The interview went great. Alejandra answered every single question I had and gave me a comprehensive breakdown of the app's features and how to use them effectively.

This device is an absolute…

This device is an absolute game-changer. The hardware is well-made, and the app works flawlessly.

I've used this for every rep of my main lifts for the last 3 months, and the numbers just keep going up.

The biggest thing this has done for me, has been the perspective shift; bar speed is the only thing that matters. Tracking your progress as a weightlifter by going off of "pounds on the bar" is like talking about how fast a car can go based off its cylinder displacement - you don't get the full story, and it's not a reliable metric for measuring your actual strength.

Even on days where I'm feeling flat and blown-out, I can push to make each rep better than the last one.

This thing is the real deal. If you care enough about your fitness to have read this whole review, do yourself a favor and buy one already.

Good product with a few bugs. Poor customer service.

The product is good and does what it's supposed to. However, there's a few annoying bugs with the app, for example you lose your whole ongoing workout if you leave the app for too long (can be as little as 5minutes).

Customer service is very poor. Contacted them several weeks ago about an issue, but still haven't heard anything.

Hi Ola, it is Iker from Vitruve.
I am so sorry for the customer service we gave you, we always try to answer all emails in a daily basis and we try to do our best.

I have checked your email and I have found it, and to be honest, I don't know what happened with it, we might miss it.

Regarding your request, I will answer you here:

1.- It is true that the app right now is not prepared to use other apps while doing a workout and recording every rep, but it should put the workouts in "not finished", it should never lose any data. Could you please share with us a video recording so we can try to fin the bug?

2.-App doesn't register reps without GPS/Location being enabled: We do have this setting in the android app, and it is planned to be modified soon.

3.- We are right now finishing a new update, which is already available in iOS that will allow you to create your own exercises.

4.- Adding default equations to variants: We have had many discussions about this, the thing is that the default equation, even if it is not a custom one, it is pretty accurate with most of people, but when it comes to a variant, it changes completely.
I understand the point of at least giving some feedback to the athlete, but a low bar squat is really different from a high bar squat and the numbers won't make much sense.
But you are right, and we will rethink, everything that can give you an idea of what your 1RM can be, it is good, at least if we can maintain some accuracy.

Again, I am so sorry for not answering you, we are working on this so we never miss any email again. And also thank you so much for your feedback because we have found some bugs/issues that have to be solved on the android app.

Best!

Unique live voice feedback

I have been using the device for over a year. As I pro athlete I need to track my performance and pay attention to detail.
I get to travel a lot, so having a easy to carry and light device is mandatory.
The app is super smooth at use, even if I might use 20% of all the data available.
Last but not least, the live "voice-feedback" is F*ing amazing for both MOTIVATION and performance.
I can't work out without it no more.
A must have for ANY athlete looking to improve their performance.

Would give 4.5 stars

Would give 4.5 stars. Minor improvement to timer function but overall, and certainly at the price, hard to complain about anything. Useful tool for large groups/teams. Easy to implement velocity zones to trigger certain training adaptations. Can get more in depth when working with small groups or 1-on-1 with use of individual force velocity profiles.

This product has been the best…

This product has been the best investment I have made in my training. The VBT has elevated my training and is working extremely well with my coach and his programming. The only fault I have is that it measures my 1RM to be lower than the number I have just lifted, but since we don’t rely on that data I’m not too worried. It has been good for my training numbers cos it is objective data, not the subjective data that RPE was for me. Definitely would recommend this product

Thank you so much for the feedback! For getting a much more accurate 1RM, you should do your own load-velocity profile and modify the 1RM velocity. If you want us to help you with this, write to us at contact@vitruve.fit

Great product for Strength & Conditioning, Powerlifting & any fitness enthusiast!

I'm a full time Strength & Conditioning Coach from Bologna, Italy, and I work with many powerlifters and team sports athletes.

With Vitruve, I can finally have objective data to support my coaching & program design.

Vitruve is a great product at a competitive price. It has great functionalities such as the "beep feature" for Velocity Loss, 1RM estimation and it makes training a much better experience.

I also often work with athletes through remote coaching and I've already suggested the product to many of them: being able to see objective data as overlay on video is a GAME CHANGER.

Since I started using the product, I honestly can't see how I could go back to designing training programs and coaching without Vitruve.

My athletes are loving Vitruve as well, because it encourages a competitive environment (within themselves and against each other) through looking at real time data: they seem to be enjoying training even more, which is HUGE.

Absolutely great!
