Read full description

HyroxCub gets you ready for your first Hyrox (or to beat your time) with a plan up to race day, a full simulation with a race clock and a panda, Cub, who evolves with what you actually train. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED: the plan, the simulation, the division loads and Cub's evolution are paid content and need an active subscription: €32.99 per year or €6.99 per week, with no free trial. Full terms at the end of this description. ● A PHASED PLAN UP TO RACE DAY Tell us your date (or pick 12 weeks), your division, your experience, your goal time, how many days you train and what kit you have. HyroxCub counts back from race day and lays out base, build, peak, taper and race week, with deload weeks and simulations where they belong. Intervals, easy runs, run + station and strength, with no sled or ski erg if your gym doesn't have them, and home alternatives with dumbbells and a backpack. ● YOUR PACES Race, interval, threshold and easy pace per kilometre, calculated from your goal time. ● GUIDED TIMER, WITH A VOICE Run intervals, run + station, EMOM, AMRAP, Tabata, intervals and mobility. A voice calls out every step over your music, beeps in the last three seconds, and the clock on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. ● FULL SIMULATION, WITH A RACE CLOCK 8 × 1 km and the 8 stations in their official order: ski erg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer's carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. One tap per split, the transition inside the station split, and the clock never stops. When you finish: your time, whether it's a new best, the split and pace for every station, your weakest station and a card to share. Mark transitions, undo a tap and pause. Plus a half simulation (8 × 500 m and half stations) and timed single-station tests. ● DIVISION LOADS AND PACE PLAN Reference weights for every station by division (singles or doubles, Open or Pro), a target per split to get under the time you're aiming for, your predicted time and a radar of your eight stations. And race week: what to do each day, your bag, a guided warm-up and the rules that cost time. ● CUB EVOLVES WITH YOU Cub starts on the couch. Every planned session, every half simulation, every full simulation and every station tested at official load adds points: the headband at 25%, the wristbands at 50%, the weighted vest at 75% and the medal on race day. Stop training and Cub loses energy, but never drops a phase. ● EVOLUTION A "race ready" percentage built from what you've done, not from weeks passing: consistency, half simulation, full simulation and the eight stations. With your milestones, your collection and your numbers. ● TODAY, NO THINKING The Today tab shows Cub, its energy, the workout that's due, how your week is going and how long until your race. Three tabs and nothing else. ● NO ACCOUNTS, DATA ON YOUR PHONE No sign-up. Your plan, simulations and times are stored only on your device. Apple Health is optional. — SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED — Auto-renewable subscription: €32.99 per year or €6.99 per week (prices may vary by country). There is no free trial.

Most lacrosse injuries never involve contact. The ACL, the hamstring, the shooter's shoulder — they go on a cut, on a dodge, on a cold first step. LAXProtocol is the warm-up, speed and strength work that guards against them, filmed rep by rep with Cape Concierge PT, a Cape Cod physical-therapy practice. Over 80 drills across six sections, each with its cues written out. Not a video library to scroll — a structure a coach can actually run: what to do before practice, what builds the armor, and what you owe your body afterwards. THE WALL KEEPS SCORE Wall ball is the sport's daily ritual, and the app gives it a set list with real names — the Starter Five, the 250s, and the tiers a day streak opens. Timed rounds run themselves; rep rounds wait for your Done and tick an honest pace. A ball-down key keeps a clean-rep percent beside the finish, and a balance ledger shows how your wall time splits between your hands — because lacrosse is the sport where the weak hand has no hiding place. All of it stays on your phone. THE FILM ROOM, ON THE FIELD Start a session and its film saves to your phone, so a turf field with no bars still plays every clip; Settings can keep the whole library. Sideline mode blows up the controls and brightens the screen, and touch lock shrugs off a stick bump. The session clock runs practice by hand, on timed reps and rest, or in stations, and calls the next drill out loud. Your playlist keeps going underneath, mirror flips a clip for a lefty, and AirPods, a clicker or Siri can run it. NO ACCOUNT, NO SETUP There is no sign-in, no password and no roster. Download it and more than 15 free drills are already there — at least one in every section — including the prehab core and three printable handouts. Nothing to set up before a practice you are already late for. SEE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING Every filmed drill shows a real frame from its own footage, locked Pro drills included, so you see what is behind the paywall before you pay. LAXPROTOCOL PRO Pro unlocks the rest of the library: the speed and agility ladder, the full strength block, stickwork and dodging, and the whole recovery section. Choose a monthly or annual plan, or the lifetime unlock — every way in opens the same drills. Both plans start with a week-long free trial for new subscribers and renew automatically at the price shown until canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings or in the app's Settings. The lifetime unlock never renews and never expires. Restore with the same Apple Account. Which drills are free is a coaching call that may change as the program develops. Terms of Use: https://playprotocol.tatzel-labs.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://playprotocol.tatzel-labs.com/laxprotocol-privacy SIDELINE TOOLS • Sweat rate — weigh in, weigh out, get a real fluid target instead of a guess • Hop symmetry — a single-leg hop screen with left/right difference worked out for you • Workload — acute-to-chronic ratio, so a training spike shows before it costs you a player • Heat check — heat-index guidance against the usual practice bands These are screening tools for a coach, not a diagnosis, and the app says so where you use them. Anything that hurts goes to a clinician. HANDOUTS FOR PARENTS AND PLAYERS Clean one-pagers you can text to a parent or print for the locker room. BUILT TO BE READABLE ON A FIELD Type scales with your text size, VoiceOver reads every control, and six coats of paint, from old-school slate to dyed-mesh neon, are mixed for daylight and night. PRIVACY, PLAIN-LANGUAGE • No advertising, no analytics, no tracking SDKs of any kind • No health data — the sideline tools work out a number on your device and keep nothing • Nothing is sold or shared, because nothing is collected The program — the drills, the progression, the coaching — is built with Cape Concierge PT. The app is published and supported by Tatzel Labs LLC. Questions? Email support@tatzel-labs.com.
