Perch

Perch is a training and tracking app that puts workout programs, readiness assessments, and performance metrics in your pocket so coaches and athletes can manage training from anywhere. The app provides assigned workouts and session tracking without requiring a camera for basic program access, while offering optional camera integration to capture velocity, power, and jump data when available. Perch supports structured delivery of plans, evaluation of fatigue and readiness, and real-time tracking of lifts and jumps so teams can personalize loads, monitor progress, and keep athletes accountable across sessions.

Disadvantages
