FORMD adapts to first-time racers and experienced competitors alike, for singles or doubles. Train with purpose — not guesswork. FORMD programs your week with: • Training sessions built for HYROX race demands • Strength & conditioning designed for competition performance • Weekly benchmarks that show real progress As you train, FORMD identifies your limiting stations and shows where you’re losing minutes — not seconds — so you know exactly what to fix before race day. No generic workouts. No random programming. No hoping it works.

One focus. Every roll builds on it. GrappleLoop is a private BJJ training journal that helps you carry what you learn into your next session. Choose one move or concept, review a short cue before class, and check in afterward with what worked and what to try next. GIVE YOUR TRAINING A DIRECTION Set one active Focus and choose when to review your progress, from 3 to 20 attempted sessions. Keep the cue that matters close instead of trying to remember everything at once. CAPTURE WHAT HAPPENED Record your class type and outcome: Hit, Partial success, Stuck, or Not attempted. Save your next cue and optional notes about feedback, resistance, or surprises. Each check-in becomes part of your training history. REMEMBER MORE FROM CLASS Save other learnings without changing your current Focus. Build evolving topics with dated notes, connect them to your own BJJ references and video links, and choose a saved learning when you are ready for your next Focus. SEE YOUR PRACTICE TAKE SHAPE Browse your Log as a timeline, by topic, or on a calendar. Search notes and tags. Review your week and completed Focus cycles, then decide whether to keep practicing or move on. KEEP YOUR CUE CLOSE Add Today's Focus, Technique Reminder, and This Week widgets to your Home Screen. Keep your Focus cue on your Lock Screen and mark your review from the widget before training. YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR RECORD Use light or dark appearance, export your training data, and manage or delete your account from Settings. GrappleLoop organizes what you are already learning. It does not provide jiu-jitsu instruction. An account is required. Syncing and saving new check-ins require an internet connection. Start with six free check-ins. Continue with an optional one-time lifetime unlock, with no subscription or automatic renewal. The price is shown before purchase. Lifetime access removes the check-in limit for the lifetime of the GrappleLoop service. Restore eligible purchases from your account settings.
