Accurate Rep Counting: Did you have to stop short? No problem, Glideboard tracks your reps and lets you easily confirm or adjust the final count when you tap "End Set." Hands-Free Voice Counting: For exercises where your body covers the entire bench, simply switch to Voice Counting and call out your reps as you crush them.

A running coach in your ear that says when to run and when to walk, by your live heart rate. Go above your range and your coach has you walk. When your heart is ready, you run again. Made for beginners, for anyone starting again, and for anyone who wants easy Zone 2 running without watching a screen. ZONE 2 RUNNING MADE SIMPLE Choose how the top of your heart rate range is set: First Gear's estimate, MAF, Zone 2 or your own number. Your coach handles the rest, so easy runs stay easy. A COACH THAT ADAPTS On a warm day, after a break, or the day after a run, your coach can give you more room to walk and tells you why before you start. After a few short runs, it can set a shorter goal. There are no questionnaires and no readiness score to check. ON THE WAY TO A FIRST 5K Most beginner plans run on a stopwatch. First Gear follows your heart rate instead, so a hard day means more walking, not a failed workout. YOUR EASY SCORE See how much of each run you spent inside your range. It is feedback on that run, not a fitness test. STRETCHING AFTER YOUR RUNS A short guided stretch on iPhone, about 5 or 10 minutes, after a run or any time. The moves change by the day and each one is timed, so there are no reps to count. Your coach talks you through it, with video when you're online. WHAT'S INSIDE • Live heart rate voice coaching over your music • Two coaches, Lana and Cal • Runs from 10 to 60 minutes, or an open run with no set length • Six stages, and you choose when to move up • A guided warm-up before you set off • Each mile or kilometer called out as you pass it • A spoken recap of your run at the finish • Heart rate, pace and distance on request on Apple Watch • Optional breathing and form tips in your headphones • Outdoor route maps shaded by effort • Heart rate charts that mark each call your coach made • Weekly time in range, resting heart rate, records and badges • Widgets, plus your iPhone run on the Lock Screen • GPX and TCX export for outdoor runs • Runs and stretches saved to Apple Health USE THE GEAR YOU HAVE • Apple Watch on its own, so your phone can stay behind • iPhone with AirPods Pro 3 or Powerbeats Pro 2 • iPhone with a heart rate watch or strap over Bluetooth, such as a Garmin (beta) Runs with your iPhone are outdoors and count like any other run. NO STREAKS. NO GUILT. No catch-up workouts. A break never takes away your stage, and your badges stay yours. No account required. First Gear does not support runners with a heart condition, a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator, or medication that slows the heart rate.
