Hybrid Flow is the training app for HYROX and hybrid athletes who want to control their rhythm, not just their time. TRAIN WITH A METRONOME Build sessions with runs, ergs, wall balls, sleds and rests, and give each block its own cadence. The metronome and voice cues keep you on pace, even with the screen locked. Or start from the HYROX templates — full simulation, compromised running, sleds, ergs and wall balls — with the official weights for your division. FIND YOUR OPTIMAL CADENCE The cadence test runs stages of rising or falling cadence at a constant effort while it records your heart rate. Hybrid Flow finds the cadence where your heart works least, the optimal zone around it and your cardiac drift, and sets it as your metronome with one tap. MEASURE YOUR CADENCE BY TAPPING Tap along to any movement to get its BPM and how consistent you are. SEE WHERE YOU LOSE PACE Every result shows the time of each block and round, the drop-off from the first round to the last, the comparison with your previous run, your personal records and your heart rate per block. APPLE WATCH Train from your wrist with the metronome, the countdown and a big live heart rate. Results reach your iPhone on their own. Or keep the iPhone as your screen and get heart rate from your Apple Watch or a Bluetooth chest strap. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Sessions, results, analyses and tests sync with iCloud across your iPhone and iPad, and workouts are saved in Apple Health. FREE AND PRO Free: unlimited cadence analyses, 1 saved session and 30 days of history. Hybrid Flow Pro unlocks unlimited sessions and every HYROX template, your full history, drop-off and comparisons, live heart rate, the cadence test and the Apple Watch app. Choose monthly, annual (with a one-week free trial) or lifetime.

RunStation turns any training session into a full race-style breakdown: every station time, every run split, your ROXZONE, your total — on your wrist, with your phone in the locker. THE FULL BREAKDOWN, EVERY SESSION Per-station times. Per-run splits. Heart rate across the whole hour with the hard parts marked. Transitions totalled as ROXZONE. The kind of report you get on race day, from a Tuesday in the gym. ROXZONE, MEASURED Transitions decide finish times. RunStation times every one — from the moment you stop to the moment you start again — and totals them the way the race does. BUILD THE SESSION YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING Any combination of the eight race stations and 7 training movements. Distance or time goals per segment, rounds, free reordering. The full race is built in as a template. OR DON'T PLAN AT ALL Start on the watch with nothing loaded and pick each station as you walk up to it. Class rotations, open gym, anything improvised — the same breakdown comes out. THE WATCH DOES THE WORK The watch knows what's next and what's left, counts down your goals, and keeps timing the parts you'd never track yourself. REAL NUMBERS FROM THE MACHINE SkiErg, rower and bike connect over Bluetooth and report their own distance, straight into your splits. SLED METERS, MEASURED Put your iPhone on the sled for push and pull. It measures the distance and shows your meters live on your phone and watch. Walking with the phone in your hand doesn't count. YOURS TO KEEP Everything writes to Apple Health. Counts stay editable after the fact. Any plan or result goes out as a whiteboard card — the way it would look written on the gym wall. MOTION LAB (optional) If you opt in, RunStation shares the motion sensor data from your workouts so movement recognition can be improved. No name, no email, no location — a random ID only, and you can turn it off at any time. RunStation is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by HYROX or Upsolut Sports AG.
