Most fitness apps build for the mirror. BodyBench builds for the field. Turn your smartphone camera into a biomechanics lab to benchmark Cardio, Power, Mobility, Endurance, Neuro and and 5 more dimensions through CMJ, FMS, Tuck Jump, posture, Cooper etc. —then unlock elite, science-backed periodized programming.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm thrilled to introduce BodyBench to the community today.
For decades, the consumer fitness app market has been stuck in one playbook: Aesthetic Hypertrophy & Calorie Counting. We track reps, log 3 sets of 10 bicep curls, and look in the mirror.
But if you play basketball, run, do CrossFit, or just want to move pain-free for the next 30 years, looking fit isn't enough. You need real athletic performance — explosive power, neuromuscular control, reactive strength, and movement quality.
Until now, getting any of that measured meant booking time at a performance facility: force plates that start at $10,000, optical timing gates, a physio running the screen by hand.
Without baseline testing, your training is just guesswork. And training blind is how a lot of driven people plateau — or get hurt.
We built BodyBench to kill the guesswork.
🔬 1. The Pocket Biomechanics Lab
Using computer vision and your phone's motion sensors, your phone becomes a real testing instrument:
Explosive Power & Reactive Strength: CMJ (Countermovement Jump) & Squat Jump testing to isolate elastic vs. concentric power.
Neuromuscular Screening: Dynamic Tuck Jump screening (the camera pre-checks 8 of the criteria, you review the rest) and FMS protocols to expose the asymmetries and landing mechanics that usually go unnoticed until something hurts.
Structural Health: Posture screening and joint mobility audits.
Cardiorespiratory Base: Built-in Cooper 12-minute VO₂ baseline evaluation.(can read from Apple Health too)
📈 2. 10-Dimensional Athletic Profiling
Every test is scored against age- and sex-matched population norms, then normalised into a single 0–100 Body Score — so seconds, kilos and centimetres finally become comparable. Underneath it sit 10 functional dimensions (Power, Strength, Endurance, Mobility, Balance, Agility, Neuromuscular Control, Cardio & Metabolic, Posture,Body Composition, Recovery), and BodyBench names which one is your bottleneck.
⚡ 3. True Periodized Programming (Not Just Workouts)
We don't generate static routines. BodyBench prescribes dynamic mesocycles engineered around biological supercompensation:
Intelligent Overload & Deloads: Automatic volume/intensity cycling — because supercompensation happens when you unload, not when you grind.
Elite S&C Methodologies: Integrating protocols that mostly live in pro S&C rooms — French Contrast Method (FCM) for explosive potentiation, Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC) drills, and Isometrics (yielding & overcoming) for tendon stiffness and joint bulletproofing.
Why we're on Product Hunt today
We believe athletic-grade science shouldn't be gated behind pro-team contracts and enterprise sports labs. We want every recreational athlete, coach, and biohacker to have access to elite performance metrics.
We'd love for the PH community to put BodyBench through its paces. Download the iOS app, run your first CMJ or mobility screen in your living room, and tell us: what is your body's biggest bottleneck?
