Is this data that could be fed into the Health app (type of training, time of training, repetitions, duration of training)? The Health app is relatively picky about what sports are supported though…

That’s a great idea. HealthKit doesn’t track anything at the granularity of the number of reps, and while it doesn’t have a workout type specifically for pushups, this could probably be classified as Strength Training. I’ll add it!
Maybe there are other exercises with similar motion (squats?) that you would like to support as well? Great idea to use these sensors and I also like the idea of providing audio feedback btw.
A cool complex one would be burpees.
Love it! Yeah great idea!
