About

Gaitor

See how you actually run. Gaitor turns a short phone video of your run into a clear breakdown of your running form. Film yourself for a few seconds and Gaitor's pose analysis measures the biomechanics that matter — cadence, stride length, ground contact, posture, knee drive, arm swing and more — then turns them into a simple score and plain-English coaching cues. No wearables, no lab, no treadmill required. Just your phone. WHY RUNNERS USE GAITOR • Spot the form habits that slow you down or lead to injury • Track cadence, stride and posture over time • Get specific, easy-to-action cues — not just numbers • See your progress run after run HOW IT WORKS 1. Film a few seconds of your run (side-on works best) 2. Gaitor analyses your gait automatically 3. Review your score, your metrics and what to work on next Whether you're chasing a PB, coming back from injury, or just want to run more efficiently, Gaitor gives you the kind of running-form insight that used to require a sports lab. Your videos stay private — we don't share or sell them. Run smoother. Run stronger. Gaitor.
