A squat's depth and a hip's new range are two different arguments. The PT Manager settles both from the same camera
In short: Squat depth and joint mobility both turn into industry arguments about who has 'proper' range. The PT Manager's Live Analyser reads the actual hip and knee angle for either one, live, from a single camera, so the session runs on what the joint is doing rather than an opinion about it.
Two arguments, one camera
Squat depth gets argued about like it is a moral position. Mobility gets filed under "some bodies just have it." Both arguments run on opinion because nobody in the room had a way to actually read the joint. The PT Manager's Live Analyser reads it anyway, hip and knee angle, live, from one camera pointed at whatever the session needs that day.
Key Takeaways
- Squat depth and mobility both attract industry opinion because the joint angle behind them usually goes unmeasured.
- The Live Analyser lays a live skeleton over a client and reads that angle in real time, on any movement the camera can see.
- It opens the day a trainer signs up with FASTER, and adding real clients switches on once a course is passed.
What today's two arguments have in common
A hip crease dropping below the knee and a hip joint opening a few more degrees this month are both, underneath the argument, just angles. One gets treated as a test of effort, the other as a genetic lottery, and neither claim survives being pointed at with a camera that actually reads the joint. The Live Analyser doesn't care which debate a client walked in carrying. It reads the angle either way.
From the squat rack
Point the camera at a client mid-squat and the skeleton overlay reads the hip and knee angle rep by rep, readable across the room rather than squinted at side-on. A trainer sees the exact depth reached on that set, on that client's own hips, not measured against someone else's Instagram.
From the mobility session
The same overlay works standing still. Film a client's active range this month, film it again next month, and play the two clips side by side. The joint travelling a few degrees further under its own control is visible proof, not a compliment a client has to take on faith.
One tool, two doors in
The PT Manager opens the day anyone signs up with FASTER, free to explore and build in, before a single client is added. Adding real clients switches on once a course is passed, and there are two honest routes: the Certified Personal Trainer course from scratch, or a specialist course like Skill Driven Mobility Coach for someone already qualified. Either way, the camera is waiting in the room from day one.

The Certified Personal Trainer course, Level 2 and Level 3 together, is £1,500 and brings the PT Manager with it from the moment of sign-up.

Can the PT Manager track more than squat depth?
Yes. The Live Analyser reads the hip and knee angle on any movement the camera can see, a squat's depth on one client and a hip's active range on another, tracked joint by joint in real time.
Do I need a separate tool for mobility clients versus strength clients?
No. The same live skeleton overlay works for both. A trainer points the camera at whatever the session needs reading, a squat under load or a joint moving through its own range.
How do I get the PT Manager?
It opens the moment you sign up with FASTER. Adding real clients switches on when you pass a course, and the Certified Personal Trainer course is the way in from scratch.
