About Pose Arcade

We started Pose Arcade to bring the data and feedback of a dedicated sports biometrics lab to anyone with a cellphone, at a fraction of the cost.

Our Goal

To make machine learning movement analysis affordable and accessible to COACHES, ATHLETES, and ANYONE just looking for some feedback. Using your smartphone, we provide quantifiable data to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and deepen the understanding of movement fundamentals—without expensive labs or equipment.

Our Story

It began as a side project between Alec (son) and Mike (dad), initially exploring ways to improve tracking for post-surgery rehabilitation. We saw a need for better guidance when professional therapy wasn't readily available.

The Pose Arcade Team: Alec, Mike, and Lisa

Recognizing the complexities in healthcare, we pivoted to sports analysis to refine our tracking technology first. About a year in, Lisa (mom) joined, bringing invaluable project management experience to guide our efforts.

After two years of learning and iteration, we developed our first tools: the Runalyzer for runners and the Perfect Pose for bodybuilders. These are the first steps towards our goal of offering a suite of sports-specific analysis tools.

And the name? Pose for the AI pose estimation technology we use, and Arcade reflecting our vision of a collection of accessible analysis tools for various disciplines.

Featured Tool: Runalyzer

Analyze your running form with Runalyzer. Simply upload a video of yourself running (a treadmill view works great), and our AI provides detailed feedback on key metrics using Google MediaPipe and our proprietary analysis:

  • Steps Per Minute
  • Ground Contact Time
  • Vertical Oscillation
  • Stride Symmetry
  • Trunk Lean
  • Elbow Angles

(And more data points available in the full analysis!)

Featured Tool: Perfect Pose

Perfect your stage presence with our Perfect Pose. Designed for bodybuilders, this tool guides you through standard competition poses, providing real-time feedback by comparing your form against ideal reference poses. Practice your routine anytime, anywhere:

  • Guided Routines
  • Pose Comparison
  • Symmetry Checks
  • Real-time Feedback
  • Save & Review
  • Practice Anywhere

(Refine every pose before stepping on stage!)

Looking Ahead

Running and Posing are just the beginning. We plan to expand into analysing other sports and eventually revisit applications in rehabilitation, always driven by the goal of making precise movement analysis accessible to everyone.

Thank you for giving us a try!

We look forward to seeing you crush your next event.
