Send ChatRPE a short video or photo of a lift and ask about the movement you want reviewed. The feedback arrives in your training conversation, where you can keep the load, reps, effort, and technique notes together.
This is an uploaded-clip review after a set. ChatRPE does not watch a live camera feed or cue you while you lift.
Send a clip with a specific question
Film the set so the relevant movement stays in frame. For a squat-depth question, show your full body from an angle where hip and knee position are visible. Keep the camera steady and leave enough of the clip to see the setup and the rep you are asking about.
Attach the clip using the video control in the chat composer, then add the load, rep count, and your own read of the set:
"Squats, 225 lb for five at RPE 8. The last rep felt different. Check my depth and bar path, and tell me which change to work on first."
Video attachments require Premium. A still photo works on every plan, but it shows a position rather than the movement into and out of it. Choose a clip for questions about timing or bar path; use a photo for something visible in one frame.
The uploader accepts videos up to 20 MB, with direct analysis limited to roughly 14 MB. Trim to the relevant set and keep the file small. If the coach asks for a shorter clip, resend the part that shows the issue.
Use the feedback on the next set
Ask for one actionable cue and an explanation of what in the clip supports it. A reply that mentions your depth or brace should tell you which rep or position prompted that observation. If the angle hides the movement, send a clearer view rather than treating a confident answer as proof.
For squat questions, the squat guide explains setup and depth so you can judge whether a suggested cue makes sense. Log the set's RPE too: how the rep felt adds information that the camera cannot supply.
Review the feedback while resting, then decide whether to change the next set. Pain or a suspected injury needs assessment from a clinician. A video response cannot establish that a movement is safe for you.
Keep the cue with your training notes
Ask ChatRPE to save the observation with the workout: "Note that my heels rose on the last rep; check this on my next squat day." Future reviews can refer to recorded observations alongside your loads and effort.
That comparison depends on the notes and clips you supplied. It is not automatic frame-by-frame motion measurement. If you want to revisit a particular session, name its date and include the clip again when needed.
Continue logging through the workout log or Siri. A useful next-session note might be "film the first working set from the same angle" so you can check whether the cue helped under similar conditions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a form check app?
It reviews a recording or image of an exercise and offers feedback on visible technique. ChatRPE provides that feedback in the same conversation as your training log, so you can include the session's load, RPE, and notes.
Is there real-time form feedback while I lift?
No. You upload a clip or photo and receive a response afterward. Use it between sets or after the workout.
Do I need Premium?
Video attachments require Premium; photo review is available on every plan. A photo can help with a visible position, but a video provides more information about movement.
What if my video is too large?
Trim it to the set you want reviewed and reduce the file size. The uploader's limit is 20 MB; direct analysis supports roughly 14 MB. A shorter clip also makes the question easier to identify.
Can ChatRPE rate my workout or routine too?
Yes. For a routine review, send the exercises, sets, frequency, and progression rule. For a session review, ask it to compare the workout with your recent logs. The workout planner guide covers how to make that review useful.
How can I use this alongside an in-person coach?
Bring the clip and any recurring observations to your coach. They can assess technique in person and decide which cue fits you; your saved notes help document what happened between sessions.
