Users will get a personalised experience with high-quality tech and human touch, and will be able to achieve their fitness goals from the comfort of their home without spending on expensive hardware,” said Mukesh Bansal, c-founder of Cure.fit.
Onyx specialises in body tracking technology and personalisation of workout feedback. It provides highly accurate rep counts, form correction, and detailed performance tracking. Onyx is also one of the highest-rated apps in the fitness domain, which recently featured as “App of the Day” on the Apple app store and has seen rapid user growth over the course of the last year.
