Beastie Get Beastie
Set up in 10 seconds

Set up your phone

Beastie only counts what the camera can see. Put the phone in the right spot and every clean rep goes on the board — then go beat somebody.

Got a zero?

Nothing counted? Check these three things

  1. The phone is standing up. Upright on the floor, against a shoe — not lying back, not tipping forward. This is the most common reason nothing counts.
  2. The right parts are in view. Push-ups: head, shoulders and hands. Squats: head to feet. Jumping jacks: room for wide arms. Not always your whole body.
  3. Full, steady reps. Only full, steady reps count. A half rep or a bounce is refused, and Beastie tells you which.

Still stuck? Find your exercise below.

Push-up fixes

  • Hands or elbows cut off? Keep your hands and elbows in the picture — set the phone a little further in front of you.

Quick fixes

Tilt

The phone is leaning wrong

Lying back too far: Stand the phone up more — lean it against a shoe or a bottle.

Tipping forward: Tip the phone back a little.

Light

It can’t see you clearly

Light in front of you, not a bright window behind.

Clothes

Baggy hides your joints

Fitted clothes, so it sees elbows and knees.

Steady reps

Pause at the bottom

Only full, steady reps count. On push-ups and squats, a rep that bounces straight back up doesn’t — pause for a beat at the bottom.

All counting happens on your phone. Video is never uploaded or stored. Beastie is a general fitness product, not medical advice — stop if anything hurts.

Your move
