Perch

Perch is a training and performance-tracking app that puts workout programs, readiness screening and velocity-based metrics into a single mobile interface, so coaches and athletes can view workouts and track progress from anywhere without a camera. With modules for delivering programs, monitoring fatigue and logging speed, power and jump data, Perch helps teams and individual trainers streamline sessions, personalize loads and run competitions. You need a Perch account tied to your team or organization to use the app, and connecting to a Perch camera unlocks speed, power and jump assessments.
