This app demonstrates how to build an app that utilizes Wearable sensors using the IBM Wearables SDK combined with IBM Bluemix services. It helps Gym trainees by detecting various exercises they perform and counting the number of repetitions. An Android Wear device is used to sense movements and an Android Mobile Phone is used to interpret the data, recognize the movements and display repetiotions count to the trainee. A web-based Dashboard is available for the Coach, showing trainees' performance and allowing to send feedback to the trainee using push notifications.

- Mobile Client Access Service - used for fast and easy login using a Facebook (or other) account.
- Cloudant NoSQL DB Service - used for secured data storage on the phone and synchronizing it to the cloud.
- Push Notifications Service - used for sending user-specific notifications from the dashboard.
