With TrainYourTeam, you can set up running sessions for your team. The app then records distance, duration, speed, altitude, pulse and calories burned. On top of that, we offer you a pool of strength exercises that you can quickly and easily integrate into your team's training. And if you can't find the right exercise, you can create it yourself. Have fun training! TrainYourTeam distinguishes between athletes and coaches. The coach creates workouts for his team, which contain running tasks or exercises. These have to be completed within a certain number of days. You can differentiate between exercises, distance, time, heart rate or interval runs. Athletes take their smartphone with them when they run. The app then tracks the route using GPS, measures the distance and stops the time. The coach is able to check at any time which of his players has already completed individual tasks or the entire workout. The app shows him details about the route, for example the average speed and how many meters of altitude were overcome while running. Features: - Running tasks (distance, time, heart rate or interval runs). - Catalog of exercises - Create your own exercises (as video or picture) - No limit of team members - Create workouts for individual members - Receive voice messages during the runs - Evaluate the workouts of your players as a coach - Record workouts with speed, altitude, calories burned, etc. - Sync your workouts and body-specific metrics with Apple Health - Voice messages under the run ("You ran 3 km in 30 minutes and 20 seconds.") - Compare yourself to your teammates even from players - Coach can also create tasks for individual players - No advertising -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can subscribe and pay through your iTunes account.
