Pulses App

Pulses App is the definitive real-time heart rate monitoring platform engineered for the modern coach and gym owner. It eliminates the guesswork and expensive proprietary hardware from group training, delivering instant, actionable insights directly to your iPad, iPhone, or Mac. Designed for dynamic, high-energy environments like HIIT classes, spinning studios, Hyrox training, and team sports, Pulses provides a live dashboard of your entire team's effort levels. Connect any Bluetooth-compatible heart rate sensor from leading brands like Polar, Garmin, or Coospo, and you can start a session in seconds. See precisely who's pushing their limits and who needs to recover, ensuring optimal intensity and safety for every participant. Beyond live tracking, Pulses offers built-in performance tests and post-session analytics, making it a practical, all-in-one tool to control training load, improve consistency, and drive superior results. It's smarter, safer group training, simplified.

Live Group Heart Rate Dashboard

Gain an instant, at-a-glance overview of your entire team's effort levels in real time. This live dashboard eliminates guesswork, allowing you to spot who is in the target zone, who needs to push harder, and who requires immediate recovery. Make on-the-fly adjustments to intensity for safer, more effective sessions directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Built-In Performance Testing

Run standardized fitness tests like the Beep Test and YoYo Test directly within the app. Pulses automates the entire process, handling timing and data recording so you can focus on coaching. Test up to 15 athletes simultaneously, with all results saved automatically and organized by athlete for easy analysis and future training planning.

Universal Bluetooth HR Compatibility

Pulses works with the heart rate sensors you and your athletes already own. There's no need for expensive, proprietary hardware. Simply connect any Bluetooth-compatible chest strap or armband from major brands like Polar, Garmin, Coospo, and others to start monitoring instantly.

Post-Session Analytics & Reporting

Every session and test generates valuable data. Pulses automatically saves this information, providing you with clear post-session analytics. Review effort levels, track progress over time, and use these insights to guide future training decisions, improve program consistency, and demonstrate value to your athletes or gym members.

HIIT and Functional Fitness Classes

Transform your high-intensity interval training classes with live heart rate data. Coaches can visually manage the room's intensity, ensuring all participants are working at the correct effort level for maximum benefit and safety. Immediately identify individuals who are over or under-performing to provide real-time motivation or recovery cues.

Team Sport Conditioning Sessions

Optimize conditioning for soccer, rugby, basketball, and other team sports. Monitor the entire squad's cardiovascular load live during drills and scrimmages. This allows coaches to balance training loads, prevent overtraining in key players, and ensure the team peaks at the right time, all based on objective physiological data.

Cycling and Spin Studios

Elevate the indoor cycling experience by making heart rate data central to the class. Instructors can see which riders are hitting target zones and who is falling behind, allowing for personalized shout-outs and adjustments. This data-driven approach adds a premium, results-oriented layer to every session.

Standardized Fitness Testing

Streamline the administration of fitness assessments for teams or large groups. Use Pulses' built-in tests to conduct evaluations like the Beep Test for multiple athletes at once with perfect accuracy. Automatically recorded results save hours of manual work and provide a digital record for tracking athletic development over a season.

What equipment do I need to use Pulses?

You need an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to run the Pulses app. Each athlete or participant will need their own Bluetooth-compatible heart rate monitor (chest strap or armband) from supported brands like Polar, Garmin, Coospo, Wahoo, and others. Pulses does not require any proprietary or additional hardware.
