Metric: Workout planner log for iPhone

App summary

Metric: Workout planner log is an iPhone app that brings velocity-based training (VBT) and detailed session tracking to lifters without extra sensors. Using only your phone’s camera and Metric’s proprietary computer-vision processing, it captures objective metrics—bar speed, movement tempo, and range of motion—for barbell work. The app is made to help you sharpen technique, monitor progress, and get more from every set.

Who benefits

• Strength and conditioning coaches looking for objective session data
• Powerlifters and competitive lifters who need precise metrics
• Athletes aiming to quantify and improve training loads
• Committed gym-goers who want structured, measurable progress

Core capabilities

• Advanced analytics and trend charts to track improvements and patterns over time
• A searchable library to store and rewatch recorded sets and training clips
• High-definition recordings for detailed technique review and playback
• Visualized bar path overlays to examine movement trajectories and form
• A complete session logger that handles both sensor-tracked and manually entered exercises
• Bar-speed readings comparable to tethered devices for trustworthy velocity numbers
• Immediate audio and visual cues during sets to help you stay on target
• Reliable velocity capture without extra hardware hassles
• Expanded functionality available through Metric Pro for power users

Exercises and customization

Metric supports velocity monitoring for 60+ standard movements and lets you add custom lifts to match your program. Real-time numbers allow quick adjustments to form, intent, and load selection so you can make each workout more productive.

How to use it

1. Place your iPhone at a side-on angle to the barbell so the camera has a clear profile of the lift.
2. Record the set using Metric’s in-app video recorder—no external sensors required.
3. Stop the recording and review the automatically generated data: speed, tempo, range, and playback.

Alternative option
