## What is Rival Coach?

Rival Coach is the coach's remote for Rival — the live team-competition platform for gyms.

HOW RIVAL WORKS
• The free Rival desktop app (rivalfitness.app) runs on your gym's laptop and reads your machines WIRELESSLY — every Concept2 rower, SkiErg and BikeErg, plus compatible bikes and runners — calories, metres, watts and pace, straight off the monitors. No cables to the machines, no typing in scores.
• The laptop fills your gym TV with live leaderboards, and can even send the workout to each Concept2 PM5 screen.
• This app is the coach's controller for all of it — and the full workout builder in your pocket.

IN THE GYM
• Open the app and it finds your gym's Rival laptop on the WiFi — signed in, you're connected automatically.
• Run the whole session from your phone: pick the workout, place teams on machines, start, pause, score.
• Run full competition days — divisions, waves, judged score sheets, live standings and the podium — with a public spectator page for every phone in the building.
• Send the live leaderboard to the gym TV with one tap, and see exactly what the TV shows, right on your phone.
• Pair machines and heart-rate straps from the gym floor, standing at the machine.

ANYWHERE (OFFLINE MODE)
• The full app in your pocket: build workouts, set up fleets and teams, and run complete demo classes with a live leaderboard — no gym hardware needed.
• Sign in with your Rival account and everything you build lands on the gym laptop automatically.
• Browse your gym's saved results and leaderboards, and set the branding your members see.

IMPORTANT: Rival Coach needs the free Rival desktop app running on your gym's laptop for live machine scoring — download it at rivalfitness.app. The laptop reads the ergs wirelessly and drives the TV; this app is the remote in your hand. Scores come live from the machines — every rep counts.
