This meant I wasn’t taking thousands of bad rowing strokes, ingraining bad habits. The potential for asensei to provide quality feedback before bad habits are formed is really exciting", Helen Glover, 2x Olympic Gold Medallist and World #1 Rower. "Just when you thought (sports) technology couldn't get any cooler, along comes asensei", CBS Television "... the next frontier in the fitness tech revolution ... a wildly ambitious goal ... able to guide you through everything from form and recovery to metrics and goals while improving your individual results ... future of personal training", Men's Health Here's what users had to say: "someone keeping an eye on you the whole time is really cool because ... it keeps you honest, keeps you on track in a way that I don't think a coach normally can unless you are doing a one on one session, so it was the benefit of a one on one, with the class dynamic, which I really like!" "It's a cool product. I've never ever seen anything like that. In 5 minutes I learned how to row, I thought I was doing it right, but I wasn't" "(asensei) said don't worry there's a bunch of exercises I'm going to give to you afterwards that are going to help you on that. ... that's amazing. ... this is not just about now, it's like building a relationship."
Jump Rope Protocol
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every jump counts. Jump Rope Protocol turns your iPhone and compatible AirPods or Powerbeats into a jump rope training companion. Count your jumps, find your rhythm and follow a workout without keeping track of every round yourself. COUNT WITH YOUR AIRPODS OR POWERBEATS See your jump count, jumps per minute, longest unbroken run and trips during a session. Leave your iPhone on the floor and hear countdowns, rounds and milestones in your headphones. Your music keeps playing and only dips while the voice speaks. On iOS 26 or later, with Apple Health connected, counting goes on with the screen locked and your count stays on the Lock Screen. JUMP WITH YOUR APPLE WATCH Count jumps from your wrist, follow your rounds and feel haptic cues during your session. Apple Watch measures your heart rate and active calories, then saves your workout to Apple Health. TRAIN YOUR WAY Pick from ten formats: HIIT, jump intervals, EMOM, rising EMOM with Death by, pyramids, AMRAP, density, skill drills, max unbroken and Free Jump. Follow the four-week Beginner program, start from a preset, or build your own workouts on number wheels and organize them into programs. You can also ask ChatGPT, Claude or Grok to write a program and open it in the app. PICK YOUR ROPE Keep your ropes and their weights in the app. Guided sessions adjust cadence, volume and rest to the rope in your hands. Workouts you create run as you wrote them. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Every session ends with a report you can share as a story. Compare a workout with last time, follow twelve weeks of trends, chase your personal records and earn 27 badges. Widgets keep your next session and your last twelve weeks on your Home Screen. CONNECT YOUR TRAINING Pair a Bluetooth heart-rate strap such as the Polar H10 for live heart rate and zones. Estimate calories from your weight and time under the rope, in kilograms or pounds. With your permission, the app reads your weight from Apple Health and saves your sessions there as jump rope workouts. Your sessions, ropes, workouts and programs sync through iCloud between your iPhone and iPad. FREE TO COUNT Jump counting, Free Jump, the Beginner program, voice cues, heart-rate support, calories, Apple Health, one rope and 14 days of history are free. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks the workout creator and presets, the Intermediate program, your own programs, unlimited ropes, full history with Progress, comparisons with last time and all 27 badges. No subscription or account required. Counting on iPhone requires compatible headphones: AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation or later), AirPods Max, or Beats with head tracking such as Powerbeats Pro 2. Bluetooth heart-rate straps are optional. Available in English and French.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: asensei rowing at none against Jump Rope Protocol's 4. asensei rowing also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Jump Rope Protocol's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
