    Ever thought: “I work out at home, but how do I know if my form is right without hiring a trainer?”

    That’s a real struggle for home fitness fans. You want guidance, but you don’t have a coach standing next to you.

    Good news: with today’s no-code tools, you can actually build your own AI-powered fitness coach — one that checks your posture, evaluates your plank form, and gives structured feedback automatically. No coding, no hassle — and yes, it can be done in under an hour.

    What We’re Building

    An AI fitness app that works like a personal coach. To keep it simple, we’ll start with plank form analysis — because planks are one of the most common, effective, and tricky exercises people do at home.

    Why plank?

    • It looks simple, but small mistakes (like sagging hips, raised shoulders, or uneven weight distribution) can reduce effectiveness and even cause strain.

    • It’s a perfect MVP case: clear posture checkpoints, short video inputs, and high value for users who want feedback they can actually apply.

    Here’s what the app does in this first version:

    • Upload a plank video (just a few seconds is enough).

    • Automatically analyze posture across the core, arms, hips, and shoulders.

    • Get structured feedback: an overall score, a body-part breakdown, and personalized tips for improvement.

    Think of it as a personal plank coach you built yourself — and once it works for planks, you can expand the same system to push-ups, yoga poses, or even running form.

    Tools We’re Using

    • Lovable → Builds the front-end interface (fast, pretty, AI-powered)

    • Momen → Handles the logic, AI agents, and backend

    • Vibe Architect → Bridges the two with a ready-to-use prompt

    Why this combo?

    • Lovable is fantastic for front-ends, but for AI agents and data, it usually asks you to wire up Supabase — great if you code, not so fun if you don’t.

    • That’s where Momen comes in. It’s a full-stack visual builder, so you can set up AI agents, databases, and workflows without touching code.

    • Vibe Architect glues them together by turning your Momen AI setup into a plug-and-play prompt for Lovable.

    Step-by-Step: Build Your Plank Coach

    Step 1: Define Your Concept & Prepare Data

    Before you build anything, map out what the app should actually do. In our case, the goal is simple: give users clear, actionable feedback on their plank form.

    • Product Logic Flow (MVP case):

      1. User uploads a short plank video.

      2. The system processes the video and detects body alignment.

      3. The AI compares this posture against a “plank playbook” (proper form + common mistakes).

      4. The AI outputs structured feedback: an overall score, body-part breakdown, and improvement tips.

      5. The front-end (built in Lovable) displays the results in a clean, easy-to-read way.

    • Reference Data: To make this work, collect “plank playbooks” — posture guidelines, examples of good vs. bad form, and correction tips. This ensures your AI agent isn’t just guessing but is anchored in real fitness knowledge.

    • Data Setup in Momen: Momen already includes default tables like accounts and ai_messages. For this app, you just add a couple of simple tables. You can either create them yourself or import them directly in Momen:

      • plank_guidance — proper form guidelines and tips.

      • plank_playbook — common mistakes and how to fix them.

      This structure gives your AI agent a clear knowledge base to draw from when analyzing each video.

    Import tables into Momen database

    Step 2: Build the AI Agent in Momen

    Set up AI agent in Momen visually
    • Database: Use the tables to store exercise knowledge.

    • Agent Config:

      • Input: Video

      • Define Prompt:

        • Role: Professional fitness coach

        • Goal: Detect alignment, spot weaknesses, suggest fixes

        • Context: Pulls from your plank database for accuracy

      • Output: Structured results (e.g., core, arms, hips) with clear tips

    💡 Use debug in the right side of Momen AI to test and tweak until the agent gives solid, specific feedback.

    Step 3: Connect to Lovable with Vibe Architect

    • In Momen, open your AI agent and copy the AI Blueprint (from the top-right menu).

    • Head to Vibe Architect and paste it in. Click “Covert”

    • Go to Lovable, create a new app, paste the generated prompt, and watch Lovable spin up your front-end.

    📌 That’s it — your Momen brain now talks to your Lovable app.

    Key Takeaways

    • You don’t need to be a programmer to build a powerful AI fitness tool.

    • Momen takes care of the backend: agents, data, workflows.

    • Lovable makes the UI fast, intuitive, and polished.

    • Structured outputs keep feedback clear and actionable.

    • You can expand beyond planks — think push-ups, yoga, or even running gait analysis.
