Advanced Exercise Science

The exercise science training featured in our latest NorthStar system operates autonomously. ​This innovation is so significant it inspired the name: Autonomy v2.

Autonomy v2 comes in two editions. Autonomy v2 Pro is designed for professional instructors who possess the expertise to assess rep tempos, TUT values, and entire session structures, including RBS analytics. The second, Autonomy v2 Solo, is designed for individuals training independently with minimal professional guidance. This edition is licensed to fitness centers and VPTs, enabling them to provide high-quality exercise systems to their members. Autonomy v2 Solo empowers individuals to create their own workout programs, tailored to their skill level, whether they are beginners or advanced. The Autonomy v2 Solo edition helps users select the correct fitness pathway and guides them in choosing the appropriate weights, reps, and sets. The Autonomy v2 Solo edition empowers individuals to start training immediately and provides the resources needed to develop professional-grade exercise programs independently. With information that matches the expertise of professional trainers, it's presented in an accessible and user-friendly format. This method simplifies complex exercise concepts, allowing users to design their own effective, scientifically-backed workout routines or utilize the pre-developed exercise sequencing tailored to their specific fitness pathway and skill level.

​An advanced exercise science training system that harnesses the power of proprietary AI algorithms to formulate fitness programs. These programs incorporate optimized exercise sequencing, with each exercise sequence having a caloric expenditure rating of ten based on the metabolic processes of various muscle stimuli. 

​Traditional training regimens often prioritize compound exercises because they engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, which can be effective for building strength and muscle mass. However, the NorthStar System's approach goes beyond just muscle engagement. It uses AI modeling to analyze and sequence exercises specifically to maximize metabolic responses and caloric burn. This means that the sequence, timing, and combination of exercises contribute to boosting the user's metabolic rate more effectively than conventional compound training.

In developing Autonomy v2, we prioritized optimizing caloric expenditure through strategic exercise sequencing, marking a significant shift from traditional training methods that typically emphasize compound exercises like squats and deadlifts. We utilized the extensive dataset collected from system version 1. This dataset, the result of extensive interactions and programming with version 1 participants, forms the backbone of the AI-driven enhancements in version 2. It is the science of exercise program pre-development for personalized training.

​The majority of members do not require a personal trainer. They only require personalized training.

Autonomy v2 is not an exercise tool for learning workouts through videos or demonstrations. Such services occupy a saturated market, competing by price, add-on features, and celebrity endorsements. Autonomy v2 is not a community from which ideas, programs, and experiences can be shared. It is not a fitness coach or motivation builder. It is not like any exercise app on the market. Here's why...

Online platforms provide extensive visual guidance for virtually any exercise you can think of, with numerous tutorials available for free. By comparing various unaffiliated demonstrations, viewers can quickly identify the consensus on correct techniques, effectively validating the proper way to perform any exercise. When nine out of ten videos demonstrate an exercise similarly, it becomes easy for anyone to identify and disregard the outlier that doesn't match up. This widespread availability of accurate exercise demonstrations ensures that viewers can confidently follow the consensus, using it as a reliable benchmark for proper technique.

However, this clarity does not extend to fitness programming, where generic advice such as "3 sets of 15" is often presented as exercise science. The lack of scientific explanation leaves individuals guessing whether such routines suit their specific goals, whether weight loss, muscle gain, or athletic conditioning. The correct application of a fitness program isn't as visually apparent as exercise technique and requires an understanding of the scientific principles underpinning it.

This is where Autonomy v2 steps in, shifting the focus from redundant demonstration to understanding the science behind fitness regimens. Unlike exercise technique, the effectiveness of a fitness program isn’t immediately apparent through a simple sequence of steps. Often, people are advised to follow formulas like “3 sets of 15,” but very little effort is made to help them understand why. Autonomy v2 bridges this gap by simplifying complex exercise science into accessible, engaging content. Rather than offering an opaque formula, it clarifies how each component—sets, reps, rests—works scientifically, rendering the program’s benefits transparent and easily understood.

The Caloric Expenditure Rating System

The Caloric Expenditure Rating System in the NorthStar System embodies advanced principles from exercise science to evaluate and enhance the efficiency of workout sequences. This system, powered by AI, calculates the energy expenditure of different exercise sequences, assigning each a rating with 10 representing the utmost efficiency. Here’s how this system integrates foundational exercise science principles:

Energy Expenditure Calculation:
The AI utilizes detailed physiological data to determine how specific exercise sequences impact caloric burn, including both immediate energy use during exercise and sustained metabolic increases after the workout. This dual focus aligns with the exercise science principle that both immediate and post-exercise caloric burns are crucial for overall fitness efficacy.

Strategic Exercise Ordering:
Leveraging insights from version one, the AI optimizes the order of exercises to enhance metabolic rate. In the Strategic Exercise Ordering component of Autonomy v2, the system capitalizes on the wealth of data accumulated from Version 1 to refine and enhance exercise sequencing. This data, rich in insights about the efficacy of different exercise sequences, allows the AI to make informed decisions on how to order exercises for maximum caloric expenditure. Autonomy v2 harnesses historical data from Version 1 to optimize its exercise sequencing, drawing on detailed analytics about how different sequences affected metabolic rates. By scrutinizing past outcomes, the AI identifies the most effective combinations of exercises. It strategically orders exercises within each workout to optimize metabolic impact, such as positioning high-intensity exercises before strength training to maximize metabolic spikes or alternating muscle groups for sustained intensity. Moreover, the system customizes these sequences for individual users based on proven efficacy. If data indicated that certain sequences yielded better results for specific fitness profiles, the AI tailors these optimal sequences to new users with similar characteristics, enhancing the personalized effectiveness of each workout.
