The Training Hub

The BlazePod Training Hub is the place to create and begin your activities on the BlazePod app.
It includes your saved activities, and colletions recommendations, your favorites, and your most recent activities. From there you can go to The Explore section, where you can find all BlazePod predefined activities and colletions! 

Explore Screen

You can reach the Explore Screen by scrolling down the Training Hub and tapping “See all” next to the Explore list. Here, you will find all BlazePod predefined activities and collections, where you will discover innovative and engaging  activities to train with your Pods! 

Pod Settings

First thing you need to do is to connect the app to your Pods. First, make sure your Bluetooth is turned on.
Tap the Pod settings icon –
On the screen you will see two lists. One with all available Pods (all the Pods in range that aren’t connected to any other device) and one with your connected Pods.

Use the actions next to the title to apply settings to all the Pods in the list at once or press on an individual Pod to apply settings to that specific Pod.
*Please note that the maximum number of Pods that you’ll be able to simultaneously connect to will depend on the mobile device itself.

Activity Screen

Create Screen
In this area you will be able to create your own activity based on settings that you can customize.
First, choose the light logic. The light logic determines how the Pods light up.

Activity Settings

Each Light logic contains a different set of settings that you can change for the specific activity.

General Settings

• Working stations refers to an activity that runs with a specific number of Pods. For example, if you set up 3 Pods for a burpee, you can set up a second Pod station with another 3 Pods to use the same exercise for another player at the same time.
• Number of Pods are the number of Pods  working the specific activity. As with the number of players, we are talking about the number of Pods in a single Pod station.
• Number of cycles refers to the amount of times you want the activity to run. If you select more than one cycle, you will also need to decide how much time you want to rest between the cycles

Activity Settings

• Player refers to a single participant taking part in a BlazePod activity. Please note that we refer to the number of players in a single Pod station. For example, if you would like to have two Pod stations and need two Pods for the  activity, you will need four Pods in total.
  • By tapping on the players’ name, a list of options will appear, including the ability tocreate a new player. The results of each player will be displayed separately within the analytics after the activity.

• Activity Dduration is where we set the length of the activity.
  You can choose between one of 3 options:
  • Hit – the activity will end after the numbers of hits that you’ve set.
  • Timeout – the activity will end after the amount of time that you’ve set.
  • Hit/Timeout – whichever comes first. Either you reach the number of hits you set or the time you set runs out.

• Lights Out is where we choose how to turn off the Pods’ lights during an activity.
  You can choose between one of 3 options:
  • Hit – tap out the Pod’s light to turn them off.
  • Timeout – the Pod’s light turns off after the set amount of time.
  • Hit/Timeout – whichever comes first. Either you reach the Pod and tap-out the light, or the time runs out and the next Pod lights up.

• Light Delay Time is the time between a Pod’s light being turned off, until the next Pod lights up. You can choose between 3 options:
  • None – the next Pod will immediately turn on after the first one turns off.
  • Fixed – the next Pod’s light will turn on X seconds after the first one turns off, based on the number of seconds you set.
  • Random – the next Pod’s light will turn on a random number of seconds after the first one turns off, based on the minimum and maximum seconds you set

• Competition Mode can be set in a competition activity, where you can choose one of 2 competitive options:
  • Regular mode – each player taps out their own light.
  • First to hit mode – the first player to tap out their light, automatically taps out all competitors’ lights too.

Home Base Logic – special settings

• Home base Pod color will determine the color the Home Base Pod will light up each time.

Focus Logic – special settings

• Number of distracting Pods – determines how many Pods will light up in order to distract the player.
• Distracting Pod colors – different colors will light up in the distracting Pods.
• Strike Out – if chosen will determine the number of strikes (false hits) until the activity ends.

Sequence Logic – special settings

• Number of steps – determines how many Pods light up in the activity.

Collection screen

• When tapping on a specific collection, the collection screen will appear.

Pods Indications

When you are in a specific activity, the participants’ Pods will be flashing to indicate which of the Pods have been selected to be used for the specific activity.
There are a few types of indications:

• If all the activity’s Pods are being used in the same way, then all the Pods will flash in the same color.
• If one or more of the Pods has a specific placement position or purpose, then each Pod will always flash in its specific color according to the setup of the specific activity.
• If you have more than one player, each with their own color Pods, then all the Pods in use will flash in one player’s color, followed by the next player’s color, and a third and fourth and so on.
• There are also different indications for different light logics –
  • Focus – the Pods will indicate only the chosen color; you will not see an indication of the distracting colors.
  • Home base – the Pods will indicate in 2 steps; which Pod is the ‘home’ Pod, and the rest of the Pods together- to make sure to separate the home base Pod from the rest.
  • Sequence – the Pods will light to indicate each step, color, and order (which Pod will light first, second, etc).

Results Screen

In the results screen you will see the results we receive from the Pods in real time, for each one of the players, in each set, in each cycle. There might be changes in the result screen between different light logics.

Performance Tests Screen

Here you can find all Athlete Performance Tests. We offer a variety of tests and update them regularly. Performance tests differ from standard activities in that you can compare the results with the industry standard results, track your  best performance and analyze progress.

Analytics Screen

On the Analytics screen you’ll see your results history, which will help you keep track of your and your players’ progress and improvement. You can additionally export your results for further analysis, or send them to your clients to  showcase their improvement.
