NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PEAR Sports® today announced a strategic partnership with Pilates Metrics. PEAR is the leader in smart digital coaching technology for the fitness, health and wellness markets. Pilates Metrics is the first digital platform in the Pilates industry that allows studios and teachers to track, chart and share client progress.

Pilates Metrics' patented assets, technologies and experiences will help bring measurable results to customers."
"I'm thrilled to join with the PEAR Team and include integrated video, wearables, and postural assessments in the Pilates Metrics App," said Joseph Quinn, Founder and CEO of Pilates Metrics.
