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.

RoxTarget turns your own times into a predicted finish for a fitness race of eight runs and eight stations, and a plan that gets you there. EVERY NUMBER IS YOURS Your predicted finish starts from a typical time at each station and swaps in your own as you log. Runs straight off a station are measured as runs under fatigue, so the prediction knows how much you fade, rather than assuming it. A PLAN THAT REWRITES ITSELF Pick your race and the days you can train. RoxTarget writes your sessions onto those days, all the way to race day, and rewrites the plan around what you log. The coming week is held still, so a session you have arranged your week around does not move under you. APPLE WATCH Time today's session, a full simulation, or a session of your own from your wrist. Each run and station is split with its heart rate, the walk between them is timed as a transition, and an outdoor run ends itself at its distance. Double tap finishes a movement on watches that support it. Workouts are saved to Health, and the session goes to the app when you save it. RACE DAY Predict lays out every run and station against a typical time. The race day sheet puts your splits end to end, with the time in the transition zones in the clock, so the last row is your finish. SQUADS Train with people. A squad shows each athlete's predicted finish beside yours, and a pair or a relay is predicted from its members' own times. Everyone racing the same event can join that race's open squad. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Sign in with a passkey, an email code or a link: there is no password to leave lying around. Your profile is only public if you switch it on, and you can delete your account and everything in it from Settings. RoxTarget works for HYROX and other fitness races with the same format. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by HYROX.
