Enode turns the barbell into a measurement instrument. Pair the Enode sensor with your bar, dumbbell or machine and every rep is captured automatically — velocity, power, force and full bar path — then turned into clear, coachable insight on your iPhone or iPad. Built with and for strength & conditioning coaches, Enode brings the precision of the lab to the weight room floor, and does it simply enough to run a full team without slowing training down. Velocity-based training, automatically Every rep is tracked the moment it happens — peak and mean velocity, power, force and estimated proximity to failure. Load–velocity profiles and live load recommendations help you dial in the right weight for today's readiness, so athletes train in the zone that matches the goal. Technique analysis, frame by frame See the movement, not just the number. Enode reconstructs the bar path in the sagittal and frontal planes, breaks each lift into its phases — first pull, second pull, turnover, catch — and charts velocity, acceleration, power, force, inclination and rotation across the rep. Record the set and scrub the video in sync with the data to review exactly where a lift breaks down. Jump and power diagnostics Counter-movement, squat and drop jumps are analyzed through their full phase sequence — unweighting, braking, propulsive and flight — with jump height, peak power and force, so you can monitor explosiveness and fatigue over time. Run the whole floor Manage multiple stations from a single device, switch between athletes in a tap, and keep every lifter's session organized in real time. Enode is designed for the reality of a busy weight room, not just one bar. Insights that build over time Session summaries surface the metrics that matter — 1RM, peak power, velocity, volume — with trends across recent sessions, plus deep per-set and per-rep breakdowns whenever you want to go further. Made for teams A shared platform for coaches and athletes: profiles, history and technique reviews stay connected, so progress is visible and programming decisions are grounded in data. Works where you train Reliable connection, offline-ready sessions that sync when you're back online, and support for barbell, dumbbell, bodyweight and flywheel training across strength, weightlifting and jump exercises. Train by velocity. Coach with clarity. Run the whole floor — with Enode. *** Enode Pro sensor is sold separately. *** Terms of use: https://enode.ai/terms-and-conditions-app/
