Pulses App

About Pulses App

Alright, listen up, fitness fam and coach crew. Tired of playing the guessing game with your team's effort? Pulses App is here to end that noise. Think of it as your group's collective fitness dashboard, but way less boring and without the price tag of some spaceship control panel. This slick app lets you see everyone's heart rate, live and in color, right on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac (Android squad, your time is coming in 2026). It's built for the real world: spinning classes where you wanna see who's actually dying on that hill climb, HIIT sessions where intensity is everything, Hyrox-style gut-checks, and any team sport where you need to know who's gassed and who's got more in the tank. The magic? It works with the Bluetooth heart rate monitors or watches your people probably already own—no need to drop stacks on proprietary hardware. Set up a session in literal seconds, get that crystal-clear, real-time insight into who's working and who's wilting, and then dive into the data after to see how it all went down. It's the ultimate wingman for any coach or gym owner who's serious about training smarter, not just harder.

Features of Pulses App

Live Group Heart Rate Dashboard

This is the main event, the big screen. The app shows you a live view of every athlete in your session with their current heart rate and effort zone color-coded for instant, at-a-glance understanding. No more squinting at spreadsheets mid-burpee. You can instantly spot who's crushing it, who's chilling, and who might be one sprint away from seeing their breakfast again. It turns group training from a guess into a science.

Built-In Performance Tests (Beep, YoYo, etc.)

Stop messing around with stopwatches and clipboards, my dude. Pulses has popular fitness tests like the Beep Test and YoYo Test baked right in. Just select the test, hit start, and the app runs the whole show—playing the beeps, tracking everyone's levels and heart rate simultaneously. It automates the annoying admin so you can focus on coaching and motivating. Results are saved automatically per athlete, creating a legit history you can use.

Universal Bluetooth HR Compatibility

Pulses doesn't force you into one brand's expensive ecosystem. If it broadcasts heart rate over Bluetooth, it's in the game. We're talking Polar, Garmin, Coospo, Wahoo—you name it. Your athletes can use the chest strap or watch they already own and trust. This "bring your own sensor" vibe keeps costs way down and makes getting started stupid simple.

Post-Session Analysis & Sync

The learning doesn't stop when the sweat dries. After each session, you can review the whole group's performance, see averages, peaks, and who spent the most time in which zones. Even cooler? All this data can sync automatically over to Athlete Analyzer (an optional, more advanced platform) for long-term tracking and periodization planning. It's like your session data gets a VIP pass to the analytics afterparty.

Use Cases of Pulses App

HIIT & Spin Class Instructors

For the trainers running the show in a dark room with loud music, Pulses is your secret weapon. Instead of just yelling "PUSH!" into the void, you can actually see who needs to turn it up and who needs a breather. Call people out by name (in a motivating way, obvi) based on real data. It makes your coaching personalized at scale and turns a good class into an unforgettable, results-driven experience.

Sports Team Coaches (Soccer, Rugby, Basketball)

Practice should be about quality, not just surviving. With Pulses, you can monitor your entire squad's intensity during drills and scrimmages. Spot the players who are consistently underloading or overreaching. Use the data to prevent overtraining before it leads to injury and to ensure every player is getting the stimulus they need to improve. It's like having a fitness translator for your team.

Hyrox & Functional Fitness Gym Owners

In the world of Hyrox and competitive functional fitness, managing workout intensity is everything. Pulses lets you run partner or team WODs while keeping a live pulse on everyone's effort. You can ensure athletes are pacing correctly for a long grind or going all-out on a short burner, making training more effective and a whole lot safer. It adds a premium, tech-forward edge to your box.

Running Performance Testing

Whether you're a school coach doing mandatory beep tests or a running club assessing progress, Pulses turns a chaotic, manual process into a smooth operation. Test up to 15 people at once with zero manual timing or note-taking. The app records every result cleanly by athlete, giving you immediate, indisputable data to benchmark fitness and measure improvement over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices do I need to use Pulses?

You, the coach, just need an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to run the session. That's it for hardware on your end. Your athletes need their own Bluetooth-compatible heart rate monitor (a chest strap is most reliable) or a smartwatch that can broadcast its heart rate. The app connects to all the popular brands, so they can use what they already have.

Is there an Android version available?

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap! The Android app is currently planned for release in Q1 of 2026. If you're an Android user, you can join the waiting list on the Pulses website to get notified the second it drops. The iOS/Mac version is live and kicking right now, though.

Can I use Pulses for long-term athlete monitoring?

Pulses itself is built for the live session—the "in the moment" coaching. For deep, long-term tracking (planning training blocks, tracking trends over months, etc.), your session data can sync seamlessly to a separate platform called Athlete Analyzer. Using Athlete Analyzer is totally optional, but it's there if you want to level up your analytics game.

How many people can join a single session?

The app is built for group training, so you're not limited to just a couple of people. You can run sessions with your whole team or class. The built-in performance tests specifically support testing up to 15 athletes simultaneously, which covers most group scenarios perfectly.
