“We’re excited to partner with Ochy to offer our members exclusive access to their cutting-edge biomechanics analysis. By redeeming their adiClub points, members can try Ochy’s technology through a one-shot offer and enjoy 3-month access, enhancing their running performance and increasing their engagement with our community,”.

Khaldon Evans, Co-founder and CEO of Ochy said, “These key developments bring us closer to our vision of democratizing access to motion analysis and making lab-quality running gait analysis accessible to everyone, everywhere,”.

Evans said, “With our innovative AI solution, a partnership with an iconic global brand like adidas, and the support of forward-thinking investors, we are laying a foundation to help runners achieve their goals and reduce injuries by equipping them—as well as coaches, physios, and running stores—with AI running form analysis technology,”.

About Ochy

Ochy was founded in 2021 by Khaldon Evans, Perrine Chapot, and Victor Dequidt. They created a special AI that analyzes running form in real-time using just a smartphone camera, no extra equipment needed. They developed the Ochy platform after Khaldon’s track career at the University of Central Missouri ended due to injuries from bad running form. Their goal is to help athletes worldwide by making it easier to fix running issues.
