OlyPro™ analyzes Olympic weightlifting technique using computer vision. Record your snatch, clean, or jerk from the side and get a real bar-path trajectory, fault detection, and targeted drills tuned to what your lifts actually show. WHAT IT DOES OlyPro detects the barbell and your body position frame-by-frame during a lift. From that it builds a real bar-path trajectory, classifies the lift (snatch, clean, power clean, muscle clean, clean & jerk), and surfaces measurable technique issues — looping bar, slow turnover, cutting pull, low contact, hitching, starting position. Each fault has a severity from 1 to 4 so you know what to work on first. Then it picks drills. Each drill targets a specific fault and gives you biofeedback on the one metric that matters for that fault — so you train the fix, not the general lift. FEATURES - Bar-path trajectory overlay on every recorded lift - Automatic snatch / clean / jerk classification - Six fault types with severity scoring (1–4) - Drill library mapped to each fault, with per-rep metrics - Detailed lift analysis: peak velocity, height drop, range, hip offset, and more - Cloud backup of every lift (videos + analysis); review your training over time - Apple Watch companion for live lift counts and quick drill recall - Imperial or metric units; light + dark mode WHO IT'S FOR Olympic weightlifters and CrossFit athletes who want measurable feedback on Oly technique. OlyPro works best on bright, side-on footage; the lifter should be centered at belly height with the close plate fully visible at the top of the pull. IMPORTANT OlyPro is training feedback, not a substitute for in-person coaching. Detection results and fault thresholds are guiding information, not definitive truth — they're calibrated to help guide training, not to evaluate failure or pass / fail a lift. Not medical advice. Consult your physician before starting any exercise program. SUBSCRIPTION OlyPro offers auto-renewing subscriptions — Basic and Gold, each available monthly or yearly — with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plans. Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
