Those with a basic knowledge of coding and electronics will be able to put together the newest project from Netflix's Make It series—theNetflix Personal Trainer. The DIY device makes it possible to turn one's favorite TV characters into a personal trainer for working out, as they will offer one-liners from different Netflix shows to help one advance during a journey towards health and wellness through fitness.
Since people are motivated in different ways, the Netflix Personal Trainer offers three training styles, with help from characters of popular shows—for instance, the lead from The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt provides uplifting encouragement, while Terry Crews of Ultimate Beatmaster provides only "tough love."
Some of the other projects that have been previously introduced through Netflir Make It included The Switch, Netflix Socks and the Netflix Halloween Doorbell.
