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.
