With over 11 million participants globally, functional fitness is booming, but no tracker really meets the unique demands of the sport. Currently available solutions provide generic analysis that does not capture the complexity of functional fitness movements, leaving athletes without the precise data they need to optimize training.

That’s where WODMotions, comes in. We have created a first-of-its-kind wearable solution that can track all commom movements in functional fitness with a single chest sensor. Our AI-powered algorithms analyze movement and heart rate, providing feedback on fatigue, pacing, and intensity. These insights help functional fitness athletes train smarter, prevent overtraining and hit the performance goals they are striving for. Our goal is to become the market leader in functional fitness performance analysis.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

  • Automated Movement Tracking - no extra clicks needed; workouts are tracked seamlessly
  • Actionable Sport-specific Performance Feedback - for athletes, trainers & exercise programs
  • Product based on cutting-edge research at KTH Royal Institute of Technology

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR

  • Developed and validated our movement detection algorithms through soft funding from KTH
  • Run a successful pilot test with Swedish Functional Fitness Federation
  • Established early partnerships with high-profile coaches and athletes internationally
  • Backed by KTH innovation

THE TEAM

Our team has a strong research background in biomechanics, exercise physiology, and machine learning, along with expertise in software development. One of our co-founders is currently pursuing a PhD at KTH, further strengthening our research-driven approach. This foundation ensures our technology is rigorously validated, providing athletes with precise, AI-powered insights to optimise training and performance.
