Every check-in at your gym is a research data point, and most operators are sitting on it. Spencer Tatum of TCU’s Roach Institute of Athlete Engineering explains how gyms, health clubs and performance centers can turn the data they already collect into grant funding and better member outcomes.
Eric Malzone welcomes back Spencer Tatum, Chief Athlete Liaison at TCU’s Roach Institute of Athlete Engineering, for his third appearance on the show. Spencer explains how a shipyard’s workers’ comp problem turned out to be a heat problem, which they solved with a sensor built into earbuds workers already wore. He also covers how markerless biomechanics took a pitcher from 89 to 93 mph just by speeding up his pelvis, and why some athletes now stop wearing their wearables during competition. Spencer also lays out how off-the-shelf cameras are bringing research-grade biomechanics to any facility, and where digital twins are headed for performance and healthcare.
Spencer Tatum is Chief Athlete Liaison at TCU’s Roach Institute of Athlete Engineering, with a career that includes training NFL, MMA, pro tennis and pro golf athletes and running 80,000-square-foot health clubs.
