The process
How it works
One protocol. Four steps. Works every time.
Scan
Member does a ~10-minute movement assessment at the Pod. One proven protocol — 14 steps — every time. No trainer required to run it.
Plan
Movement Score (0–100), 2–3 focus areas, and one clear program recommendation print out at the Pod. Objective, repeatable, no guesswork.
Train
Coach uses the score and talking points to recommend a PT package or class. No hard sell — the data does the work.
Re-Scan
Re-test in 4–8 weeks. Members see their progress. Coaches have proof for renewals and referrals.
One proven protocol (14 steps, Baseline Movement Blueprint v1) — not dozens of templates. Consistent results you can compare over time.

Movement Score
82
Solid Base
Squat Depth
Good75%
How deep you get during a squat relative to your standing height. Greater depth generally means better hip and ankle flexibility.
Measures how far the pelvis descends relative to standing hip height during each rep. Deeper squats require adequate hip flexion, ankle dorsiflexion, and thoracic extension working together.
Lunge Depth (Left)
Good68%
How deep you lunge on the left side. Deeper lunges require good hip and knee control along with lower-body flexibility.
Lunge depth reflects the ability to eccentrically load through a split-stance pattern. Insufficient depth may indicate hip flexor tightness on the trailing leg or quadriceps weakness on the lead leg.
Hip Hinge Depth
Fair52°
How far forward you can hinge at the hips while keeping a neutral spine. A deeper hinge shows good posterior-chain flexibility.
Evaluates how well the hip-dominant flexion pattern initiates without compensating through lumbar flexion. Limited depth often indicates tight hamstrings or poor posterior-chain motor control.
Ankle Flexibility (Left)
Good32°
Range of motion at the ankle. More flexibility here helps with deeper squats and better landing mechanics.
Weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion is a key predictor of squat depth and landing mechanics. Restrictions often stem from posterior talocrural joint capsule tightness or soleus shortening.
Balance Hold (Left)
Good28 sec
How long you balanced on your left leg before putting your foot down. Longer holds show better balance and control.
Single-leg stance duration is a key indicator of proprioceptive stability and neuromuscular control at the ankle and hip. Healthy adults aged 18–39 typically hold 30–45 seconds eyes-open.
Balance Hold (Right)
Fair19 sec
How long you balanced on your right leg. Compare with the left to check for side-to-side differences.
Side-to-side balance time differences greater than 3–5 seconds suggest unilateral deficits in hip stabilizer endurance or ankle strategy.
Knee Tracking (Left)
Good8%
Whether your left knee stays in line with your hip and ankle during a squat, or drifts inward. Keeping knees tracking straight is a sign of good control.
Medial knee drift during squatting indicates a dynamic valgus pattern driven by hip internal rotation and adduction under load. Targeted glute activation can retrain this pattern within weeks.
Hip Sway (Left)
Fair22%
How much your body moved around while balancing on your left leg. Less sway means steadier balance.
Body sway reflects the efficiency of the postural control system, integrating vestibular, visual, and somatosensory inputs. Excessive sway often indicates over-reliance on an ankle strategy.
Balance Symmetry
Needs Work9 sec
The difference in balance hold time between your left and right legs. A smaller gap means more even balance on both sides.
Balance asymmetry greater than 5 seconds suggests a unilateral deficit in proprioceptive control or hip stabilizer endurance. Training the weaker side with eyes-closed progressions can accelerate symmetry restoration.
Lunge Symmetry
Good4.2%
How different your lunge depth is between your left and right sides. Closer to zero means both sides are equally flexible.
Lunge depth asymmetry above 10–15% often reflects unilateral hip flexor tightness or quad strength imbalance. Addressing the limited side with targeted split-squat progressions helps restore symmetrical loading patterns.
Forward Lean
Good12°
How much your torso tilts forward during the squat. Some lean is natural, but too much can mean tight hips or weak core.
Excessive forward trunk lean during squatting shifts the load anteriorly. Addressing ankle dorsiflexion restrictions and strengthening the erector spinae can reduce compensatory lean.
Knee Tracking (Right)
Fair15%
Whether your right knee stays in line with your hip and ankle during a squat, or drifts inward. Targeted strength work can improve this quickly.
Bilateral knee valgus asymmetry may reveal dominant-leg compensation or unilateral hip external rotator weakness. Cueing ‘knees over toes’ during training is a simple first-line correction strategy.
Knee Over Toe (Left)
Good8°
How far your left knee travels forward past your ankle during a lunge. Some forward travel is fine; excessive amounts can mean the quads are doing too much work.
Moderate anterior knee translation during lunging is normal. Cueing a vertical shin angle helps redistribute load to the posterior chain.

ROI snapshot
Illustrative example: 5 new PT clients at $300/mo = $1,500/mo incremental gym revenue (Option A). Aligns with our 60-day guarantee threshold. Hardware break-even in under 4 months at that pace.
Only ~5% of B2B buyers are in-market at any given time (Ehrenberg-Bass Institute (opens in new tab)).
Firms that contact a lead within 5 minutes are 21x more likely to qualify them than firms that wait 30 minutes (Harvard Business Review (opens in new tab)).
Option A — Satisfaction guarantee
We're so confident we guarantee it.
When you pay upfront (Option A), we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not seeing more assessments, more program sign-ups, and clearer conversations between your coaches and members — we make it right. We take the risk so you don't have to.
Terms documented on request. No motion-analysis competitor we're aware of offers this.
Who it's for
Built for owner-led, coaching-first gyms.
