Perch Launches P2, the Next Evolution of Weight Room Intelligence

What's Happening?

Catapult–owned Perch just unveiled Perch P2, its next-generation weight room performance monitoring system—designed to be faster, smaller, and more precise as elite programs demand real-time insight at scale.

Over the last decade, Perch has tracked 25+ million sets across 300+ elite programs, evolving from an MIT prototype into a foundational layer of modern strength & conditioning. P2 represents the biggest hardware leap yet, translating years of applied learning into a device built for accuracy, portability, and seamless integration inside the weight room.

What’s New with Perch P2

• +40% wider field of view for faster setup and more consistent data capture
• 2× frame rate to better track high-velocity lifts
• <50% of the previous size, reducing footprint while improving portability
• Magnetic mounting for rapid, tool-free setup
• Built-in LED feedback for instant athlete cues and custom branding
• Color video capture for in-room visual feedback

P2 isn’t just a hardware refresh—it’s positioned as the foundation for a more intelligent, scalable, and integrated approach to weight room performance. As strength data continues to merge with broader athlete monitoring ecosystems, Perch P2 tightens the feedback loop between intent, execution, and adaptation.
