The strength training app that sees your lifts.
A complete strength training app. Build your workouts, then measure every rep with your phone's camera: bar speed, bar path, and range of motion. No wearables, no sensors, no setup. Formerly Metric VBT.
Workout builder and planner
Build a program once, with supersets, planned weights, target reps, and RPE or RIR, then run it every week. Write it on your phone, or type it fast in the web builder at app.metric.coach (rdl 3x8@60 adds three sets of eight at 60 kg). Log your accessory and conditioning work in the same session, so the whole workout lives in one place.

Barbell velocity tracking (VBT)
Point the camera and hit record. Bar speed, power, range of motion, bar path, tempo, and rep count, all measured automatically. No wearables, no sensor straps, no expensive hardware.

Estimated 1RM and load-velocity profiles
Metric reads bar speed across your warm-up sets, builds your load-velocity profile, and translates it to today's estimated 1RM. No max-effort testing required. Pick today's working weight from today's data, not last month's PR.

Autoregulate with real-time feedback
Hear each rep's bar speed called out, set a target that rings a bell or a buzzer, and get an alert when the bar slows past your velocity-loss limit. After the set, see today's bar speed against your six-week baseline. Stop when the bar slows, push when you have it.

Coach a whole team from Metric Lift
Push programs to athletes' phones, run a team workout from one phone, and watch readiness across the squad. Review every working set from the coach dashboard without being on the gym floor. Start Coach Mode free, then bring in your whole roster with Ultra Coach.
What lifters say about Metric
“Coaching both powerlifters and sport athletes, it's been hard to find tech that's reliable at very low and very high bar speeds. Metric is the first thing I've found that's truly designed BY coaches — average to peak velocity, velocity loss alerts, ROM, all there.”
“I'm 60 and I've lifted since I was 16. Being older it's harder to gauge workout quality and recovery. This app helps with both — I can see how fast I'm moving the bar and adjust load on the spot. The PRs are very motivating. Jacob and his team are very responsive.”
“Exactly the same functions as an expensive velocity tracker. Very professional.”
“Took an annual sub out after 5 days, no need to let the trial run out. Video is actually better than accelerometers because it gives you form analysis, not just power and bar path. Can't recommend it highly enough if you're at all interested in optimising your performance with barbell exercises.”
“This is what I needed exactly. It just has everything for me to measure my squat progress and this app made it so much easier — thank you so much to the developers.”
“Probably one of the best VBT trackers out there that doesn't require any additional equipment.”
“For not needing to buy any equipment this is a great tool. VBT trackers go from $400 and up, so for this to do what it does with nothing is amazing.”
“Super simple to download and just start using. Great for getting clients and athletes to engage with their training in new ways. Can't believe this hasn't been done sooner. Well done team.”
“Finally an app that works. Brilliant.”
“A really must-go for measuring VBT with extreme quality and precision.”
