Pulse Studio

Pulse Studio is the app for your gym's group classes. During the workout, the room TV shows each participant's intensity in five effort zones, the estimated calories and the points. In the app, you get ready for class and see your results afterwards. To use it, your gym needs to have Pulse Studio. The heart rate strap belongs to the gym: in class, it sends your heart rate to the room TV. FOR MEMBERS • Book a strap for the week's classes, with a waitlist. • Check in with the QR code on the room TV, or in the app, and enter your strap number. • See the results of each class: points, estimated calories, time in each zone, heart rate and your position, to share if you want. • In PULSE Fight classes, also see your rounds and your recovery in each break. • See the history of your classes and of your solo workouts. • Follow your gym's ranking by week, month or all time. • Take part in challenges and complete the badge album, when your gym turns this feature on. • In "Turma" (the gym feed), post workout photos, like and comment on your gym's posts. • Train solo, outside class: the phone reads the strap over Bluetooth and shows zone, estimated calories and workout time. • Decide whether your name appears in the ranking. FOR INSTRUCTORS • See today's classes, open and finish a class. • Check members in and add guests who have no account in the app. • Follow the class live: heart rate, % of maximum heart rate, zone and calories for each member. • In the "Alunos" tab, see each member's profile: heart rate of their classes and "yes" answers to the physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q). FOR GYM ADMINS • Create the manager account with the code from the PULSE STUDIO email and the number on the TV box label, with no health questions. • See on the "Painel" what needs attention: join requests, straps with low battery and TVs without signal. • Manage members, class schedule, effort zones, straps and TVs. • Give access by QR code, with role and time limit. • Pair the room TV with the QR code on its screen and see whether it is online. HOW THE NUMBERS ARE ESTIMATED • Maximum heart rate: estimated with the Tanaka formula (208 − 0.7 × age). If you exceed it for 10 seconds or more in class, it is adjusted upwards. • Zones: ranges of maximum heart rate. Z1 from 50% to 60%, Z2 from 60% to 70%, Z3 from 70% to 80%, Z4 from 80% to 90% and Z5 from 90%. Below 50% is rest. The gym can change the ranges. • Calories: estimated with the equation by Keytel et al. (2005), from heart rate, sex, weight and age. They only count from 50% of maximum heart rate. • Points: time in each zone times the zone's points. By default, 1 point per minute in Z1, 2 in Z2, 3 in Z3 and 4 in Z4 and Z5. The gym can change the points. • These formulas come from groups of people: they help you compare your effort between classes, not measure your body precisely. PRIVACY • Heart rate and PAR-Q are used only with your consent, which you can revoke in the app at any time. • Only you see your solo workouts: the gym has no access. • The camera scans PULSE QR codes and takes the profile photo and the "Turma" photos, only when you choose. The QR image is not stored or sent. • You can delete your account in the app, under "Você" → "Dados e direitos", and also at https://pulsestudio.app.br/excluir-conta • Your workout data is stored on servers in Brazil. • For adults 18 and over only. The app is in Brazilian Portuguese only. Not for medical use: PULSE STUDIO is not a medical device and the numbers are estimates to follow your training. If you have any doubts about your health, see a doctor. Pulse Studio is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, and does not replace assessment by a health professional.
