Perch uses 3D cameras to quantify movement without disrupting weightroom workflow. We capture bar velocity, power output, form, and more, motivating and informing athletes during a workout and providing coaches with a deeper level of insight into their athletes' performance and safety.
Perch is being developed by former MIT student-athletes who believe that every coach, athlete, and trainer should have access to their athletes’ workout data. Everything we do focuses on ease of use, adaptability, affordability, and data accuracy.
Perch is pushing elite athletes to perform at their best but will one day help millions of Americans build more athletic lives. Performing a variety of quality, functional movements is the first step to increasing strength, learning proper movement patterns and motor control, developing mobility, and decreasing the likelihood of injury. Perch is dedicated to motivating, quantifying, and coaching functional movement exercises regardless of fitness goals, age, or experience.
