Pain points of traditional
training plans
Built-in plans from sports watches are one-size-fits-all, can't adapt to your actual condition, still pushing high intensity even when you're injured
Want to create an interval workout? Tap countless times on your phone to set pace, time, reps... too tedious
Without proper analysis, just got a score. it's hard to know how you actually performed and how to improve
Just tell CoachX what you need, workouts are created and synced to your watch automatically. After training, CoachX analyzes your performance and provides improvement suggestions
