Teach the room, not the clock. Cadence is the class timer for instructors. Pilates first, and just as at home in barre, yoga, HIIT, bootcamp, and personal training. Plan the flow once on iPhone, then teach it from your Apple Watch, your iPhone propped on the reformer, or an iPad the whole room can read. It shows the current move, your private cue, and what is next, and taps you before every transition. Your eyes stay on your clients. Plan the class once • Name each move, set the seconds, and add the coaching cue only you see. • Add between-step transition pauses for spring changes or setup, across the routine or per step. • Loop a move or a linked multi-step block for Left & Right sides or repeated sets, with an optional switch-sides pause (Cadence Pro). • Color-code warm-up, work, and cool-down so the runner reads at a glance. • Repeat a block for rounds, rest between them, and open with a Get Ready countdown (Cadence Pro). • Start from a template: a 45-minute reformer flow, a 50-minute mat class, a 30-minute private, a 45-minute barre class, a 60-minute yoga flow, Tabata, HIIT, a five-station circuit, EMOM. • Tag routines Mat, Reformer, Private, Barre, Yoga, HIIT, or Strength and filter the library by class format. Bring in the plans you already have • Paste from Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers, or Notes, or open CSV files — with 1 free spreadsheet import included, and unlimited imports on Cadence Pro. • Smart Import (Cadence Pro): paste a plan from notes, an email, or a PDF in any layout and Cadence turns it into a routine to review before saving. • Send a routine to a colleague as a link or a CSV (Cadence Pro). Nothing is uploaded when sharing a link. Teach from whatever is closest • Apple Watch: current move, countdown, up next, and step count, with haptics at each step change, at your warning mark, and at any custom haptic marks you set. • iPhone & iPad: focus mode, hold-to-unlock screen lock, landscape iPad studio view, and AirPlay/HDMI Studio Display for a TV or projector (Cadence Pro). • Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timer with pause and skip buttons, plus Apple Music playlist attachment per routine (Cadence Pro). • Routine Together: join any live synced workout by 6-digit room code for free, or host multi-device synced sessions with Cadence Studio. Cues the way you want them, or not at all • Everything is silent until you turn it on. • Haptics with custom per-step marks and optional 3-2-1 countdown taps, plus chime, beep, or bell tones and halfway cues. • Voice cues read the move and your coaching cue aloud (1 free sample class; unlimited with Cadence Pro). Free, Pro, and Studio Cadence is free with up to 2 active routines, templates, step colors, between-step transitions, custom haptic marks, sound alerts, headphone controls, 1 free spreadsheet import, 1 free voice-cue class, and joining Routine Together sessions.
