A new redesigned powerful calendar

The calendar is an important tool for an athlete. In the calendar, an athlete checks past workouts and also visualizes and manages planned future workouts.

We have now redesigned the calendar. Together with a modern look and beautiful design, the new calendar brings a lot of new functionalities.

The new calendar shows the summary of each week. It is possible to add new workouts with a simple click. It is also possible to copy & paste planned workouts and move them around. The infinite scrolling makes the calendar easy to navigate. These features transform the calendar in a great tool for coaches and athletes alike.

PORTLAND, Dec 4, 2019 — MIO, performance wearables for those who train with heart, today announced its mioPOD heart rate monitor is now integrated with SelfLoops, allowing fitness studios to tap into, and display, heart rate data during group workouts.

InBody integration

We have integrated our platform with the leader in body composition technology, InBody. What it means in practice is that any time you analyze your body composition with an Inbody device you will have the data saved in the Selfloops website.

By integrating body composition analysis with your activities we can provide a more comprehensive view of your fitness level and sports performance.

With this integration we are bringing sports performance analysis to the next level.

The integration can be activated by the athletes in the Settings section of the website.

The data will appear on the Health section and weight the line chart will include the weight, fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass.

It is also possible to have a more detailed analysis in the History section.

We believe this is a great addition to our platforms. We provide the tools that allow coaches and athletes to track analyze sports performance. You can only improve what you measure!

A redesigned training plans platform

In our platform, we have had the ability to create and manage training plans for a while. However, we wanted to make this part better and easier to use.

That’s why we have completely redesigned our training plans. We have created a new beautiful design with a new calendar, and the ability to drag&drops workouts.

There are two types of plans, dynamic and standard.

Dynamic plan
A Dynamic plan has real dates and appears in calendar in real time. This type of plan is great for working with a group of athletes that are all training towards the same event. When you add a workout to the dynamic plan then the same workout appear in the athletes calendars in real time.

Standard plan
In a Standard plan the dates don’t matter. This is a plan designed to be included in other plans or to be applied to any date by the athletes.

We have created an advanced training plans platform that allows coaches and athletes to schedule the appropriate workouts and keep track of past sports performance.

You can only improve what you measure!
