About Altis

Altis Movement Technologies, founded in 2019 by Jeff Halevy, Constantine Goltsev, and Igor Magazinik, developed an artificial intelligence-based personal training system. Halevy, a fitness industry veteran with experience including a correspondent role on NBC's Today Show, teamed up with Goltsev, an expert in AI and machine learning, to create a solution that makes expert-level personal training more accessible. The company's core offering is a console, similar in size to a soundbar, that connects to any screen via HDMI. This device operates as a B2C educational and training service.

The system utilizes a proprietary "Movement OS" to deliver hyper-personalized and interactive workouts. Using advanced computer vision and deep learning models, the technology, branded as Body GPS™, can track the user's entire body with centimeter-level accuracy without the need for sensors or special clothing. This allows the system to provide real-time feedback on exercise form, displaying an on-screen avatar to help users make corrections. The AI, called Cerebrus™, was trained on millions of data points from physical therapy doctors and professional coaches to create customized workout programs based on an individual's goals and physical abilities. The platform dynamically adjusts workouts in real-time by monitoring performance and detecting fatigue through metrics like joint velocity.

Altis caters to both individual consumers for at-home use and commercial clients. The business model involves the sale of the hardware device and likely a subscription for access to the AI-powered training platform. The company secured partnerships with major brands like LA Fitness, Life Time Fitness, and Hyatt Hotels to deploy its technology in their facilities. Altis raised a total of $12.5 million in funding over several seed rounds, with investors including PentaLab, former Epic Games head Mike Capps, and US Olympians. In August 2023, Altis Movement Technologies was acquired by Academy Medtech Ventures, which purchased its human motion capture assets.
