About Us
It started at a gym in Bangkok.
My cofounder and I were pumping iron, and he started tracking his workouts on a notepad app.
At first it was great, seeing our week over week progress, and it felt like we finally had our shit together.
Until…
Week 3 rolled around. We're about to hit some incline dumbbells, and I ask, "What did we do last week?"
Then he starts fumbling through his notes app, and after a few painful minutes, he finally looks up at me and says, "Bro, I have no clue…"
Confused, I take a look at his notes app, only to find a long text document that looked more like a calculus problem than a workout tracker.
That's when it hit me…
This sucks.
We need to find a better way to track our workouts.
So the search began. We started downloading all the workout apps.
But to our disappointment, most of the apps sucked.
Either they were a pain in the ass to use, or they were just trying to sell us stupid workout programs we didn't need.
We didn't need all that garbage, we just wanted to log our workouts.
In frustration, we said "fuck this" and just went back to the stupid notepad.
The Creation of Max AI
Several months passed by, and I had all but given up on tracking.
Until I look in the mirror one day and realize that I've been plateauing.
I showed up every single week, but I wasn't seeing significant improvement.
That's when I decided I needed to get back to tracking.
And if all the apps out there suck, then we're just going to make one ourselves.
So we built Max AI.
With one simple goal in mind: cut out all of the BS and make tracking as simple as possible.
The fewer clicks the better.
We mapped out exactly what we wanted:
- Take a photo of the machine instead of searching through exercise lists.
- The app remembers your last logged weight and fills it in automatically
- You get a visual history of your progress instead of a wall of numbers.
Six months later, we built our perfect workout tracker.
An app that makes tracking progressive overload stupidly easy.
