The video reveals that the gym can support more than 150 different exercises targeting various muscle groups. It also includes AI-driven training sessions that track the user's progress in real-time, offering personalized workout plans.

Anand Mahindra shared the post on Thursday and since then it has received over 1 million views and 393 comments.

However, some netizens were not impressed with the IIT graduates, and claimed that their product was not innovative but rather a "rip-off from an American company."

“This is actually a rip off from an American company which has already been featured on Shark Tank USA if I am not wrong,” a user commented.

Meanwhile, another user raised concerns about the product's price, which is approximately Rs 1.7 lakh.

“Is it really worth it?... 1.70 L,” another user commented.
