About ELITEFORM

ELITEFORM is one of the most respected and influential companies in sports technology today. We first disrupted the industry in 2012 by bringing patented 3D camera technology to major college and NFL weightrooms across the country.

From a small, basement office and three employees in Lincoln, Nebraska to global reach and world champion clients, EliteForm continues to be dynamic and exploratory while maintaining a minimalist, ethical approach to business.
