Hyrox training is all about pacing, effort management, and repeatable performance.


With Pulses App, gyms can run smarter Hyrox gym classes by tracking heart rate live for every athlete, station by station. Coaches instantly see who is working in the right zone, who is fading, and when to push or recover — all in real time, without spreadsheets or guesswork.



Why Heart Rate Monitoring Matters in HYROX Classes

HYROX is built on 8×1 km runs paired with 8 demanding stations — SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpees, rowing, farmer’s carry, lunges, and wall balls.


Success depends on pacing runs just below threshold while handling intense station spikes.

In group classes, members often:


  • Start too fast and “blow up” halfway through.

  • Under-pace because they’re unsure of effort.

  • Rely only on RPE or watch-based %Max HR zones that don’t reflect their true physiology.


For coaches, it’s almost impossible to guide everyone at once without live, visible data.



Challenges for Gyms Running HYROX-Style Classes


  • Consistency: Sessions are high-energy but hard to standardize without reliable metrics.

  • Engagement: Members expect professional, motivating classes — not guesswork.

  • Retention: Without measurable progress, members lose motivation and cancel.

With Pulses, you can transform HYROX-style classes into structured, professional training experiences:


  • Custom HR zones per member → train athletes at their real thresholds, not generic watch formulas.

  • Unlimited athletes & sessions → grow your classes without limits or extra costs.

  • Flat pricing (€9.99/month or €99/year) → simple, predictable, affordable.

  • Any Bluetooth strap → members use the devices they already own (Garmin, Polar, Coospo, etc.).

  • Built-in fitness tests (Beep/Yo-Yo) → run baseline and progress tests in-house with no extra tools.

  • Reports & analytics → show members their time-in-zone, recovery, and improvements → boost loyalty.



How Coaches Can Use Pulses in HYROX Training

Setting up zones and running a class is simple:


  1. Run a baseline test (Beep or Yo-Yo).

  2. Set custom HR zones:

  3. Mirror to a TV during class → members see their live zone, coaches stay in control.

  4. Review reports after each block to adjust programming and celebrate progress.


Whether you keep it simple with %HRmax, use HRR, or fine-tune with tested thresholds, Pulses adapts to your coaching style.
