How pro athletes train

The Androni Giocattoli Sidermerc pro cycling team uses the Selfloops telemetry to track watts, cadence and heart rate of the athletes in real-time.

Tracking real-time data allows the sports director to provide immediate feedback to the athletes and help them improve. Selfloops also provides post workout analysis.

You can only improve what you measure!

The most advanced Apple Watch app

In this latest release we have added support for the fitness industry Bluetooth FTMS standard.

This means we now supports indoor rowers, indoor bikes and treadmills.

This is the only Apple Watch app that works with Concept2 machines (rowers, BikeErgs and SkiErgs) and with indoor rowers, indoor bikes, indoor bike trainers and treadmills.

The FTMS acronym stands for Fitness Machine Service and it is part of the Bluetooth standard.

The FTMS standard is supported by the Spinner® Chrono™ Power bikes, the Atom Wattbike, Technogym rowers and many others.

More and more “smart” connected machines are in the market. With our Apple Watch app you can track your workouts and automatically analyze all your activities in the Selfloops website. Activities are automatically uploaded at the end of the session.

With the Apple Watch application is also possible to join group heart rate tracking sessions in your gym (the only Apple Watch app able to do it), and track cardio workouts.

Download our Selfloops Spark app from the App Store.

Videos and music in the Group Fitness sessions

We have created an integrated experience that makes it possible to simultaneously track sensors and play multimedia content in a single application.

This features is available in our Group Fitness Premium application and allows a coach to play videos and/or music while tracking the workout data.

With just one click, it is possible to switch, during the session, from the video screen to the tracking screen.

The multimedia content together with the structured workouts feature allows the coach to create highly interactive and structured experiences.

For more information on how to use it, please check our support pages.

Making group sessions more fun

We wanted to make group fitness session more engaging and fun so we decided to add gamification mechanics to the experience. You can enable this option in the Settings of the application.

Gamification is the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) applied in this case to fitness workouts. Gamification encourages engagement with the service and makes the experience more fun.
