The AI home gym drew 1,885 backers and became Kickstarter’s most-funded home gym project, underscoring rising demand for personalized at-home fitness systems.
AEKE said its AEKE S1 Pro Full-Body AI Home Gym raised $5,866,348 from 1,885 backers during a 39-day Kickstarter campaign, making it the most-funded home gym project on the platform, according to Kickstarter. The company framed the result as evidence of growing global demand for smarter, more personalized home fitness products as consumers move beyond traditional equipment and basic connected devices toward systems that combine adaptive programming, professional guidance, and AI-driven coaching. AEKE positions the S1 Pro as an all-in-one home gym that combines strength training, mobility, recovery, and functional movement in a compact format. It says the system delivers the functions of more than 23 traditional gym machines through a 7 × 9 × 3 adjustable-arm setup with 185 strength-angle combinations, digitally controlled resistance, and AI tracking of 42 skeletal keypoints (body-joint reference markers) to analyze movement in real time and provide feedback. The company also highlights lifetime access to AI coaching, an expanding library of guided workouts, support for multiple user profiles, no wall installation, and a foldable design that occupies about 0.3 square meters. AEKE said the campaign’s performance reflects the broader rise of AI-powered consumer technology and a shift in home fitness toward more adaptive and data-driven training experiences.
