Perch is a performance-tracking app for coaches and athletes that delivers workout programs, logs sessions, and monitors readiness — all from your mobile device. You can view assigned workouts and track progress without a camera, while advanced metrics such as velocity, power and jump height become available when you connect a Perch camera. The app groups core functionality into PLAN for programming, EVALUATE for readiness assessments and TRAIN for measurement, making it useful for strength coaches and sports staff who need efficient, data-driven tools for both large teams and one-on-one sessions.
Key Features
⭐ Deliver and access structured workout programs with Perch PLAN; view and log sessions anywhere without needing a camera.
⭐ Measure velocity, power and jump metrics when paired with a Perch camera using Perch TRAIN for objective performance data.
⭐ Run readiness and fatigue assessments with Perch EVALUATE to track RSI, jump height and short- or long-term trends.
⭐ Save coach time with bulk complete and single-tap save tools designed for fast session logging across large rosters.
⭐ Boost engagement with leaderboards and live competitions available through the companion web app for real-time comparisons.
Advantages
✅ Scales from one-on-one training to sessions with dozens or hundreds of athletes, so teams of any size can use the same workflow.
✅ Personalizes training by updating individual load-velocity profiles and estimating 1-rep-max after tracked exercises.
✅ Speeds up administration with features built to reduce logging time and simplify athlete compliance.
✅ Combines programming, readiness screening and measurement in a single interface to keep training data centralized and actionable.
Disadvantages
❎ Requires a Perch account associated with your team or organization to use the app, which limits access for independent users.
❎ Advanced metrics (speed, power, jump height) and jump assessments require pairing the app with a Perch camera.
