What changed Computer vision models can now track 33+ body keypoints in real time, segment obstacles automatically, and compare your movement against thousands of reference attempts.
What stayed the same Coaching judgment. AI surfaces patterns; humans decide what to do about them. Obstacle IQ is designed to assist coaches, not replace them — most of our top users are coaches looking to scale themselves across more athletes.
