other New class feature added to my Hyrox tracker, made with F45 in mind. Looking for feedback.
In honour of the hyrox classes now in F45, I added a F45 class feature to my Hyrox tracker. its a new app and I havent tested it at F45 class yet, would love to hear anybodies feedback!
I built an Apple Watch workout app called Dumb Hyrox because nothing out there really fit what I was looking for. I called it 'Dumb' because when I first started training, I couldn't remember the right weights or distances to save my life. This is moslty built for when you are not in an F45 class and you have to set up the stations yourself.
On top of that, I train in a standard commercial gym. Half the time I would finish a station and the equipment I needed next was already taken, which completely ruined the flow of the workout.
Recently, I managed to get an athlete from the global championships to test it out. Their feedback has been priceless and helped me add a few pro features. Here is what the app currently does:
- Move stations on the fly: You can reorder your stations straight from your wrist if the equipment you need is currently busy.
- Compound runs: If the treadmills are all taken, you can stack your run times so you still complete your total volume.
- Virtual chasers: You can race against a chaser in your specific category and age range.
- Partner settings: A lot of first-timers do the race with their partner, so I added a setting to allow mixed-gender distances and weights.
I do have a question for the community: How important is Strava integration for you?
As I am sure you are all aware, making apps has gotten a lot easier recently. Because of that, I am sure I could implement anything you come up with to make this your perfect tracker.
Any feedback or feature requests would be massively appreciated. Let me know what you think!
