Top 10 Camera-Based Apps for Tracking Your Athletes’ Workouts

Can you imagine being able to correct your athletes’ technique in real-time using nothing but your phone or an analysis device? Or identifying signs of muscular fatigue through motion analysis?

Thanks to recent technological advances, fitness apps using computer vision now allow Strength & Conditioning (S&C) coaches and trainers to evaluate, correct, and monitor athletic performance more easily and efficiently than ever before.

At Vitruve, we understand how crucial reliable, accurate data is to making the most out of every training session. That’s why today we’re showcasing the best camera-based apps available—and how you can integrate them into your training methodology.

1. Motion Coach

Motion Coach was one of the first apps to use AI and computer vision to correct movement in real time. Using your device’s camera, it detects posture and provides instant feedback.

• AI-driven posture analysis with no accessories required.
• Real-time feedback during exercise execution.
• Designed for sports like powerlifting, running, yoga, and functional training.

2. OxeFit

OxeFit combines computer vision, biomechanical analysis, and a complete physical training system—a true smart training ecosystem. Ideal for high-performance centers already using VBT technology or looking to adopt advanced S&C tools.

• Automatic technique evaluation using video and sensors.
• Corrective feedback based on biomechanical metrics.
• Integration with training programming platforms.

3. Coach’s Eye

Coach’s Eye is a powerful tool for manual video analysis. Perfect for comparing reps, studying angles, or conducting in-depth technical reviews with athletes.

• Slow motion, on-screen drawing, and side-by-side comparisons.
• Easy export of clips to share with athletes.
• Cloud storage for training teams.

4. Onform

Onform combines video analysis, artificial intelligence, and internal messaging between coach and athlete. Record exercises, receive automatic technique suggestions, and comment directly on the video. A great app for coaches managing remote athletes.

• AI-assisted technique tracking.
• Built-in messaging between coach and athlete.
• Video comparison to track progress or regressions.

5. VAY Fitness Coach

This app relies 100% on your mobile device’s camera. It detects movement and automatically evaluates whether execution range, speed, and posture are correct.

• Tracks exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges, and more.
• Ideal for athletes training at home who need real-time technical feedback.
• Enables remote coaches to guide athletes with visual support.

6. Mirror (by Lululemon)

Mirror uses a built-in camera to show users their reflection while comparing their posture to a virtual coach. While it plays a smaller role in strength and S&C training, it’s excellent for mobility sessions, yoga, and core stability work.

7. Tempo Fit

Tempo features a 3D camera that recognizes movement and gives real-time feedback. It analyzes range of motion, speed, and technique—bridging the gap between traditional and data-driven training.

• Biomechanical analysis of repetitions.
• Automatic weight adjustment recommendations.
• Weekly progress reports.

8. Freeletics: Smart, Personalized Training

Freeletics is experimenting with video tracking features in its new beta version. It currently uses an adaptive algorithm to personalize routines based on user performance.

• Focuses more on general fitness than high-performance sports.
• Great for supplemental conditioning or complementary routines.

9. EliteForm

EliteForm is built specifically for strength and performance coaches. It uses high-speed cameras installed on racks to evaluate speed, power, and technique during compound lifts like squats and bench presses.

Its focus on metrics such as power output, mean velocity, and acceleration makes it a valuable asset for S&C programs that already use VBT as a core methodology.

Vitruve (Encoder + App + New S&C Platform)

While many of the apps above offer valuable features through camera-based tracking, Vitruve delivers a complete ecosystem tailored specifically for Strength & Conditioning professionals. More than just data capture, we turn raw numbers into smarter coaching decisions—whether you’re training elite athletes or optimizing group sessions.

Here’s why S&C coaches are making the switch to Vitruve:

• Full integration with our velocity encoder: Automatically log every rep with unparalleled accuracy.
