Pulses App
Pulses is a real-time group heart rate monitoring app for fitness and sports, helping coaches track training intensity live.
About
Pulses App lets you monitor heart rate live for groups and teams on iPad, iPhone, or Mac (Android planned for Q1 2026). It’s built for spinning classes, HIIT, Hyrox-style training, and team sports, giving coaches and instructors clear, real-time insight into training intensity — without costly hardware or complex setups. Pulses works with any Bluetooth-compatible heart rate band or watch. Start a session in seconds, track effort across the whole group, and review performance afterwards. A practical tool for fitness instructors and sports coaches who want better control of training load and consistency across sessions.
