The barbell velocity tracker app loved by lifters around the world
For not needing to buy any equipment this is a great tool. The 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
I can’t believe how easy this makes VBT training compared to the old way of using wearables and external hardware.
This app is brilliant, can’t wait to see what’s next!
Amazing to not have to pay thousands for a unit or even attach anything to a bar.
Just click record on your camera and I can track my athletes Bar Velocity so easily as well as see form breakdowns etc.
10/10
Tried for the first time today. Tracking seems excellent, very very good for checking bar path.
I've never used velocity based training before ... but I do plan to use this moving forward in my training.
It’s not just a “you don’t need an accelerometer / cord attached to the barbell” solution. Video is actually better... as it gives you form analysis, not just power and bar path, given that you can calculate for that at all, which nearly all other apps can’t.
Honestly can’t recommend it highly enough if you are at all interested in optimising your performance with barbell exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Metric algorithm is a patented video analysis method of accurately measuring barbell movement from video. Record your lifts with the app, and Metric will track the barbell in real-time to precisely calculate the change in position for every rep. No additional equipment is needed, but your iPhone or iPad should be positioned side-on and in a stable position.
Metric has been tested against traditional VBT devices and accelerometers, and matches or exceeds their performance in normal conditions. Metric was compared against full 3D-motion tracking systems during development to create our baseline algorithm.

To ensure your recordings are accurate it helps to have a tripod or stable object to position your phone against – leaning your device against a kettlebell, water bottle or similar works great!
