rate monitor sensor that allows you to track when you're at your best performance point, to increase your endurance and muscle and reduce the possibilities of injury.
- Real time displays, that show on your arm, the current rep & set you are up to and how many more to go. This makes it easier to reach your goals
- The Gymi Brain: the core which counts, measures and transfers the information to your phone, enabled with a micro controller with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication, to seamlessly sync with your smartphone (IOS at this time, but Android is coming too).

We have an app too
Our app was designed to be very user friendly, ensuring there is no learning time needed, for you to use it. However, we still wanted it powerful enough, so you have all the vital information. This allows you to clearly see your progress and know how to improve.

Why we need your help?
We are looking to raise funds for the following short term objectives:
How long we been working on it?
The team have been working on this since November 2013 when we first commenced sketches, design and our test prototypes.
Who we are?
We are two entrepreneurs Debbie Roberts (Australian) and Pedro Barrera (Mexican) and a group of advisors on the Fashion, Fitness, Health and Electronics. We have a proven track of success on previous ventures, and with experience working with Fortune 500 companies and even YC companies.
We might look like oldies, but we are passionate about building products that improve lifestyles and save time and effort.
What are the biggest challenges we can face?
We list the challenges that we need to sort on the next months if this campaign is successful:
- Reduce the size of our Gymi Brain ensure we can add more features to it.
- Make sure we can achieve at least the scenario of 3 days without recharging. Battery is important for us the lighter and lasting the comfortable and better it will take the product.
- As you might know this kind of projects always face 3rd party delays but we are dedicated to do our best to stay on track to the dates and times, so as not to disappoint.
And we have an SDK now

We are happy to announce that we are gonna release Gymi SDK to IOSplatform.
The main goal is to let your imagination work on how you can reward yourself after performing certain routine or achieve a goal.
Imagine that you can connect your Gymi (shirt or pants) to any device in the world and perform certain cool actions as rewards:
- Let you navigate on FB only if you have done 50 pushups?.
- Your coffee machine will start to make coffee as soon as you walk 5km.
The possibilities are endless and is all up to you.
Get your Gymi shirt or pants on any package and get access before anyone else to the new platform of workout improvement.
