System and Method for Providing Real-Time Feedback Related to Fitness Training

A method comprising:

• steps of executing on a device with a CPU, digital instructions stored on a computer-readable media, wherein the device comprises at least one of, a smart phone, a tablet, a personal computer, and a smart television;
• steps of executing an application software that is configured to provide real-time virtual fitness services;
• steps of analyzing an expert training video, extracting reference data from the expert training video, and storing the reference data to a master database;
• steps of loading a selected profile from the master database, wherein the selected profile comprises at least one of name, email, date of birth, gender, and medical information;
• steps of communicating with a plurality of sensors placed on predetermined landmarks of a user's body;
• steps of loading a selected workout, exercise or activity to perform after the plurality of sensors is calibrated;
• steps of retrieving a reference data for the selected workout, exercise or activity, wherein said reference data comprises a pose estimation from an expert training video;
• steps of recording user's movement based on data received from the plurality of sensors;
• steps of rendering the user's movements on the GUI screen;
• steps of comparing values collected from the plurality of sensors recording step with the retrieved reference data;
• and
• steps of providing a user feedback based on the comparing step.
